Oh my my. You have saved me from lot of pain. Thanks a million trillion

Very clever, thank you for sharing. I had been looking for one of this frames for my cross stitch projects. Love it

such a nifty idea😁 I love how you explain everything so well, but are still a bit confused sometimes; makes you feel so relatable😂👌

Absolutely ingenious. Excellent tool making!

I liked seeing how simple your set up is! Something that occurs to me, or what I would do for myself is sand the corners off the long edges of the sticks of the stitching frame, to soften creases on the rolled up fabric.

I've just discovered your channel, subscribed and I've been totally binging all your videos. LOVE your channel much. Ou seem so.real and relatable,, unlike some other youtubers and you explain things so well.Can't wait for more videos. So happy I found you!

That frame is a great idea. The length dowels can be round to avoid the creases on the fabric. I don't know how well the clamp will adjust on a round dowel

Thank you for this video! I saw it this morning and just finished making mine 🙏🏽

Very clever, simple and effective. Reminds me of the frame my grandma had for crossstitch. The embroidery is beautiful too.

Wonderful video. Very informative and the embroidery looks stunning.

So simple and effective idea. You are so clever & beautiful 🤗

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this!

This is brilliant

Thank you, I know what to do if I run out of scroll frames! I use legs like yours with bolts and wing nuts, a cross brace and holes drilled in the scroll frames to attach to the frames but will give the clamps a try.

Love it!

this video helped me a lot. thank u!

So smart and you're so helpful to share this idea! Pls share the pattern too it's lovely! Am on my way to make this frame and start my embroidery project! Thanks so much 💝

I like this idea. I'm just getting into embroidery and where I live we don't really have these frames and the ones that do exist are crazy expensive and not the right size. And if I were to import one, not only would it be expensive in itself, the import taxes would likely double the price. I hope you sanded down the pieces, but really good idea.

Can't wait to try it at home ! Thanks for the inspo 😉

This might be a moot point or have already suggested by now since it has taken me so dang long to watch your video...but as this is the age of Rona and time is no longer a concept I comprehend... have you ever considered using 90 degree clamps? They could alleviate issues/annoyances stemming from the c clamps having to be orthogonal to the scroll frame to function (plus there are quick release varieties, my personal favorite). Some designs have a low-profile clamping mechanism positioned on the outside of the join. As someone who is inexplicably prone to having their clothing snag on objects, the potential for taking out the frame via spindle is terrifying (the one advantage of working from home since last March has been not getting stuck by a belt loop on any lever style door handle I pass by). Using the c clamps to adjust the tilt of the frame though..omg so brilliant! I'm totally willing to overcome my c clamp paranoia for that feature. The 90 deg. clamps would probably require slight modifications to the length of the top and bottom dowels since they're made to hold pieces of wood or metal together whilst you join them permanently (ie: enables maximum laziness, aka efficiency, if you're making a picture frame or tack welding a metal structure). I could see there being some stability issues with this type of clamp depending on the density/length of the dowels and the quality of the clamps. My apologies if my ramblings make no sense at this point, my brain is still stuck in work mode and describing an idea that would take 30 seconds to draw a picture of turned into a comment novel.

Brilliant

Hi. Thank you for this amazing video, c clamps holding the frame edge which size?

Aloha, have you ever thought of putting velcro on your wooden attachments, the using the vice to secure it? Mahalo for sharing

Just found your video through a link. Love your idea of building your own stand. I may look into doing that for myself. I have a scroll frame and - yeah. Really does need a frame to 'support it' while working, and as you say, the price of stands is. . .horrendous. I really like this idea of making a simple stand of your own. Thanks! Have you considered using screws instead of the clamps? My frame is built *similarly*, though I use round dowels to roll the fabric. The original frame was bought ages ago. Like. . .25+ years ago and wasn't terribly expensive and I've since expanded it, but it's basically held together with a screw through each end of the dowel (the screws are actually called 'hanger bolts', I think. Essentially a screw with no head, so it goes into the dowel, but the other end remains threaded so you can stick it through something else and screw onto it.) The side bars then have a hole through it and you can stick the screw through, and secure it with a washer and a wing-nut. So instead of having 4 clamps, you have lighter wing-nuts to tighten/untighten. An extra hole in the middle of each side-bar and you insert another screw (normal screw this time - with washer and wingnut) to secure it to the stand. Just a thought and suggestion for you. It might make the whole setup a lot lighter, and your joints smaller - while still being easy to break down quickly. It also makes it a little easier to move your work, as you only have to LOOSEN your screws, scroll the fabric, then tighten things back up. :D

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m about to start a super ambitious embroidery project, and having a frame like yours is going to be key 👌I’d also be curious to know about your markings- do you do them all ahead of time, or draw them on the fabric in each section, when the tension is on? What do you use to mark? I still get so nervous using washable pens 😬

I saw you do a video where you actually built your frame using C clamps and dowels and I can't locate it can you help me navigate to it?

Did you draw the design on first or do you draw it onto the fabric while on the frame?

The sides are 18 inches. How long are the top and bottom dowels that the fabric is rolled on to?

Still confused

you are a lovely young woman who needs to script what you want to film. Plot out your video, plan it out and write a script or make a cheat-sheet. You wasted too much time hemming, hawing and trying to figure out what you wanted to talk about. Filming videos on the fly is exceptionally difficult to do. It's even much harder to do well. Most people end up doing what you do... guessing, wasting time thinking about what to discuss next and losing track of what part of your topic you want to discuss and why. A cheat-sheet is a good way to organize your thoughts on paper. Write down what you want to discuss on paper. Decide what you want to talk about and write it down. Highlight the topics you want to emphasize about. Do a screenplay and lay out the areas of the topic you'd like to discuss about the product or project you want to demonstrate. Not to be too cruel, but I found myself getting bored and frustrated with your presentation because you kept getting lost. You had to stop, pause and decide what you were talking about, or what you wanted to talk about next. Get to know your product well. Get to know all the names and features of your product. Get to know the names of the tools used in your build so that you aren't getting lost trying to figure out what the tools are called. A great example is when you started trying to guess and name the clamps used on your tambour embroidery frame. Did you know? The word "Tambour" is in reference to a drum. The Tambour embroidery frame is so-named after a tambourine, which is a drum with bells on the hoop. Tambour Embroidery is so-named because of the tensions applied to the fabric when mounted on the frame for embroidery. It is said that "the fabric should be stretched tightly like a drum," because when tapped on it makes a slight drumming noise. Pause: I'll continue shortly: Resume: Ok, I'm back. Had to stop and cook breakfast for 'The Wife." There are so many ways to add the hardware to your tambour embroidery frame & stand. You could use carriage bolts fitted with wingnuts and lock-washers on the pivot points. Just be sure that the wingnuts are to the outside of your frame on the topside so that they are easier to tighten. I like what you did, but the idea bears improvement possibilities. Practice your videos ahead of time. Plan out and plot what you want to discuss. Write a script and rehearse it. Keep a cheat-sheet on hand to remind yourself of your subject. It will keep you on track and focused what you want to discuss. A script and a cheat-sheet will help you learn about your products that you want to review or demonstrate. In the end you will sound much more professional and better informed. I gave up watching your video out of frustration because of your lack of "preproduction work" that you need. I liked the subject matter, but am no fan of your presentation. You are a lovely young woman who is well spoken. You have a wonderful speaking voice that can translate to videos very nicely and you could in theory anyway, do a very nice and clean narration for any video. Thank you for your video and for your time.
