ABSTRACT:
A needlework frame of the scrolling variety, created to simplify use, which provides a non-slip method of attachment of the needlework base fabric to the scrolling rods that reduces the possibility of damage to the fabric and/or the accomplished needlework; that makes it possible to easily remove the needlework from, or return it to the frame and; that makes it possible to exert the desired tension upon the fabric without danger of the fabric slipping, distorting or becoming disengaged from either the supply or the take-up rod. This secure grip is provided by the placement of each end of the width of a length of fabric between a pair of parallel dowels which are permanently joined together at their ends, winding the fabric once around one of the joined dowels and over the other and installing the fabric-wound dowels in a corresponding lengthwise trapezoidal slot in each of the scrolling rods, where the application of tension to the fabric, by rotating the rods, causes the dowels to twist in the slot and bind the fabric securely between the dowels and against the sides of the slot.
