Scroll Frame Question
Jacquard_The_Ripper opined thusly:
Hi the I have a 16" scroll frame and an upcoming project that's 16.5 W X 9 L. Can I put it in the frame sideways with the sides rolled up instead of the top and bottom and just hold the frame sideways to work? Or do I need a larger scroll frame? Cynthia I'd just put it on sideways and work it that way. Regards, --Anne |

I did TW's Angel Procession by putting it sideways on the scroll bars. When
I was done, I was very displeased with the end result. I really like a LOT of tension on my scroll bars and tend to stitch with a lot of stitch tension. The end result was that when it came off the scroll bars the finished piece was distorted and my VDW Karen with all her infinite patience could not get it to iron out nice and even. The framer even had a lot of problems and it is noticeable -- the top and bottom frames of the picture are not even. I would suggest obtaining some longer scroll bars or making some yourself as one of the other posters suggested. I have store bought scroll bars in all sizes from 12" length up to 26" length and gave made a couple of my own that are longer yet. Michael F.

I did just what you suggest when I was working a long narrow band that was to go around the inside of a sewing basket. It worked fine for me, but slower than usual. First I had to make sure my side-ways stitches would look like my regular stitches done on upright fabric. As I remember I had to change my stitching pattern. Also, at first the pattern was hard to follow, but I worked through that. I would do it again, if I had to, but just think spending about spending more time on it. Boo |

I have a friend who prefers to work this way all the time. So if it's
comfortable and you are happy with the way things look, you can do whatever you like! What are you starting on? Nosy, Paula B. (Jacquard_The_Ripper) wrote in message news:3f3d5782.22327324@news...
