A taut foundation is the key to great results! Loose fabric creates resistance and bounces under the needle, making it harder to punch and more challenging to form consistent loops. When your backing is stretched taut on a frame the punch needle glides smoothly, loops are more even, and your hands can stay relaxed.

Oxford Gripper Strip Lap Frame

Our lightweight and sturdy pine Oxford Gripper Strip Lap Frames keep your monk’s cloth foundation fabric stretched “tight as a drum,” to help you punch successfully. Each frame is made with high-quality gripper strips to hold fabric securely as you punch, making your movements more efficient and your stitches more consistent. These frames come in a wide range of sizes to suit every project and have been a long-favored choice in the Oxford Rug Hooking School.

Features:

  1. Strong yet lightweight pine construction
  2. Marked corners for fast assembly
  3. Built-in screw system for travel and storage
  4. Compatible with all Oxford Punch Needles
  5. Easy and extremely quick to use.
  6. Keeps your backing exceptionally taut; improves loop height, speed and ease of punching.

Morgan No-Slip Hoop

Morgan No-Slip Hoops are an economic alternative to punch needle frames. They have a unique interlocking channel that holds your foundation cloth in place. Similar to embroidery hoops, but better, these no-slip hoops are good for beginners trying out the craft of punch needle rug hooking. The 14" (35.56cm) diameter Morgan Hoop is great for small projects that are less than 8” by 8” (20 cm x 20 cm) in size.

Oxford Frame Covers

To protect your hands from the sharp edges of the gripper strips, we have our specially made Oxford Frame Covers in a variety of sizes to fit all Oxford Gripper Strip Frames. Made with soft fleece and cushioned polyfill, they add comfort to long punching sessions and the strong elastic allows for the frame cover to be easily put on and removed from your frame.

Oxford Frame Cleaning Brushes

Our specially designed frame cleaner brushes with handles similar to the Oxford Punch Needles work like a charm to keep frames ready for new projects. Fiber fuzz can collect between the teeth of the gripper strips during regular use, and a thorough cleaning is easy and convenient with this punch needle tool.

Our curated collection of punch needle supplies is trusted by thousands of fiber artists!  Whether you’re just starting or building your dream craft studio, shop for our professional-grade tools to help you punch with ease and joy.
