Floor Stand

Huh. You've got me stumped. How long have you had this stand?

I've been doing my research for the past year on floor stands and have narrowed my choices down to two.

The Needlework System 4 and the Lowery.

Both are wonderful.

I was fortunate enough to be able to borrow both stands and compare them side by side.

They are very even in my standings and it is only the personal circumstances of where I do most of my stitching that has led to me choose a System 4 which I will be ordering very soon.

I've only had it a very little while, but it was handed down by my mum, who can't remember when exactly she bought it; at least 5 years ago but as long as 15 is possible. Helpful, no? LOL.

I will see what I can find on those two and pass the info on, thanks for your help!

I am very satisfied with my Gripit floor stand. (After Santa Claus bought it for me, he stained and varnished it - it comes as finely sanded hardwood - so that it looks like a piece of furniture and therefore can be used in the living room without looking like "tools").

It appears that Grip-it may be a thing of the past? I can't find a website for them at all.... :( can you link me?

this?

The Stitchery says it is out of stock but coming soon

However, Stitchers Paradise says they can no longer supply it, but refer you to a very similar product.

I love my K's Creation floor stand. I hve bought both of my Dils the the K's tag-a-long and they love them. It is perfect for small areas if you are in an apartment. I also love my lap stand. My best friend has the metal K's stand. They will ship directly to you if your LNS does not carry them.

floor stand. =A0We love mine, but

I am thinking about buying one off of ebay next week- looks pretty sturdy they also have one that the legs are extra wide to accomodate armchairs (wheelchairs too I think which is good for my mom).

The first one of these was built to accommodate someone in a wheel chair. It's very sturdy and can expand to whatever width you need. It has many other great features that I like including the spring loaded hinge points that allows you to flip your work to the backside without having to unscrew anything. A bit pricy but nicely finished it makes a nice piece of furniture.

I do believe the Gripit is a thing of the past. I need a replacement piece for mine and I think I'm out of luck on that. The last time there was an update on their website was 2008 and all the links on the one page I can find are broken.

Only took me twelve years to discover the weak point in the design of my stand. I guess it had a good run.

You might want to take a look at the floor stands

IIRC I'm one of a few North American companies left that still makes quality floor stands for needlework. Last time I looked there were only two companies left in Canada (Stitch Away being one) and two companies in the United States manufacturing quality frames for holding fabric for needlework. Some of our quality frames are less expensive than a large Pizza with three toppings and customers still complain about price -go figure! LOLFred nothing changes, nothing changes.Don't back stitch to email, just stitchit.
