A quiet upgrade for the dedicated maker.
When using a punch needle taut fabric is essential for allowing the needle to move smoothly through the fabric. Stretching your fabric tight is easy with a punch needle gripper strip frame. Simply place the fabric over the frame and pull over the strips to tighten. With your fabric tight, using a punch needle will be easier on your hands and wrists.
These are high quality gripper strips are specifically for use with punch needles and rug hooks. Gripper strips are attached to the frames at a slightly curved angle which opens up the teeth and maximises the grip of the fabric.
All frames come with a wool mix felt fabric cover as standard to keep your hands protected from the sharp gripper strips. Additional pieces of felt are included for you to cover the corners where the grippers are the sharpest. (Please note colours may vary.)
Frames are lightweight, sturdy and easy to use. The frames are suitable for use with monks cloth and linen.
