I must admit I was worried about my lack of concentration being able to sit through over an hour for a tutorial but unlike most of the tutorials I find on YouTube, Jenny not only tells you how, but also why something is done in a particular way which held my attention. Thank you so much jenny for a most excellent tutorial.

Thank you, Jenny, for this great tutorial. I purchased the slate frame and accoutrements on Monday night, it arrived Thursday from the UK to Tampa, FL. What great service. Now, with the help of this tutorial, I am ready to embroider on Sunday morning. I would have been ready last night but It just got too late. After hearing others talk about how long it took to set up their slate frames, I was anticipating a much more arduous process. This was actually pretty easy and did not take long. Thank you!

This has been an incredibly helpful tutorial Jenny, thank you! I followed along and have managed to lace up my first slate frame with your guidance. I really felt like I had you sat next to me whilst I worked my way through your method. Much appreciated! 🥰

Hello Jenny thank you for a comprehensive video so good to see you as I attended a stump work course at the RSN given by you. I have my piece in the wooden box your father made. Happy stitching Neil

Thank you, Jenny, for demystifying how to set up a slate frame. I’ve been wanting to get started on your Owl & Pussycat design but couldn’t get round to framing up using the instructions in a book. Now I have no excuse😀❤️

Thank you so much for the clear instructions, can I ask at what point in the process would you draw on your design? Thanks again

Thank you Jenny for this wonderful tutorial. I have a question. I usually use silk for embroidery and I use calico for backing. How do you do slate frame in these cases?
Many thanks
