Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi, I use Q snaps and a floor frame. I have the Lowery with side and corner clamp.
I was an one hand stitcher, but since the lowery I stitch 2 hands.
The combination Q snaps and Lowery are great

Thank you very very much for your photo, it shows how it's been used.
my q snaps are 17x8 or 17x11. My main issue was the grip . But I can see it fits. Thank you again

I also like to know if they work with Q snaps? How are they attatched?

I have an unstable (new bought) lowery. ik have 10 very heavy books on he base and also the extended L bar. even when i only pull my thread through my fabric the whole thing is shaking and wobbling. all of the screws are very tight. please let me know how wobbly it may be. maybe i am doing something...

You are right, Fizz. I don't think that I have really given the Lowery enough of a chance. So I have bought some diver's weights (2.5 kilos of lead) and had a fiddle with the way I have the whole thing set up, and we'll see if that helps enough. I can buy more lead if needed, and maybe even melt it...

Thought I reply to this old topic because I think it's hilarious! Imagine that you sit on the sofa with your legs through it and you must go to the toilet of something or the phone rings. I see myself lying on the floor forgetting that I was strangled in this thing :D But seriously I think the table...

thank you i will look around and try some things I let you know how I am doing

Thank you Allyn, I am going to buy a lapstand because I only have a big couch and that is not soutable for a floorstand.

Hello, I just bought a Millenium frame but I was wondering... do you keep the frame in your hand and stitch with the other hand? or is a stand necessary? I ask you this because I am a hold in hand stitcher and never haved worked in a frame/hoop or something.

Just recieved in my mailbox: Dimensions gold collection M'Lady's Chateau
It was a expensive one, but I did buy it anyway

Hello and welcome from me! I live in the Netherlands and joined last week

I let it framed by a shop that is specialised in framing cross stitch. I buy a mounting board and frame at that shop and they frame it perfectly. The price depends on wich frame and mounting board you choose but its prob. 75-100 dollar (piece 40x45 cm)

My name is also not very interesting. It is the part of my name (Monica) and the age that I want to stay (I am actually past 39) The age 40 don't suit me very well hahaha

My favorite designs are the ones from Dimensions. The most are christmas/winter scenes. I have 12 unopend kits from the gold collection waiting to start. For now I am working on a christmas stocking, also from dimensions. I am a 'hold in hands" stitcher. I don't use a hoop, frame or something e...

Yes, the tutorial for the stocking is amazing and easy to follow

I stick my needle in the couch I am sitting on.
I ones lost one (I didn't remember where I've put it) and didn't dare to sit down, was affraid to sid right on the needle But the magnets is a great idea

thank you very much, now it can't fail I think

I never wash a finished piece because I never get the rinckles out and I think the stitches are flattened when I do. Never had any colours to mingle or stained or whatever.

Hello, My name is Monica and I am new to this board. Not new to cross stitch though. I came here because I was looking on internet to find an easier way to finishing my stocking (Dimensions). The google results brought me here and I was amazed. I never saw this board! I registred right a way. I do c...
