Tired of or frustrated by having to stretch your needlepoint canvas<\/a> back into shape after you have finished needlepointing? That was always the part I disliked the most about a needlepoint project. Years ago I found a Victorian needlepoint\/embroidery frame in an antique wholesale warehouse in San Francisco while I was looking for dining room chairs. No one was too sure what it was or what to do with it. I did! It was going to make my life much easier when I made the needlepoint seats for the chairs I purchased at the same time. The frame was itself a work or art, and I have used it constantly.<\/p>\n

Edmunds Split Rail Scroll Frames<\/a> which are also available at many retail stores. They come in varying sizes and don\u2019t require that you attach extra fabric to fit a specific size.
