Review on πŸ”§ Edmunds HC-820 Handi Clamp Scroll Frame, 8x20, Natural by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A little more is required, but it's worth it

In the '70s, the same frame featured a strip of dense fabric attached to each roll, securing the canvas to the frame consisted of sewing canvas and fabric together. It was very reliable but time consuming and of course if someone made a mistake on the original line it was a nightmare to correct their mistakes. I found a new technique, a plastic clip that clips onto the canvas and roller, much more practical; but the recommendation that came with the frame to "insert a piece of fabric" to give the setup "extra support" proved ineffective. Which "cloth" did you mean? How wide should the fabric be? I ended up finding something in my sewing supplies that turned out to be the winner. Velcro closures on the back. Strips are 3/4 inch wide and come in 6 foot rolls. I cut two 18 inch strips from the "sandpaper" side (I don't know the terminology so I call the two sides of the Velcro attachment system "sandpaper" and "cloth") and glued them on the upper and lower roller . . My canvas attaches with Velcro and then a plastic clip squeezes them together, forming a secure connection that can be easily adjusted if needed. I love it. Happy sewing!

Pros
  • Wooden ballpoint pens make it easier to scroll the fabric
Cons
  • Requires an electrical outlet
