I love my system 4. It is extremely steady. The Lowery seems
quite tippy to me -- most people I know who use a Lowery
need to put a weight on the base to keep it from moving. I've
never had to do that with the System 4. I also like that it
is quite collapsible -- folds up easily and even goes in my suitcase.

Hi! I am new to this list. I recently started doing crewel
embroidery and have discovered it to be a "crewel addiction" :-). I
did a search and read some past posts on crewel embroidery - for now I
have been learning the ropes with some "vintage" Erica Wilson and Elsa
Williams kits which I got off of Ebay. Since I so love doing this,
and find it to be very relaxing and peaceful, I want to invest in the
right "tools". I have a bit of a windfall coming to me in the next
month or so, and in anticipation I am plotting my splurges :-).

I know the Lowery Workstation is quite popular amongst serious
stitchers, but I ran across the "Ultimate Needlework System 4" while
doing a search on the internet for needlework stands, and it seems to
me to have a few advantages over the Lowery. Here is the link, for
anyone who may be interested:

I did a search and someone else asked this question about 5 years ago,
and no one responded. I am hoping there will be a response this time.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
