HOW TO: Attach Embroidery to a Scroll Frame

Requested by Lola Zavala, I go through my method for attaching embroidery, and specifically cross stitch, to a scroll frame.

When attaching your fabric, you should roll your finished "cross stitch" scrolls to the inside of your scroll rods. So when you are handling your stitchery frame you are touching the back of your fabric and stitchery. Keeps your stitchery clean and safe from dirt and oils from being handled by your hands. I really like how you lace the sides of your fabric, I will definitely try this with my cross stitch. Great video!

I just found your video (November 20, 2019), and I firmly believe that now I can successfully do this! I'm not had any confidence before, and my earlier attempts have not been successful. Thanks a lot.

I am very new to framing my work in this is very interesting I never even knew what a roll bar was thank you for making this tutorial and this is 2021 that I'm watching this I am an elderly woman and love to do crafts I do a lot of sewing embroidery crocheting and knitting for charity so now I've added and learning more embroidering a friend told me about three dimension embroidering so that is going to be one of my new crafts thanks again I think I will try this on a my next project

Thank you so much for explaining how you laced the ends. It FINALLY made sense to me.

This video is just what I needed, I’ve been trying to lace a large piece of work on the same frame as yours but couldn’t get it tight. Thank you so much 👏👏👏

Thank you . Your tutorial is so useful and its 2024!

Thank you so much for this video. I bought a frame but have not used it cause i had no idea how to put it on

[oragamiowl]

So helpful! I got one of these for Christmas and didn’t have a clue how to use it. Thank you.

[merrystreeter]

It was very helpful! I've never done cross stitch, so your tutorial was amazing to learn how to attach the roll frame! Thanks so much!

Thank you for this, even though it is a few years old. I have used my scroll frame basically to just find my project. My Dimension printed fabric is loosely on it but even though it started out tight, my cats for some reason love to lay on it when I put it down so now it is I'll work on that tonight. It did not occur to me that I should do anything with the side-to-side tension. You explained this very well.

I bought mine from an auction house and had no idea how to use it. Bless you for sharing

[Whiskyunicorn]

Thank you! I've been struggling with a large full coverage in a Q snap and decided to bite the bullet and get the same scroll frame you demonstrated on!

All you need is side tensioners! It would save you a TON of time from sewing and tightening your sides the way you do, and they're easily adjustable and movable! You can find a bunch on Etsy.

Great tutorial. Clear instructions. Many thanks! This is the second time I have watched it.

Friend asked "whats cross stich?" i answered - "pixels, , with colored thread" :D I'd love to create my own cross stitching designs eventually. I have a lot of favorite art and friends who do Pixel art online. Currently i'm suffering from My hands cramping holding the hoop, and i have to keep moving it around to reach all the areas which is both annoying and it has messed up my already placed threading. I've been trying to find options for a scroll frame. I found one that has a really good system in place where you dont need to stitch or tape it down, the brand was Lokscroll. Kinda pricey for me though. I like the ones with the tension rods and knobs, i think a lot of what i've seen have to be sewn onto as well. Not sure what style yet i'll go with. I recently saw clamps you can put on the side bars to keep tension on the cloth edges. Thanks for the vid

Thank you so much for this - super clear on both visuals and explanations. You have a lovely manner 😊.

VERY HELPFUL video! And I agree with someone else about you editing, much appreciated and helpful as well.

[cherylmccloy]

So happy to see you do this. I did the same thing. It seems to work much better and after some research I found that in olden days this is what was done as well. Lovely. Thanks.

[stitchingwithasmile]

Thank you! I've never secured my sides, only the top and bottom. I'll give this a try.

New subscriber, I’m putting a giant Golden Kite pattern/Aida on a scroll frame today, 5 ft long frame 🙄I know I’m crazy, but I wanted to know how others do these frames, as I’ve only worked in giant hoops before..Thankyou so much as I didn’t even think about my cross tension! I have a rod to rod tension stick to help with the length, but didn’t think about the side to side, Thankyou for showing this!
