Setting up an Embroidery Frame for Beading // The Pansy Project

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

That’s amazing synchronicity, getting a tapestry frame for $10! I’m going to have to build mine.

[@florabernstein605]

Note; that IS a rolling frame if you need it to be. I totally understand frankensteining it yourself! awesome job there! You are going to want to sew that twill tape on the sides also. Otherwise you will be constantly snagging yourself or the thread on those pins! and it huuurts! other than that go forth and bead!

[@florabernstein605]

Also you may want to make yourself some legs, angle brackets or both if it is now top heavy, for under the front end of the frame to rest on. Those flimsy butterfly nuts are great for keeping the frame together but not sturdy enough to keep it up where you need it for comfortable stitching.

Thanks for the tip!

Looking forward to how it works for you. I have a frame for cross stitch and embroidary. I set mine up to roll, but interested in your expansion. More working area seems great, but my worry is ergo/posture? Expanding the frame means increasing your reach, so keep that in mind if your back starts hurting.

I can't wait to see the beading and the rest of the costume ensemble.

[@deniseyoung3738]

Oh, I can't wait to see the beading! This project is going to be so pretty!

I love thrift store finds! It’s pretty much how I do most projects around here with 5 kids. 🙂 Erika

I'd love to have a frame like that for embroidery. It would be so much easier on the body and hands than holding a hoop. No wonder folk centuries ago invented it. What a deal for $10 !

[@debrapritts7978]

Enjoyed this video! Great bargain and you’re lucky to find just what you needed!👍🏻

[@lynneeie5226]

😍Ooo never done anything like this, but soooo much fun watching you! 🪡🧵🥰

[@Ladythyme]

Wow! That frame was a real bargain for $10!

[@EnchantedRoseCostumes]

I was speechless for a full minute when I saw it 😆

[@Ladythyme]

@@EnchantedRoseCostumes i would be too! Glad it went to someone who will make it useful and do it justice 😉

[@tashacano3324]

Hmm I think I could probably build a frame based on this just looking at it. Otherwise I'd never get my hands on one. Thrift stores here just throw away most crafting supplies😢

[@sherri-lynnwoods8170]

Congratulations on the $10 find. 😊

[@mcomeslast]

Yes! I want a frame like that for tambour and have no idea how. Woohoo!

[@subliminalphish]

I'm looking forward to seeing this. Until next time... Bye for now.

[@EnchantedRoseCostumes]

I'm looking forward to seeing it too 😆😆😉

[@subliminalphish]

It will be fun to see how it goes but I do think it will be a tiny bit more fun for you because I'm thinking you're blessed getting to do it❣️😁🤘🖖🤟

[@SusanYeske701]

That's a great thrift find!

[@SimpleDesertRose]

I've done lots of embroidery but never any beading. I'm super excited to see how this turns out. ❤

[@Kera.S.]

I can’t believe you found that much less for the price! Lucky lol

[@lauramailhot9364]

Now you can do a smaller project or a bigger project having two frames

[@stefaniegiglio]

Right now, @katmakes is running a tambour course on her channel where she goes over some setup stuff too. She might have some good tips/advice :)

[@EnchantedRoseCostumes]

Ooo thank you for letting me know! I'll have to check it out!
