Arabeska Cross Stitch Scroll Frame Set with Plastic Clamps from Beech Hardwood Different Sizes (S/L/SE) (Large)

Having purchased another substandard frame from a different seller, I was a tad gun shy, but I read the reviews, looked through the questions/answers, and hit “buy now.” I am so impressed! Easy to use, top quality (smooth, sturdy, light), holds the large needle point canvas I’ve been wrangling for months. I rarely take time to write reviews and always wait a while to make sure I’ve used the product enough to endorse or critique and so I hope people find this helpful. I purchase the large set because I wanted to accommodate my large canvas, but in doing so, I gained enough parts to set up a second project if I needed to. The wood is like a nice piece of furniture, smooth and (not that it matters) attractive. The smooth attribute was something I worried about. The largest frame is still lightweight (I’m no spring chicken) and not unwieldy—another concern I had. And the short plastic grips are well designed, easy to use and work! They keep the canvas snuggly on the rod, which I was worried about, since many folks use them for cross stitch in the reviews and I am doing needle point. I am 100% satisfied with this product. So happy when something works out!

I've tried - and subsequently hated - at least 3 brands/types of scroll frames, so I didn't have a lot of hope when I followed a recommendation from an online stitching group and gave these a try. The first thing I noticed was how well these things were finished. I come from a family of woodworkers, so I'm more particular than most when it comes to wooden items. These components are smooth and beautifully finished. The second thing I noticed was the ease of attaching fabric to the rods. None of the profanity-inducing methods (no basting to cotton tape stapled to rods, no split rods, no hook-and-loop tape) are required. You just lay the edges of your fabric over the channels in the rods, snap on the clamps and you're good to go. I currently have a large project on longest rods, and the frame holds it drum tight. No slippage at all. My Lowery floor stand handles this frame with ease. I'm super happy with this purchase, and I hope this company continues to thrive. The label on the box notes that the founder of this (Ukrainian) brand died defending Ukraine--a fact that hit me right in the heart.

I was hesitant to spend this much money on another scroll frame. I spent a reasonable amount of money on a split dowel frame previously and I couldn't stand it. It was hard to use and constantly lost tension. There were not a lot of reviews for this one, for an Amazon item anyway, and the cost was a bit high but the reviews that were there seemed genuine so I decided to go for it. I was blown away with the quality. It is all hardwood with a really nice finish. All of the edges are rounded with no sharp edges anywhere. The kit came with three different roller sizes, two different sides, and 2 sets of nuts so you actually get two frames that can be used at the same time, albeit different sizes. The clips that hold the fabric on are very secure and very easy to use and I find that aida cloth can be tensioned across the entire length and width so no side clips are needed in my opinion.

Beautifully made. It’s many frames in one, and I love the ability to choose the width and length depending on the project in working on. I had a cheaper frame with wing nuts and split rails. It did not keep the fabric tension and tightening the wing nuts hurt my fingers. The fabric tension on this one is perfect and the smooth wood on the knobs makes tightening this one a breeze. Just buy it already

Seems very well made and it was made in Ukraine. The packaging said the founder of the brand died defending Ukraine. I'm excited to use this. Gonna make it much easier to stitch.

Great idea. Loosens too easily and doesn't grip tight enough.

I have a stand that needed more frames. I have several wips going at the same time. This is sturdy. I like it a lot.

The is a very high quality item. I am so glad I looked at the reviews and did not scroll by because of the price difference with the cheaper ones. This will last forever I think. I also like that it is from a Ukrainian shop. Very well made and worth the cost given that it will last. Also this will cover multiple sizes of needlework pieces, including enough parts to have two projects going at once. Terrific.

A little fiddly to keep linen straight loading but it is secure and seems to be holding taut so far. Saves having to baste on and reasonably priced.

I just opened the box with this frame system in it. I have to say I have used many hand held frames over the years and I am so mpresses with the quality and the durability of this product. If I could have done 10 stars I would have. The clips are very easy to put on and off. The wood will never strip because of the metal screws and inserts. And finally, the wood is sanded with no rough edges of slivers. Immediately after I write this review, I am going to order the next size set down. Very versatile and adaptable to all you cross stitch or embroidery needs.

Beautifully made set of frames, easy to assemble, solid wood

I am using the frame for continental stitch tapestry. It is very easy to attach the canvas to the frame without using stitching or staples, but the canvas is held firmly. The frame is light but sturdy and the wooden tightening screws are easy to adjust. Wonderful!

Is working great with holding the aida cloth in place.
