All of your videos have helped me so much. I'm very grateful. I never thought I would be able to create such beautiful work and I am basically teaching myself from books and videos. I truly appreciate that you would spend your time making videos for people like me.
Aren't her videos lovely? You feel as if you are either looking right over her shoulder or you're sitting next to her. I learned to stitch as a child & all of my knowledge came from books as well. Dinosaurs roamed the earth back then and we didn't have the internet. 😂
I'm new to this and though it's a "simple" thing, knowing more precisely is so helpful. This is an excellent video tutorial, very straightforward, easy to understand, and taking nothing for granted, explaining everything, right down to the slip knot. Thank you.
This is perfect. It's very clear and easy to follow. It will also be a great review. I often forget some details when it's been a while since I last framed up. Thank you!
Thank you Sarah! I have a frame and wasn’t using it the right way! You make it look so easy! I think I can get mine working now! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I am a huge fan❤️
Having just discovered your channel last night, I have happy to say that I already watched 5 of your videos for beginners! I have learned so much, even though I’m not a beginner, I haven’t seen in several years, pre Covid. But, now, after watching your videos, I’m getting really excited to start up again!! Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship & wonderfully made videos!!
Thank you Sarah, I’ve always wanted to know and learn how to attach fabric to a frame without distorting the fabric. I’ve just placed my first order with your shop too. I’m looking forward to starting a new project to give me something more constructive to do whilst my three children are doing their online studies in lockdown. Thank you again your videos are by far the most informative, with really clear instructions to follow. 😊🌷
Thank you Janice, glad you are enjoying the videos! I think it pays off to get these beginning stages done properly, then you aren't fighting with your materials!
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Thank you Sarah, I received my order from you, everything is great! I even got the ‘hoop holder’ too. This is great because I struggled holding the hoop whilst sewing and trying to stop my threads becoming tangled. To give both of my hands to use for sewing is going to help me loads. I’m currently designing a small project, so I’ve been doodling and looking through books for ideas, my concept is ‘cats’. Where you used the elephant for your design inspiration I’m using my cat 🐈. I have just joined your Instagram page too 😊
Thankyou very much! It is a great way to frame up, and is fairly quick once you have done it a few times. Your finished results will be well worth the extra effort at the beginning...
This has been my go-to reference for using a scroll bar for the first time. The piece I'm working with is a printed pillowcase. The problem is the main figures were printed right up to the hem. I'm having to extend the length by stitching cotton fabric to the edges and then attaching the herringbone ribbon to the cotton fabric. Maybe I should post this one on reddit as well. 😂 Thank you for your wonderful videos!
This is a little bit much for me. Your table clamp and bar frames you sell on your website, must have come later ☝🏽 which I know I’m gonna love! Can’t wait! Everything can be simpler and I have noticed that over the past month, watching your videos over the years 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽 Mia
This is a fairly universal framing up technique Amad, If you are using a finer or more delicate fabric, just use caution when tightening the frame and keep an eye on how the fabric is behaving as you do so.
Sara what do you put in your pounce pad? Ty so much for sharing your knowledge. And you sound so calm which is very relaxing. Thanks to you I am so excited to get started..I am almost done with my sewing/ needle book.Yay❤❤
This is the best instruction I've seen for setting up an embroidery frame. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. Can you tell me the name of the tape you use. I can see I need to get some.
Thank you Rosemary, glad you found it useful! The tape is herringbone tape and you can buy it in two widths from our shop here: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/prod_6650420-Herringbone-cotton-tape-White-38mm.html
Hi Sarah, what do you do if you’re working on fabric that is bigger than your frame that you will be moving later to embroider the whole area? How do you secure so you don’t damage the fabric or your previous work?
Thank you for a very informative video. What do you do when you have a very long project and you need to take up the section you are not working on onto the rollers. Do you just use just fix a tape onto the entire length first? But we can predict that the sides will become bulky and the centre will be loose.
Do you mean the tape on the side Lina? I just put it on the part I'm working on then if I roll the fabric I actual unstitch it and move it. Check out this video here where I do exactly this: czcams.com/video/yHcwXzngLjo/video.html
Hi Sarah... If I am using a piece of fabric longer than the frame, I think you mentioned in the comments below that it's possible to roll the extra fabric on the roller. However, do I attach the herringbone tape just to the section of fabric being worked, then detach and reattach when I roll upwards to a new section of work? Or, do I attach a piece of herringbone to the entire piece of fabric then roll up the whole thing? I didn't know if this might distort the fabric with the extra bulk created?
Hi Sarah, would you follow the steps exactly the same if you're using a backing calico? My embroidery will be very densely stitched so using 2 layers for support. Thanks for this great tutorial!
Katie Tume Sorry for the late reply Kaite; yes frame up the calico as per video then you will have to attach the fabric you are stitching on to the calico afterwards. Pin it and stitch it on with the frame loose though, then tighten both pieces together so they are at the same tension.
thank you for sharing! i was wondering how to fix the problem with the edges not being taut enough, turns out i just wasn't using the frame correctly haha
How you support a larger size frame (ie 18 inches plus)? Do you need trestles? I'd like to get a slate frame to try a larger project, so I think it will be too big for my table clamp stand, but trestles seem to be very expensive. Thanks for the video. This will really help me when I get one.
You need something to support either side of the frame so try balancing it on a table and a chair or similar combo, you will need to get creative! If you have an Ikea near by, they sell very cheap table tressle legs which will do the job!
I use plain cheap muslin if i'm practicing. I'm just mostly self taught however. You can pretty much use anything woven though. I'm so thankful Sarah and others started posting proper videos and websites on tambour and Aari. Just a handful of years back there was very little online and it basically was just "Here is how to do a chain stitch, now good luck figuring out how to do everything else!" : ) Books were available but I couldn't afford them. I started using a regular embroidery hoop too which slows things down quite a bit. Anyway good luck! It's really enjoyable
my frame has slits to put the aida cloth in but it doesnt stay tight. Could sew a piece of fabric along the edge of my work to thicken the ends so they will stay tight? I believe it is an Edmund A. floor stand .
Could you put the Aida in the slit then put some tape over it to hold it in place? You can put webbing on a frame (the herringbone tape in our shop is perfect for this) but you would need to nail it on or use a heavy duty staple gun
What if your fabric is much longer than the frame, and you will have to roll it several times? Does the herringbone tape move? Or do you do it for the entire fabric? Also, can you embroider on the underside (the side without the herringbone tape)? or only on the side with the herringbone tape?
+Pam Taylor These frames come in lots of different sizes so if you can get one that fits your fabric this is ideal. Sometimes you will need to roll it if you are working on a really big project. If so you can put herringbone tape on the whole length of fabric then roll it around the frame. This can become a bit bulky and there are other methods other than herringbone tape that can be used to tension the edges. I will try and cover these at some point! You can embroider on which ever side you like Pam, it's just easier to stitch the tape on the top side and stitch on the top side. Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing. I notice in your videos you use your two hands for embroidery with the round frames, so how do you hold this frame while stitching?
I use a verstaile table clamp for small frames Mo M like this one here: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/prod_4538062-Versatile-table-clamp.html Or if you are using a large slate frame you can prop on a table or a pair of trestle legs
I'm sort of new to the embroidery world and I have learned a lot from your videos, so thank you. You didn't really say when/why you would use this type of a set up rather than just a simple embroidery hoop. Is this for larger pieces or a different kind of embroidery? I'm getting ready to do a larger piece that I've done before (finished size 11x14). Would I use this kind of a set up?
That will be a different kind of frame then Lisa, probably meant to use in a different way. If you can describe it, I will try and help with how to use it
Hi Sarah, I love your videos and your impeccable techniques. I recently completed my first sampler that included long&short stitching areas (flower petals). My fabric made little valleys and ripples at the edges of the long/short and satin stitch areas. Do you think that it's because I did not have 4-way tension like you do and I only secured the top and bottom scrolls? Or, is it more likely that I pulled the stitches too tightly while working them?
Both of these thinks Peptiopen in conjunction with each other. Long and short shading can be very dense once worked, so make sure your fabric is at a tight tension all the way around and try to keep your stitches at a nice loose tension (take some deep breaths first!) and you should find you avoid the bubbles in the fabric. You might be able to pull them out if you mount it tightly around a board...
It is cotton herringbone tape, available here in either 38mm or 25mm width: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/prod_1561634-Herringbone-cotton-tape-White-various-sizes.html
Hi Sarah just watched your tutorial and it's very helpful however I have a lacis professional embroidery/Tambour Frame 😔 which is slightly different to yours this is my first time trying out tambour but I don't know how to set it up I was wondering if you have experience in this type of frame I can't seem to find a tutorial video on it the instructions provided is not quite clear to me as I am only a beginner is it possible to do a video or instruct me 😃
+Cindy Kennedy I have never seen these frames before but it looks like, from and image of one, that you attach the fabric to the bars in the same way as I have done, then trap the side of the frame between the wooden bars?
Hi Sarah, in the photo at the beginning of the video, there is another blue fabric that has been mounted on top of the cotton fabric. I was just wondering why this is? What is the reason for not just mounting the blue fabric on the frame like you would with the cotton fabric? And how is this mounted, is it just pinned/hand stitched onto the mounted fabric? Thanks!
The cotton fabric is the backing fabric, then you sew your embroidery fabric to the backing fabric Thomas. For the piece you are talking about, I only had a small piece of silk which is why it's sitting in the middle of the frame! You just pin one piece to the other on a loose frame (the two pieces of fabric need to be at the same tension when you join them together) nad sew on with either a herringbone stitche or a long and short stitch. Then tighten up the frame so that both pieces tighten to the same tension
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery Thank you so much Sarah - that's really helpful info for me, I've been trying to figure out the tension issue so that helps a lot! :)

