Embroidery Frames in History, plus How to Dress a Slate Frame

 Various embroidery frames have been used over the centuries, including the slate frame, scroll frame, and tambour frame. Learn how to recognize these different types of embroidery frames and when they were popular to use, from the medieval period to the Renaissance and Elizabethan times to the Edwardian and Victorian eras to the present! Also, watch a step by step demonstration on dressing a slate frame.
