Recommended Supplies
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.
