Abstract:
An embroidery easel apparatus includes a base, an adjustable arm with a lower end attached to the base, a rotatable head attached to an upper end of the arm, a clamp attached to the head, and a scrolling embroidery frame held in the clamp. The frame includes a pair of spaced rollers and a crossbar extending between side members. The clamp grips the frame by the crossbar, so that the rollers can be rotated for advancing a work piece mounted therebetween, and so that the work piece is not damaged by the clamp. The frame can be rotated or flipped over to allow access to the underside of the work piece. In a second embodiment, the clamp is rotatably attached to the upper end of the arm. The rotational axis of the clamp is positioned along the plane of the frame, so that the height of the frame is not changed after it is flipped over.
