Perhaps a short discussion of exactly how the frames work is the
best way to introduce you to them.
The principles of operation are exactly the same for both models. Both
have 1/2" thick pin-guard sticks on the sides which, as you will see,
come into play in mounting your backing. In addition, the lap model also
has pin guards on the laterals for the protection of the pins during
travel. A couple of words regarding the pins before we go any further -
the pins are made of hardened steel so they will not bend, and are spaced
1 and 1/2" apart around the edges of the harp. Having a diameter of
1/16" and a smooth, rounded top, the exposed 1/2" length of the
pins is neatly covered by the matching thickness of the pin-guard sticks.
Referring to the drawings, the frames are designed to allow you to place
any part of your rug over the working area (whether it is already hooked
or bare) and make it taut to facilitate easy hooking.
