When using scroll rods the fabric often becomes limp or loose while stitching, especially after rolling stitched areas onto the rods.
 
❤ My NEW improved ORIGINAL design, TENSIONEER STRAPS™ solves this issue. You can precisely adjust the length and elastic tension to stabilize the fabric edges, just the way YOU like it!  
As a stitcher, I know how important it is to avoid things that will catch and snag your floss, so my design for the Fabric Gap Strap avoids it as much as possible.
 
Tensioneer Straps™ include clips and VELCRO® Brand fasteners.  They include stretchy straps and are designed to be FULLY adjustable  to meet your needs.  They are available in sets of 4,6, and 8.  Use it for both Scroll Rod Side Bars AND QSnaps!
 
Each Tensioneer Strap™ is made with love in my smoke-free home.  They are made from  1" wide soft stretchy VELCRO® Brand fasteners so you can obtain the elastic tension you like, without twisting or bending.  If desired, you can trim the stretchy strap to meet your specific needs. 
 
Each Tensioneer Strap™ has a clip with plastic teeth to hold the edges of your stitching fabric.  You can choose plastic clips with teeth (standard) OR metal clips with plastic teeth (see image).  I believe the plastic clips are just as good as the metal, if not better.  Be sure to leave enough of a border around your stitching fabric so the clips do not touch the area you intend to stitch or might show when finished or framed. 
 
❤ 0-1" Fabric Gap TENSIONEER Straps™
Our smallest Tensioneer Strap™ gets you as close to the edge of the side bar as possible! 
This size includes sticky back 'hook', which is attached to the inside of the side bar for each strap.
Each strap has an overall length of about 5.5" inches from the edge of the clip to the end of the strap. 
 
❤ 1-3" Fabric Gap TENSIONEER Straps™
Our medium Tensioneer Strap™ is adjustable for a fabric gap between approximately 1 and 3 inches.  It is designed so the clip will fit as close to the side bar as possible without touching it.
Each Tensioneer Strap™ has a 'hook' tab to secure the exact length of stretchy strap you want!  Once secured the rough side of the tab is not exposed so your thread will not catch or snag.
 
❤ 3-6" Fabric Gap TENSIONEER Straps™
Our large Tensioneer Strap™ is adjustable for a fabric gap between approximately 3 and 6 inches.  If you need less, you can trim it, if you need more, please contact me for a special order.
Each Tensioneer Strap™ has a 'hook' tab to secure the exact length of stretchy strap you want!  Once secured the rough side of the tab is not exposed so your thread will not catch or snag.
Each strap has an overall length of about 14" inches from the edge of the clip to the end of the strap.
 
❤ Optional TENSIONEER Strap™ Tighteners
The optional Tightener is useful for holding excess lengths of TENSIONEER STRAP™.  It can be used with both the 1-3" and 3-6" sizes.  It will be most useful with the 3-6" to hold the excess strap tight (and tighten your tension just a little bit more) when it is used for gaps closer to 3". 
This strap has a rectangular metal ring and Velcro. 
 
❤  You can decorate your clips with ribbon, hair ties and even hair clips!
