What Is A Needlepoint Scroll Frame?

A needlepoint scroll frame literally scrolls the canvas onto a wooden frame and tightens it to create a firm working canvas. Genius!

To attach the canvas you either hand sew it onto a bar tape, or sew on by machine. See photos.

The canvas is then scrolled up, top and bottom, until it becomes taut.

A company called K's Creations makes probably what are the most widely available frames in the U.S. The K's Creations website has a needlepoint scroll frame tutorial and is a good source for information about the types that are available.

You cannot purchase frames from the K's Creations site, but they can refer you to a stockist. Once again this is likely to be your local needlepoint retailer.
