Floor Stand
I have a friend who is looking for a floor stand. We love mine, but
no one seems to know what make/model it is; even the ladies at my LNS were stumped. So I have two questions: 1) can anyone identify this? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...&id=1044404255 and 2) if not, what floor stand(s) do you recommend? It should be sturdy and pretty easy to use/adjust I think. TIA! Lyn |

TIA! Lyn Huh. You've got me stumped. How long have you had this stand? I've been doing my research for the past year on floor stands and have narrowed my choices down to two. The Needlework System 4 and the Lowery. Both are wonderful. I was fortunate enough to be able to borrow both stands and compare them side by side. They are very even in my standings and it is only the personal circumstances of where I do most of my stitching that has led to me choose a System 4 which I will be ordering very soon.

Donna in Virginia I've only had it a very little while, but it was handed down by my mum, who can't remember when exactly she bought it; at least 5 years ago but as long as 15 is possible. Helpful, no? LOL. I will see what I can find on those two and pass the info on, thanks for your help! A |

(After Santa Claus bought it for me, he stained and varnished it - it comes as finely sanded hardwood - so that it looks like a piece of furniture and therefore can be used in the living room without looking like "tools").

I am thinking about buying one off of ebay next week- looks pretty sturdy they also have one that the legs are extra wide to accomodate armchairs (wheelchairs too I think which is good for my mom). |

I am thinking about buying one off of ebay next week- looks pretty sturdy they also have one that the legs are extra wide to accomodate armchairs (wheelchairs too I think which is good for my mom). The first one of these was built to accommodate someone in a wheel chair. It's very sturdy and can expand to whatever width you need. It has many other great features that I like including the spring loaded hinge points that allows you to flip your work to the backside without having to unscrew anything. A bit pricy but nicely finished it makes a nice piece of furniture. http://www.hearthsidecraftworks.com/...d=4&Ite mid=4 Mavia |
