Do you mean this one - http://www.faedmunds.com/images/RFAll3Frames_000.jpg. Mine is in a bag in my hall to go to the charity shop as I just couldn't get along with it. Of you are in the uk you are welcome to it for postage.

Parcel sealing tape!

My scroll frame is a stitch and scroll frame, but once I'd stitched it onto the frame and got it to the right tension it started to pull and pucker the fabric....I now attach my fabric to the frame using carton sealing tape and it holds it nice and securely, plus it comes off easily when I'm done, leaving only the smallest trace, whcih can be washed off when I wash the finished project anyway.

I purchased one and promptly gave it away. I couldn't get the proper tension on my fabric. I then tried the split scroll frame...it was just as bad for me so I'm sticking with my Q-Snaps.
