Who makes this stitching frame ?

I saw this stitching frame on TW's Blog:

Does any one know who makes this frame? If not I am thinking about making one for myself :wink:

No idea, but I would guess the photo was taken some time ago. It's too good to be a Sierra Frames, but it looks very like Needle Needs.

It does look like an early Needleneeds item.

This is their latest floor stand

:shock: It looks like they are no longer making the Aristo frame!! I love mine :wub:

I heard that too, that they don't make the Aristo anymore - I'm glad I've got mine, I really wouldn't be able to do the Certificate without it!
And yes, the stand is their latest floor stand. I was given a sneak preview of it some years ago, when we were picking up the Aristo. The workmanship, as always, is beautiful. It's a shame their communication is so bad :-(

I noticed that both of those use pins to support the separate frame, on all of my frame mounts the frame is on a pivot: Which is better?


I have been having a look at my stocks of materials. I probably have enough teak to make another :roll: frame stand but I have just finished dismantling a garden gazebo frame and have some rather useful looking plastic coated steel sections which if made up into (another) frame stand would be lighter than the wood alternative.
