Canvas or material stretching system for user to stretch a canvas or material on a frame without the use of stretching pliers and staples. Special purpose corner clamps are temporarily used to secure the stretcher bars into an initial open miter frame to orient the double sided adhesive strip on the side of the stretchers towards the canvas while maintaining the adhesive strip from touching the canvas. Once alignment is achieved, the stretching bars are pressed down and attached onto the canvas and the corners are released. The corner clamps are removed and canvas are cut and folded into the open miter ends which also have adhesive strips. By rotating the stretchers axially 90 degrees into the final frame, thus closing the miters, and upon inserting U-shaped fasteners into grooves placed on the back of the stretcher the canvas is stretched and ready to display.
