Lap stand for Q snaps or hoops?
Does anyone know of any lap stand (not floor stands) that can hold
something like a Q snap? I already have a lap stand with stretcher bars, but I sometimes like to do smaller pieces which I put in Q snaps or hoops. Since I cannot always hold the smaller items, I thought to get a lap stand to hold it for me. I have a small apartment, so I don't have the floor space for a full length floor stand. I'm hoping to do some looking and then put in on my Christmas list for this year! Thanks. Katherine H |

I've used an Elan lapstand - made by Artisan - for 10+ years. Always with my
Qsnaps, from the 6" size right up to the full 17x17" set. It's a life saver ! Fully collapsable for easy portability. And mine doesn't show a bit of wear and tear on it, and it's been moved from house to house to house over all those years - even daily from my house to my office for the past 3 years. I love it so much I'm perpetually on the lookout for a second one. Maybe Santa will be nice to me this year Good luck in your search ! Shannon L. "Katherine Hutter" wrote in message ...

I'm hoping to do some looking and then put in on my Christmas list for this year! Sure. I use a K's baby Z as a lap/table stand with my Q snaps. Any of the K's will work, as long as you get them with the clamp. Same clamp will also hold stretch bars. If it's for smaller pieces, the Baby Z is really nice, and only clamps from the side. Their traditional lap stand has an expando base. I do pieces in 11" Q-snaps on the Baby Z. I've actually had 14" stretcher sets in it just fine - but if I were doing bigger pieces all the time I'd get the full size Z frame. Anyhow, I use the Baby Z, in my lap - sitting cross-legged on the sofa all the time. http://www.kscreations.com/lapframes.htm I don't like the Petite as well as the Z frame and Adjustable Base classics. We sell alot of them in the shop - they're well made. I also have a Stowaway Floor Stand -which I just fold up and slide to the side/behind when I'm not using it if it needs to be quickly put away, or just out of the way. However, I'm looking forward to getting one of her metal stands - they're really nice. good luck, whatever you choose, ellice |

I agree - love the Elan from artisan. I ONLY use q-snaps and it holds
them well - even big frame sizes. The stand works well as a table top model too. Mary SEL" wrote in message m... I've used an Elan lapstand - made by Artisan - for 10+ years.
