I have one frame with slotted dowels (which I hate!), a full set with different
scroll rods and side bars with the fabric that you have to baste your material
on (better than the slots, but I don't like sewing my material onto the basting
tapes) and a full set of handiclamp scroll frames (which I adore!)

The handiclamps use plastic peices that snap over the dowels to hold your
fabric. The first time I put fabric on them, I had to adust it a few times
till I got my tension the way I liked it, but I haven't had any problems at all
since then.. I've asked my husband for a second set for my bday, since I have
so many WIPs on the go.. LOL (But it is pretty easy to switch on and off the
rods with the handiclamps.)

Should I get the scroll frame that have slots? Or the fabric tabs one sews
the piece to? How does one control the tension on the sides? Clips with
elastic type "thingys"?

Any suggestions for brand names?

Thank you so very much!!!!!
