Tension Tip

Post by Lisa2758 »

I've been stitching a project in which the Aida was really stiff and I couldn't get a good tension with my Qsnap frame. Yesterday we were having a clear out and I found a couple of damaged latex gloves. I cut the gloves down and put some double sided tape on the Qsnap, stuck the pieces of latex on and - hey presto! super-gripped fabric. :applesauce:
