To make sure your material is straight and taught, put 1st clamp in the middle on side of frame where you sit, then go to opposite end of frame and attach clamp directly opposite the 1st clamp pulling material tight. Now go to one of the long sides and repeat, tightening as you go. Same for the remaining side. Go back to the side where you started, and place a clamp 1/2 way between the middle clamp and the nearest corner. Repeat on other side. Repeat on remaing 3 sides, adjusting tension as you go. If you need more tension put on more clamps. If your clamps are opposite each other, add more clamps if you want. Just remember that each clamp needs an opposite clamp to keep even tension. If this is too confusing, look up how a quilter keeps the layers of a quilt straight before binding. (I apologize for the length.)
Do it in the way that puts the fewest stumbling blocks for you. If making videos will slow you down, don't. But if they give you a break and prevent burnout, go for it! Either way, I'll watch it!
I stitched on a really fine tulle. I used the Casa Collection stretch tulle from Joann. I don't recommend using something with a stretch, but it was what I had and it ended up not causing too many problems.

That’s exactly how I was taught to stretch a canvas when I took painting classes and we had to stretch our own canvases 😊 very good advice!

Plzz give size all pipe
For the frame I'm stitching on at the end of the video, I used 4 24inch long pipes to make the square, and 4 18 inch long pipes to make the legs.
Now were those q-snaps?
I think they're the same as Q snaps, but buying them as PVC snap clamps from the hardware store was cheaper for me.
@@threadandneedlefish Thank you!
I am from india hand work as
Smaller bites, please.
