Gripper Frames

The Pioneer II line of rug hooking gripper frames is constructed of unfinished baltic birch for superior strength, and our frames are available in both the lap frame and floor frame styles, as well as a small punch needle frame. The opening is 12" by 14" and is the perfect size--not too big or too small.

**Please note: Our frames are custom built to order and we are about 4-6 weeks out right now. If you have any deadlines please let us know, thanks!


More about our frames...

The fine metal grippers are strong and securely attached; they work for any backing, I have personally used linen, monk's cloth and burlap and never had a problem with my rugs staying firmly taut.  The frame has a rounded edge, opening up the grippers for more holding ability.  Molded plastic tri-knobs are easy to grip and turn, they won't dig into your fingers like regular metal wing nuts.

The frame swivels on the base 360* and tilts to any angle.  The floor stand model raises and lowers to your desired height and angle as well, making this frame fully customizable to your needs.  It is even light weight and easy to take to your hooking group--and now even collapses for easy portability!

Shipping costs will be displayed in the shopping cart when you click on "Order".  All gripper frames are carefully custom built to order for you by our master carpenter, so please allow up to 4 weeks for his high quality construction.   It will be worth the wait!

Never re-tighten your fabric while punching again.  You will never go back to a hoop after trying this frame. Slightly rounded edges give

the grippers more leverage on the fabric, keeping
it completely taut while you punch.
