This frame is supplied with clamps which grip fabric really well. Gecko is supplied which helps the clamps grip extra firmly keeping your work as tight as a drum. The grips are interchangeable and you can work on the top section for small pieces of work and the stand section for larger pieces. The stand can be flattened to make transport easier It is ideal for working on your lap or at a table. It is advisable to work with your strongest hand underneath the work and pass the needle through the work to the stronger hand. This means there are no unneccesary movements from hand to hand around the frame that can slow you down. It is very easy to turn the frame upside down in order to finish off threads. Remember to release your work from the frame when you are not working.

A complete set of six tatting needles for use in a variety of needle tatting projects.

Match the thickness of the thread you choose to the tatting needle from your set.

Erythrinas - commonly known as coral trees - are indigenous to South Africa. The flowers are a vibrant orange, the leaves a deep green and the dark brown, knobbly seed pods contain bright red seeds called lucky beans. Vyv has painted the Erythrina in a botanical style and because of the beautiful colouring it has been printed in colour on the cloth for you to embelish with free style embroidery stitches to add texture and your own creativity.

Attached to the tray cloth is a photograph of the completed embroidery showing the stitches Vyv used.

A list of the DMC article 117 Stranded Cotton colours used is also provided as a guideline.
