Gripper Strips for Rug Hooking

This is a “First Quality” gripper strip, the type you see on many rug hooking frames. Build a frame or apply it to the frame you use now and make that frame so much more useful.

Don’t you hate it when you struggle with pressing your hooked mat between hoops? The gripper strip allows you to spread your rug across your frame. The metal teeth hold the backing snugly in place. It is easy to move from one area of the pattern to another. You can hook on thick rugs without flattening your previous work between hoops.

Each strip is 101 cm in length (40 inches)  and 3.175 cm wide (1 1/4 inches).  It may be cut into sections to place around your frame. The all-purpose strip works well with all backing fabrics, though some feel it’s the best choice if you’re using Burlap or Linen. We also have a Fine strip. It is often used for Cotton or Linen.

We include instructions for cutting the strip. In stock in Canada so no customs tax or duty.