Great for larger projects and ones that might be on the frame for a while...
This is what no book could tell me about... thank you! Question: What do you do with pieces of fabric that are larger than your frame?
As long as the fabric isn't wider than the frame you can roll the fabric around the bars Nora!
This is a fairly universal framing up technique Amad, If you are using a finer or more delicate fabric, just use caution when tightening the frame and keep an eye on how the fabric is behaving as you do so.
Really clear, very useful. Easier to understand than book instructions.

Hi Sarah, what do you do if you’re working on fabric that is bigger than your frame that you will be moving later to embroider the whole area? How do you secure so you don’t damage the fabric or your previous work?
One question. Do you see the fold of the fabric to the twill?
I don't understand the question Shirley...

Giordana Giache
LSAD Ireland
Siesta frames sell them I think Giordana, search online for rollerbar frames...
How about if the fabric is too big for the frame to hold? How do u keep it fit
You can get a larger frame that it will fit onto or roll it around the horizontal bars. You can't frame up fabric that is wider than the frame though
my frame did not come with the tape on the dowels, what material could I use to attach myself p;s?
That will be a different kind of frame then Lisa, probably meant to use in a different way. If you can describe it, I will try and help with how to use it

Would this technique work on any fabric? (Silk-Organza)
You began the hand stitch portion with the button hole stitch to the fabric on the frame, in the middle. Because?
Starting from the middle evens out the tension along the bar Patricia...

What is straight stitch embroidery
I think it's embroidery done on a counted material Mary that just literally involves using straight stitches. A sort of a satin stitch with irregular length stitches I think...
