Needlepoint stretcher bars are used to make a frame that you attach your needlepoint canvas to so that it is held nice and tight while you stitch.

These needlepoint stretcher bars are 8" long x 3/4" wide.

Sold as a pair i.e. you will receive two 8" stretcher bars when you order 1 unit. To make a frame you need four stretcher bars or 2 units. For example, if your cut canvas is 8" x 8" you will need four 8" stretcher bars. If your cut canvas is 7" x 9" you will need two 7" and two 9" stretcher bars.

See our Accessories section for needlepoint thumb tacks - an easy way to attach your needlepoint canvas to the stretcher bar frame.

Sofia ★★★★★

These bars hold my 8 inch canvas drum-tight and I finally stopped fighting saggy fabric while stitching. The 3/4 inch profile fits my desktop frame without wobbling. Just wish the set came with more than two, because I'm already ordering another pair.

Ella ★★★★★

The 3/4 inch width gives me something solid to grip while tacking the canvas down, which I didn't get with my old flimsy bars. Canvas stays drum-tight the whole time I'm stitching. Wish I'd switched to these sooner.

Leo B. ★★★★★

These 8 inch bars fit my small ornament canvas perfectly and the 3/4 inch width gives my fingers enough room to grip while tacking. Canvas stays taut the whole time I'm stitching, no sagging in the middle like my old hoop.
