Designed by Susan Louise Moyer, this easy-to-use fabric stretching system automatically adjusts the tension of the wet fabric as you paint, eliminating the need to restretch work-in-progress... removing the hassles of push pins, tacks, and sagging silk. Fine rust proof fabric hooks and elastic cord keep the fabric suspended away from the frame and the work surface. This unique patented stretching system and its sturdy wooden frame make this equipment ideal for painting yardage and pre-hemmed silk scarves. All parts are interchangeable to create a variety of stretcher sizes. It’s built to last!

*The frame can be completely disassembled for storage. Adjustable legs, easily slip on and off, can be placed most anywhere on the frame, enabling the frame to be supported on a surface that is smaller than the frame itself. Remove the legs to lay the frame on a flat surface for tracing, drawing, stamping, or screen printing designs.
