Clip Snap Frames

A snap frame is a frame type where four PVC tubes form a square or rectangle with corner pieces and the fabric is clipped onto the tubes; the fabric takes no ring marks, tension is adjusted by turning the clips and large pieces are worked by rolling. This page gathers Calin clip embroidery frames in 20×20 and 20×28 cm with 2-piece spare clip packs. Ideal for cross stitch, tapestry and large embroidery panels; it also holds thick fabric well in punch needle. Other types are Plastic Hoop and Wooden Hoop, all in Hoops.

How to Use It

Lay the fabric over the frame and press the clips onto the tubes over the fabric; turn the clips to tighten. On long pieces roll the finished part onto the tube and re-clip. A broken clip is replaced from the spare pack; frame covers and stand options are in Hoop and Stand Accessories.
