Be a Discriminating Stitcher!
Cozy, cuddly arc our stitchers perched on a shelf. Stitched on a scroll, they want to tell you why you should use the E-Z Stitch Needlework frame.
Today’s labor is tomorrow’s treasure. Since everything you stitch is an heirloom
There’s nothing new about scrolls. The ancients wrote on them and read from them. They were the books of the ancient world. Needlepointers have used them for years. Why not cross stitchers?
Good question!
Cross stitch is a natural for scroll frames. You can block the fabric the same way it is woven, and you eliminate the need for blocking later.
even, uniform, smooth, effortless!
Also, you won’t be tightening wing bolts or nuts that require tools, snag your clothing or scratch your furniture.
What’s more there is no need to prefinish your fabric. By stitching to the backside of the frame you will protect your piece if you inadvertently lay it face down. You will only touch the back of the piece as you stitch.
Besides, you won’t have hoop marks or distorted stitches that a hoop can cause. Even before you’re finished you’ll have an attractive way to display your work.
If you have any concerns about using the scroll frame why not enroll in a class at your local needlework or craft store.
Order one for Christmas. Be good to yourself. Remember, it travels easily too. Lightweight and easily tucked into your stitching bag when you’re in a busy airport or train terminal.
