Needlepoint of La Jolla recommends that either stretcher bar frames or scroll frames (dowels with side arms) be used. We have found that your work will be more aligned whether you use basketweave, continental, or a decorative stitch. Although we prefer using a frame, we want our customers to enjoy stitching their chosen canvas in the method he or she desires.

If it is your choice to use frames, we have the very best. K's Creation's scroll frames vary from 9" to 34" wide, also available are K's lap frame bases---baby, standard, and large, that correspond to the various widths of dowels. The mini stretcher bar sets are light weight and reusable, they range from size 5" to 18", and are nominally priced. Floor frames are used by stitchers who may be embarking on a larger project such as a rug or wall hanging. For these projects we can set you up with K's Ultimate Stitching Station, Lowery's Work Stand, or with Needlework System 4.
