Is anyone using the Needlework System 4 stand? Any comments, likes, dislikes? My old Grip-it stand needs replaced, and I'm leaning toward the Needlework System 4. Unfortunately I don't live anywhere near an LNS where I could try it. In fact, I'm not sure I can find one in Australia, may have to order it from the US.

I plan to continue using my existing scroll frames, American Dream Product, and it looks like they should be compatible. Can anyone confirm that? Thanks!

I love my system 4. Fortunately for me I was able to borrow a System 4 and a Lowery stand from a friend to compare them. I decided on the System 4 because of where I stitch. It worked with my sofa.

The only drawback to this stand can be that the bar on the bottom is about 1 inch high. Didn't matter for me. For some, the flat plate of the lowery works better for sliding under certain seats.

Both are wonderful and will give you years of pleasure.

I loved my GripIt, too!

Oops. Forgot to mention frames, etc. I've used scroll frames, stretcher bars both regular and Evertites, and even Q-snaps with my System 4. Depending on yhe project I can stitch the stand either in front of me or to the side.
