Thanks for your very detailed review of both frames. I had often wondered what the difference was between these frames. I’m in the UK and last year I ordered a Millennium frame with extra rods. I then added another pair of stretcher bars to my order before it was made. I placed my order in May and received it in August; so a wait time of just three months. Then at the end of November I ordered two further sets of scroll rods and I received those early in January; so a wait time of only a month. Communication was great throughout both purchases.

Hallo! I have just recived my first Omanik quantum frame! I am soooo happy, I am going to try it today. It looks allright. I live in Belgium 🇧🇪, and it took exactly 7 weeks to get here from Estonia. Well packed, and with a little chocolate, how kind 😋. I really liked your video 👍

Thank you so much for the detailed review. I've been considering both frames and hadn't come to a conclusion as to which one I wanted to test out. Your experiences with both companies has been very informative and helpful. Thank you!

Fantastic information, still applicable today as far as function (assuming there have been no design changes). Thank you! 🦄💕

Great video Very informative. Thank you!

Very helpful! Thank you.

Thanks for the overview, it was very informative. I do love the millennium best I think, but that wait time...OMG!

Thank you for that wonderful comparison not just of the frames but of the buying/delivery. I have been tossing around which one to get and think I will go for the quantum. I believe there is a month wait for it now.

Thank you very much for your review. I ordered my first Millenium frame last October, and they weren't delivered until April, so, a 6 month wait. However, their customer service from that point on was superb. One of my rods was damaged in transit, and they immediately shipped a complete new set (2 new rods) which arrived within 10 days. I will say that they are the best stretcher bars I have ever used, and the wood they use is so sturdy and beautiful. I just ordered my second set of bars, and I'm ready to wait 4 months or so. But! Now that I've seen your video, I'm going to order a set of Quantum frames to see how they are. The shipping time seems too good to be true!! Thanks again for the great video. :)

Thank you for doing this video, it has been very helpful.

Thank you for your review. I've wanted a millenium for a long time but the cost and mainly the stories I've heard about the wait time and their customer service have put me off. Once I saw the videos about the quantum I was very interested in those. Your video gives me another look at the 2 frames and has gone a long way to helping me make up my mind. :)

Thank you for your review. It was very useful. From my research I think the Millennium frame is a better made product - just to have the side bars in all-wood and one piece appeals to me. The Millennium is also grow-able if you want to purchase a lap stand or a floor stand at a later time.

Thank you for this. I've been trying to figure out which way I want to go between these two frames. I think I'm probably going to get the omanik.

Thank you, this was most helpful.

It took almost 2 years to get my millennium frame in the US. It’s really a work of art. I’m bummed I didn’t get a couple sizes of bars.

great video! thanks so much. I love the looks of the millinium but if its going to take 6-9 months I should order now so I'll have it to start my HAEDs at the beginning of next year.

I think they have fixed the packaging problems. The box I received mine in was the perfect size and everything was well protected inside. Since it looks like the tension is just as good on the Omanik frame, I think I'll cancel my order at Needle Needs. I've already been waiting for three months. I love my Quantum frames. Thanks so much for posting this! @stitchymom

Hi Jean from Toronto great video lots of good info welcome to floss tube

Thank you taking the time to review these. I have wanted the Millenium frame since I heard about them a couple years ago but the cost and wait hindered me. Someone just told me about the Quantum frame so I've been watching KZfaq videos on them. I think I will save up for the Quantum ones. I have a cheap wing nut frame right now and it will have to do. What type of stand do you use?

Very good and complete comparison, thank you. I'm not in the market for a frame but I know I'd order the quantum frame if ever I was in the market. What kind of stand do you use?

An interesting video - and subtitled so I can actually use it (I'm deaf). I've had both Millenium and Omanik and back in the past, the original frame with this structure, The Cleopatra's Needle Freedom Frame (no longer available, sadly). The Omanik wins hands down I'm afraid, both for customer service and for quality. I had issues with my MIllenium Frame, such that it was consigned to the tip several years ago, but I've had my Omanik Quantum frames for almost 5 years now with no problems at all - I think the timber used is better quality and doesn't split or warp. The best of all was the Freedom Frame so if you ever see one on Ebay, snap it up!!

Thank you

Hi Ingeborg, thanks for this explanation of the two frames, just what I was looking for. Could you tell me how you hold the frame when stitching, is it held in a stand or do you rest it against the edge of the table ? Many thanks x

I've watched your most recent videos but now going to binge watch from the very first one. I love how you chose your Floss Tube channel name. I did see the movie, A Bridge Too Far. If you're Dutch how did you come by a Scandinavian name? I don't find your name difficult to pronounce, BTW. My question with the frames comparison is what are the pros and cons of each. If you were to order another, which would you choose? I could listen to you speak all day!

Thank you for the comparison. I went with Needle Needs. And now I wait...

Hey, thanks for commenting on my new frame video. I have a question for you, how will it work to fold pieces that are too wide? If I fold a few inches on the sides and then stitch in the middle will my fabric be ruined and warped?

Just to update everyone - I ordered from Needle Needs on Feb 1, 2017, and it is now 7 months later, and I have not received my frame. I did email them a couple of months ago, and I received a nice answer from John, so I decided to wait. I sent another email of inquiry last week and have not gotten an answer. Anyway......Thanks for your factual video - lots of information!

Hi.. I do tapestry/cross stitch work but I was doing it on the common roller frame. Could you tell how this differs from those type? I only heard of it when I was about to order my Lowrey stand and these words "millenium" and I can't find any information of these two comparisons. If you can, pls could you let me know... thank you & look forward to your reply!

Thank you for this video. I tried to send an email to the Omanik company per their website, but the email came back to me undeliverable. I checked and I had entered the address correctly. I live in the US. Do I need to call to ask questions? Wondering if their email has changed and the website isn't updated. I hope they are still in business! What size frames do you have currently? I have a very large project I want to do so I think I may need the 90cm rods for the Heaven and Earth Design I want to do. I also want one that will work with most other projects. What do you suggest?

Ik heb mijn standaard en Millenium frame nu alweer 4 jaar en ben er erg tevreden over. Ik heb zelf 'maar' 2,5 maanden hoeven wachten (terwijl ze 'op voorraad' zouden zijn). Ik weet zo uit mijn hoofd niet welke formaten ik heb, maar ik had één frame besteld, kreeg er 12" bars bij en had nog een extra set besteld. Ik zit er wel over te denken om weer een extra frame te bestellen, maar dan in andere formaten. Helaas zie ik er erg tegenaan om weer lang te moeten wachten en voor zover ik begrijp zijn de wachttijden bij hen nóg langer geworden. Voor zover ik begrijp zijn de Omanik artikelen niet samen te gebruiken met het Millenium frame, wat ik wel erg jammer vind, anders zou ik daar zo een set bestellen i.p.v. bij Needle Needs.

How much do the weigh? Do the frames differ significantly in how much they weigh when using?

My wife's millennium frame took 14 months from order to delivery in USA (August, 2016 to October 2017), and communication was similarly poor as others reported. She loves it, but...

Do the side stretchers from the millennium frame fit the quantum rods?

Mooie vergelijking maar ik blijf nog steeds een ring meisje :)

It's unfortunate.....because I hit the PURCHASE button, and then when I found out all this information on wait times, poor tracking and lack of customer service, I canceled my order. Went with OLMANIK instead.
