Product Details
NB: To make a frame you need four stretcher bars or 2 units. e.g. one pair of 7" and one pair of 9".
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 9" needlepoint stretcher bars are 9" long and 1/2" wide.
Sold as a pair i.e. you will receive two 9" 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 two pairs of 8" stretcher bars. If your cut canvas is 7" x 9" you will need a pair of 7" and a pair of 9" stretcher bars.
See our Accessories section for needlepoint thumbtacks - an easy way to attach your needlepoint canvas to the stretcher bar frame.
