Hello and welcome to the forum.

As Lowery stands are the stands that hold a frame you can use whatever size of frame you like to hold any size of project, although I have found larger projects, that is projects over 22 inches (plus extra fabric at the sides) can be a little unstable, so I prop mine up with a cushion at the opposite end to the clamp.

If you stitch on a roller frame I would suggest you go for a side clamp, if you stitch with a hoop, you would need a corner clamp.

Hope this helps.

What kind of projects do you like to stitch?

I've used the side clamp with both frames and hoops - the smallest a 5" hoop (anything smaller is difficult)
