12 Inch by 15 Inch Stretcher Bar Frame and Thumb Tacks
I recommend the inch stretcher bar frame to work my hand embroidery kit in because the frame is quick to assemble and the fabric stays taught in the frame. The frame comes with brass thumb tacks and a tack remover. The frame can be used over and over so if you purchase more than one of my kits you can use the same frame.

This is a fun design to pass away some time.
The design looks great in colour and variegated embroidery thread if you are not partial to black. Approximately 8 meters of a 6 strand embroidery thread is required for the embroidery.
You can work the design on any size fabric. The original embroidery was worked on 32 count fabric over two threads of the fabric but you can work the embroidery on and a bigger count such as 14 or 16 count fabric and working the stitches over one thread of the fabric instead of two.
