Review on 🧵 Arabeska Cross Stitch Scroll Frame Set: Beech Hardwood, Plastic Clamps, Different Sizes (S/L) – Large by Kristen Simpson

I have been doing cross stitching for 30 years, since I was a teenager I learned it from my mother. As I learned from my mother, I also learned her tricks of holding a picture while working on it. Sometimes she would use one of those old school hoops and fold and pin the extra image so it didn't get in the way. So here's how I've been handling mine since I found out. But I've always hated it, I hated the lines the tire left, I hated having to constantly adjust, I hated the fact that the tire loosens and I have to keep tightening it to get the to keep hell out. Finally, I took the time to look for an alternative and came across the roll tensioner. I was able to find such a carrier without any problems, but always only one size. Knowing that I would be working with cross stitch images of different sizes, I wanted something that came in multiple sizes. After some searching and searching I finally found this option, bought it and assembled it as soon as it appeared. Within the first few minutes of putting it together and putting my photo on it, I immediately fell in love with it and wondered how I managed to cross stitch 30 years differently. This thing is a lot easier to manage, fewer adjustments, holds up lessons from hell, is very durable and I love that it comes in multiple sizes. It was very easy to assemble. I didn't have to tighten once I put the hell into it. I love that the wingnuts are not traditional wingnuts, I could totally imagine catching on the wings of the nuts and injuring myself. This is an ideal tool for those who are engaged in embroidery. Then I plan on getting a stand because while I'm trying to hold it, the stand will definitely make things easier. And what I noticed was that I got through the section faster than usual because I don't have to constantly adjust the tire. I love this tool!
