EZ Stitch Scroll Rods with Webbing vs Scroll Rods with Tape

EZ Stitch Scroll Rods with Webbing

Each Scroll Rod has this heavy duty webbing stapled right to the rod. You will hand stitching or you can machine sew machine sew your fabric right to the webbing on the Scroll Rods. Add the Side Bars and you are ready to stitch.

EZ Stitch Scroll Rods with Tape

There are two separate parts to make the tape system work. The Tape for Scroll Rods & Tape for Fabric.  The Tape for Scroll Rods comes already applied to the Scroll Rods. The Tape for Fabric attaches across each end of your fabric. A huge plus when using the tape is that this unique design allows you to remove and reattach your project in seconds.

The Tape for the Fabric has a very sticky back and is not re-useable. So each new project gets new Tape for Fabrc.

How to attach The Tape for Fabric:

You will attach the EZ Stitch Tape to the top and bottom of your fabric.  To ensure I have even tension top and bottom, I fray the edge of the fabric until I get a straight line or in this case I place it along the bias.

Then I place the fabric tape a few fabric threads above that straight line. This tape is very sticky on the back so be careful as you place it as it is not removable.

You then simply place your fabric on the Scroll Rods and scroll it up. Your fabric now has even tension through out.  Best of all, it is kept clean and neat. 

Once you have your fabric on the scroll rods and scrolled up, push down the middle of the fabric. This will cinch it up on the rods making it wrap tighter around them.  Do this until you have the tension you like.

See our EZ Quilted Accessories for added protection.

Once you have completed the project, you will simply cut the Tape off your fabric.

How to get tension going side to side:

Now, if you have smaller size project like 6" up to 24", the tension top to bottom will be so great that you will find you don't need any tension going side to side. If you are doing a larger project, I have found if I decrease the space on the side bars it will increase my tension all over my project, including side to side.

Whether you are just starting out, or have been stitching for decades, The EZ Stitch Scroll Rods with Webbing and with Tape come in a variety of sizes to fit your stitching needs.
