This is good for all 4 sides of one canvas (one set for the length, one set for the width)
Add stretchers bars onto your needlepoint project to make stitching a breeze! We will measure your canvas and send wooden stretcher bars that are just the right size. Add brass tacks in your order to easily attach your canvas to the stretcher bars.
If you need stretcher bars for a canvas not in your cart, please provide us with the entire size of the canvas you need these for (the entire length & width). This can be added as a note on the cart page.
Size: 1/2" Width for the mini bars (available 5" to 19" in 1-inch increments) Size: 1" Width for the regular size bars. (available 20" to 28" in 2-inch increments)
Please note - the canvas size listed for any canvas is for the painted design only, and does not include the blank canvas edges (which varies 1" to 3"). If your length measures halfway between sizes, you should choose the smaller size (ex. 12.5" will need the 12" bar).
Please note - our default size to pick is the mini 1/2" width bars, unless you specify you want the 1" regular size bars (or if the minis are out of stock).

Can’t live without stretcher bars!
These stretcher bars are lightweight wood and of excellent quality. Very easy to assemble. These were the perfect size for my canvas/ project. I have made the mistake of purchasing very inexpensive stretcher bars from a large online retailer and they were complete junk. I can reuse these bars for every project of this size. My best and most enjoyable needlepoint work has been when I used stretcher bars.

Thin stretcher bars that are perfect
for traveling. Quick delivery.
Learning the foundation stitches, Tent, Continental and Basketweave Stitch. Learning the appropriate way to start and end threads. Chooses clearly defined designs with plenty of background and no shading. Likes to work large areas of one stitch that requires no compensation. Comfortable with using floss, pearl cotton, merino wool and/or tapestry wool.
Level 2
Expanding on foundation stitches and learning Alternating Continental, T-Stitch, Brick Stitch and its variations. Learning to read stitch diagrams that also include verbiage. Starting to learn how to compensate a stitch that cannot be completed within a defined area. Working with a mixture of single strand and pliable threads on one project to add depth and dimension. Adding stitches that build off of Tent such as Mosaic, Scotch and Cashmere.
Level 3
Learning more complicated stitches such as Rhodes, Byzantine, and Herringbone. Also adding composite stitches into repertoire such as Criss-Cross Hungarian. Reads stitch diagrams with or without numbers and verbiage. Understands compensation. Adding textured threads including man-made fibers intended for metallic, sparkly, and fluffy effects to projects and can work through shading effectively. Uses a stitch guide for projects and sticks to it. Comfortable plying and or blending threads.
Level 4
Enjoys a good stitch guide but is willing to dismiss parts in order to incorporate personal artistic interpretation. Has a library of "go to" stitches and can work through all variations of Turkey Work, Jessica Stitch, Crescent Stitch and Openwork Background stitches. Comfortable compensating in complex design areas. Ok with random stitches such as long and short stitches. Views a stitch guide as just a guide and is comfortable using stitches other than what is recommended.
