Floor stand with hoop

[Basil]

Hi folks,

I have been using this http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/D530 ... 53035.aspx" target="_blank" target="_blank floor stand for the past few months with a scroll frame and it has been brilliant. I have just started a new project using a hoop and find that the hoop lifts off the stand when i bring the thread through from the back (i'm assuming it's due to its weight).

Wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and any ideas how to solve this. I'll probably get a new scroll frame to use eventually, but in the meantime i would love to get stuck into stitching this new piece but its a nightmare having to hold the hoop with one hand while doing all the stitching with the other.

Thanks

mmhh it depend how tick the hoop frame is but maybe you can secure it with a couple of big hair clip? something like this:


just thinking out loud.. I have a Stitchmaster myself but never had those trobles, the only time I used it with a hoop I had a heavy piece of fabric in it so it held it down..

I learned from the other members of this forum that there are no limits to what a big hair clip can do
