How to use Custom Stretcher Plates 

 
The Custom Stretcher Plates, shown below, are included with your machine. The (4) 
screws mounted on the stretcher bar allow the slotted brackets to slide in and out. The 
slotted brackets allow for adjustment for different width stretcher bars.

Position both stretcher plates in the middle of the stretcher bar. Favoring one side may 
cause the stretcher bar to bind so always stretch canvas from the center of the machine.  
Place an assembled wood stretcher frame on top of the stretcher plates as shown below.
