Yookeer Adjustable Embroidery Stand Hands Free Cross Stitch Scroll Frame Needlepoint Needlework Frame Stand Wooden Rotated Embroidery Hoop Holder for Arts Crafts Sewing Kit Supplies

The frame holds the canvas tightly and is very sturdy. I hold it in my lap to do the work since my table is too high for comfort.

Very good I used to do cross stitch

Very good quality. You have to assemble the frame, and the wood is unfinished, but if you take the time to put the enamel or finish that you desire,and then assemble it, you have an excellent embroidery frame.

I generally don't write reviews but I wanted to with this product. It came well packaged and was easy to put together between reading the directions and following the pictures. It only took about 10 minutes to put it together. All of the pieces are well sanded and no rough edges. It's larger than my floor stand embroidery stand and sits easily on my lap. Its width will accommodate the full width of my cloth instead of having a crease in it because I needed to fold one side. The measurements between the 2 holders is 18". I love that it's hands free and I can use both hands for my project. Once I figured out that the clamps that come with it only hold the edges of the cloth and not when it was rolled up, it was simple. You just need to make sure you have the edges even on the bars, then push the clamps on. You can roll up the extra cloth once the clamps are in place. My only concern is how long the clamps will last. They're a bit difficult getting on and off. I'm afraid of accidentally snapping one and not sure if you can order replacement clamps. My only con is, why did I wait so long to purchase one.

The frame is useful for my purposes: embroidering a piece that is larger in length, but not necessarily proportionately as wide, without having to waste a lot of extra fabric on the sides by using a round hoop. A smaller-sized round hoop would cause creases and would be impractical for the particular stitch being used to fill the figure in question (split stitch). I like being able to have both hands free with the use of the stand. It allows me to use one hand to lay the stitches as I pull the floss. The wood is substantial, not flimsy. It's also nice being able to tilt the frame at different angles while working. I do have two quibbles with the design of the item, though. The first being that the harware included to keep the rollers tight do loosen between sessions. I have to re-stretch the ground taut before resuming stitching, because the nuts loosen from the tension after a few hours. Not a big deal, and could probably be fixed by going to the hardware store to get new nuts and bolts that are better quality or some thread-lock to make the bolt threads grippier. Over time, if you're working on a very long-term project, I could see the hardware eventually stripping from repeated re-tightening, if you'll be working on it a little every day. The other issue is that the base of the stand that I received was made with a board that had warped. It bows slightly, and so if it is placed on a hard surface, it will not sit flat, it will rock. That's a much bigger problem, since the stand is supposed to hold the frame steady. It doesn't render it unusable, I just have to prop up one corner with a bit of cardboard. More a nuissance than anything. I won't complain too much at the price point at which I purchased it. But it would have been nice to have had one with a a base that hadn't been bowed. It's probably only an issue with some stands, if they've sat in warehouse storage a good while before moving. All in all, though, a useful tool and one I would still recommend getting if it fits the need.
