Product Details
NB: To make a frame you need four stretcher bars (this is 2 units).
Needlepoint stretcher bars are used to make a frame that you attach your needlepoint canvas to, so that it is held nice and tight while you stitch.
These 8" needlepoint stretcher bars are 8" long and 1/2" wide.
They are sold as a pair i.e. you will receive two 8" stretcher bars when you order 1 unit. To make a frame you need four stretcher bars or 2 units. For example, if your cut canvas is 8" x 8" you will need four 8" stretcher bars.
See our Accessories section for needlepoint thumbtacks - an easy way to attach your needlepoint canvas to the stretcher bar frame.
