Q-Snap sit-on or lap frame suggestions needed
Hello group,
I've been lurking here for a long time and contributed hardly anything so feel guilty for asking a question, but here goes. Hope it hasn't been covered recently. I use the Q-snap frames almost exclusively for cross-stitch projects and have always hand-held them. Sometimes I prop them up against the bracket of a floor stand I have (the Q-snap frame always slips out of the bracket on the floor frame.) I've seen some web sites that show various floor frames that claim to hold the Q-snaps, but I'd really like to have a "sit-on" type frame to use with these. I would need one that is adjustable in height between the "sit-on" part and the frame itself as I am quite large in the leg and I think I'd need extra space there to work comfortably. A lap frame may be the thing as long as it's not too high --- because I'm short. It would nice if it were adjustable in height. Have any of you used that embroidery hoop table/lap stand I see in the catalogs? What do you think of them? Do you think they would work from your lap? I sure would appreciate any suggestions and web site pointers you have. Thanks, Kathy |

Don't have a bit of trouble with my QSnaps in the Deluxe's clamping device. They also have a sit-on model. Darla Sacred cows make great hamburgers.

I too use the Grip-it-plus sit on it. It has an upgrade, not sure what it's
called, that has a rotating bar with adjustable clamps on both ends to hold the corners of the Q-snaps. I also now use their grip it quick scroll frames, which I really love. They use Q-snap clamps on a 3/4 " scroll bar with rubbermaid shelf liner strip on both sides of the fabric. Never once have they slipped off! HTH Julie In Hondo "Darla" wrote in message ...

Thanks Darla, I went to their website, and then found it at Joann's website with a 40% off coupon. So I ordered it. I appreciate your response!
