Choosing  a Tapestry Frame

A tapestry frame is not essential but using one will help to prevent your work from going out of shape. Using a frame also makes it easy to resume stitching the next day or after a break.

We stock a range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which take only a few minutes to assemble. The canvas is attached by sturdy clips, allowing you to remove your canvas and switch between projects if necessary.

See all our tapestry clip frames in our Frames and Accessories category.

For Paradise Birds, we recommend an 18" wide clip frame code CF189, or choose a CF219 or CF249 frame if you might stitch something larger in the future. A 12" frame (CF129) will be a bit of a squeeze. See all our frames here in our Tapestry Frames and Accessories category.
