Hello fellow stitchers

Post by Cheryl29 »

I'm Cheryl and I'm hooked on cross stitch. There, I've admitted it. :lol: I finished my first ever cross stitch last week. It was only a small one, but now I'm going to start a 10x6.4. It looks massive! Can anyone recommend the size frame I need to put it on? I've seen ones for 12 inches, would that be ok? I'm looking for a wooden one. Also, not to expensive. Thanks ladies.

Hi and welcome to the forum Cheryl!! We'd love to see a picture of your completed work and feel free to start a SAL thread for your upcoming work :D lol.

I love my scroll frame with a lap stand; I use it for all mid-size to large projects. It makes life so easy to just roll the fabric forward as you're ready to work on the next section. I think you can get one for around $20-$40.
