Review: Just what I needed for Counted Cross Stitch - I am a beginner at the more detailed counted cross stitch (think of patterns from Mystic Stitch). I needed a hands free frame and one big enough to hold larger pieces of fabric. The assembly is easy and so is taking it apart for travel. Rolling the fabric on the scrolls was not hard at all. I did notice that I am periodically tightening the side knobs because of my constant flipping of the frame. I love the height settings, the top one being best for when I am stitching in bed/couch and the lowest one when I am on a table top. Because the frame is so light, it tends to slip around on glass surfaces. To add weight, I used 1 lb ankle weights on each leg to keep a firm stance.
Review: Almost complete garbage until I rigged it - UPDATE: IT BROKE! Bought this on the 17th and today is the 28th and its already broken. Complete garbage product. Will attach pic of broken piece. So I am an avid cross stitcher and have started having hand pain while holding a hoop. I'm not very fond of qsnaps so I decided to try a scroll frame. This one is super cheap and has fair reviews so I decided to get it until I can afford a more expensive stand and frame. I of course have the same issue most people are having with keeping the middle of my fabric taught enough so I decided rig this as well as I can. I drove a line of thumb tacks into the top rail in the spaces of my aida fabric, about an inch apart. I will be getting some that dont rust soon but chose to use what I had on hand currently. After that I rolled the rest of the fabric around the bottom rail and get it as tight as I could. The bolts on the side dont tighten well and just start to spin when they get to a certain point so I held them with pliers while tightening the wing nuts. I was able to get the middle fairly tight but was still having some issues widthwise with tension. I decided to double up some sewing thread and "lace" the edges so to speak to get tension on the sides. This is working so far. Its a pain in the butt to do and of course I cant change projects in the frame easily but its working so far. Ive attached pictures so you can see what I've done. I guess for $23 I cant really complain about it being crappy. Will definitely be throwing this out once I get a better stand and frame combo

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have this frame but I can't figure out how to get my fabric to stay tight.**
A: Try using twill tape. Staple one side of twill to the wooden frame. Then, sew the fabric along the "V" of the tape to hold the fabric in place.

**Q: How tall is in inches?**
A: The stand is 14 inches from the bottom. However, it is adjustable and the actual scroll can be adjusted down an inch, 3 inches and 5 inches. Hope that helps.

**Q: Has anyone tried this with Edmunds' Handi Clamp product?**
A: Yes, and I love it. No leaning forward. it brings your work to you. The material stays in place. I couldn't cross stitch without it.

**Q: How tall is this stand off the ground?**
A: This stand does not sit on the ground.  As the package says... its a "table" and "lap" stand.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Decline in quality
*by A***R on December 29, 2021*

I purchased the same product about five years ago and loved it so I decided to buy another one for a second project. It seems that the company has started using a cheaper, less sturdy wood. Although it gets the job done and is easy to use, some of the frame pieces came warped and it developed a crack within the first week. From a price-versus-quality perspective, I probably will not buy a frame from this company again.
