Floor Stand Help

New to this newsgroup and in need of a new floor stand. Can everyone please tell me what floor stand you use, what the advantages/disadvantages are, which stand you wish you had instead. I use Q Snaps a lot, so any stand I get will have to have some way of using them. Your reply's are anxiously awaited. Thank you.

I use a Gazelle but I don't use it with Q-snaps. I usually use
Q-snaps for smaller projects and hold them in hand.

Fran, I was thinking about that one. How does it work with Q Snaps? I don't recall what the name of the one I have now is, I bought it so long ago, but I've noticed over the past year that the screws aren't holding it together very erll anymore. I do a lot of stitching not by choice, but it takes my mind off of the pain of having 6 herniated disc, and gives me something to concentrate on besides the pain. A good stand is a must, and having one that has an attachment to hold the pattern would be very handy. Thank you for your reply.

I decided on the Ergo. Due to severe back issues there are many times I would just like to just recline and stitch, which with my current stand is not possible. Ordering it today so hopefully it will get here soon. Thanks to all who responded and especially to Fran for pointing me to the sight.

I don't remember if I tried Qsnaps with it or not, as I haven't used
them in years - I prefer a good hoop.I know I've used scroll bars w/o
too much of an issue. If the Qsnaps move around, get a strip of that
bubble-like stuff they put under carpets and wrap that around the
Qsnap bar - I've had success with that with my old giraffe stand.
