NEW PRODUCT - A MUST HAVE!

 

Gail Bird Stretcher framesStretcher Frames for Punch Embroidery

These frames allow you to attach fabric very tight (the secret to perfect punching!) without screws. It also keeps fabric on grain - a must for those square and rectangular pieces.


Frames are hand-made of wood, sanded smooth and have inset corners. One corner has a magnet to hold your scissors.

Stretcher frames are available with the following opening sizes:

 4 1/2" square, 5" x 7"  and 6" x 9"

 

Frames can not be used for designs larger than the opening. If your punch fabric is is not large enough for the frame, you can sew on a strip of fabric to attain the proper size.
