Very capable frame and standMay 27, 2009
By M. D. Raney
"globetrotter"
I bought this for my wife's cross-stitching projects, as she had been using a small hoop frame. The frame assembles easily and without any tools; the parts are joined together by bolts with hand-tightened wing-nuts. Getting the fabric into the slotted bars (the long sides of the frames) is a bit of a challenge and is easier with two people, but still it can be done by one person. You are buying it to hold the fabric, and it will hold it very well once it's in the slotted bars.
Once assembled, the frame works well. It does provide a large working area, up to 8.5"x24" as advertised, and you can easily loosen the wingnuts on one end to roll the fabric to continue working on a different part of the fabric (that is, you can create items that are 24" wide and virtually any length over 8.5" by rolling up the fabric around one bar like a scroll). Considering the light touch used to work the needle in and out of the fabric, the feet are stable enough to keep the frame standing even if you need to rotate the frame to access the underside of the fabric.
My wife enjoys it, sitting on the floor and working her patterns. It can be used as well in a chair, with the legs sitting inside or on top of the chair arms. Similarly, it is very easy to remove the legs and use only the frame portion for a more mobile application.
We would not hesitate to recommend it to any cross-stitchers tired of using the small hoop frames. This large frame prevents the difficult creases you get if you don't take your fabric out of the hoop after every session; leave the fabric in this frame and it'll still look sharp day after day.

 An easy, inexpensive option.Aug 30, 2009
By Arianna B. Bennett
You can certainly spend a lot on fancy needlework stands, but with this it's just not necessary. Easy to use, lightwieght, and if you keep the side bolts loose you can flip the work up easily to see the back of your piece. I think this is great for someone who likes portable hands free crafting without spending a fortune to hold the work.

Craft standDec 23, 2009
By Carolyn B. Gatliff
I didn't even know they made such a thing as this anymore. It is absolutely the greatest little invention ever. It holds my needlepoint project perfectly while I sit and talk or watch TV. It comes in pieces and I'm not very mechanical, so someone else put it together for me. I would highly recommend this little stand to anyone who can't stand to just sit idly, doing nothing.

"book bee"
I used this product more than 20 years ago, and paid a small fortune for it. I'm so excited that I have this adjustable stand, whatsmore, it cost a fraction of what I paid for it in the 1980's. It makes working on my project that much easier and more relaxing. I recommend that everyone who works on needlepoint, crewel, bargello, etc. have this itme on hand, to simplify their lives.
