My husband is going to be so excited to have to cut up the pieces for me. LOL Thanks for sharing this.

I made 2 of your lap stands when you first showed your tutorial. I use it all the time now, best ever. Thank you so much, Bonnie

Super video, Pam. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten us as to how your frame works.

Thank you so much for the tutorial Pam I was interested in these but never knew how they worked, this looks much better than holding qsnaps. Love your wee dog in the background.Happy stitching xx

Nice video, Pam! :) Thank you xx

I just made one and I love it - fantastic - allows for two handed stitching and much cheaper than replacing the wood stand I can't find with another retail one. Yay! Thank you so much! TFS

Hi Pam Great review of the PVC lap stand, thanks for sharing it with us all and I am sure many stitchers will go ahead and make one.HugsAmanda from UKxxx

Pam, Good easy assembly... Removing the PVC pipe lettering is easy, use a small piece of cloth and clear PVC primer... Slightly dampen the cloth with the clear primer and rub on the pipe lettering and it vanishes...

I agree with +the evergreen needle . It seems like a no brainer, but I was wondering about the whole lap situation, too. This was super helpful, I am totally going to make one now.

Excellent video Pam. Now I want one!

Excellent! I've been wanting to make a stand like this - this is perfect - Thanks so much for doing this video.

I made one with the pvc corner joiners but with wooden rods for the sides and base as my Bunnings store didn't have the pvc piping in the size I needed. Works great. Thank you so much so showing us how to make this wonderful stand. I sit in a chair with it on my lap and I have a light pad across the base as my work piece is black and the light helps to see where I am stitching. Again thank you.

This is an awesome video Pam! Thanks! I want to run and make some!!

you can make some hot glue dots, to put on the buttom so it wont slide around on you while you have it on the table, sliddy areas

luv this it was a great help. i luv all of your videos.

I indulged myself and got the lap stand parts cut and assembled the lap frame. Whoopee! Anyway it dawned on me the grime guard was part of your pictures. After viewing the film a few times I finally caught the comment of cutting a slit in the grime guard to slip the pvc thru. Thanks much for the video. I did pass on your site on making the lap stand to my stitching friends.

Love my pvc lap stand. It is all I use. Thanks for your tutorial video!

Thanks Pam!

This answered my question thank you for this explanation.

Thanks for this! I've been having shoulder issues and wondering if it's caused by my stitching. Guess who is sending her hubby to Home Depot this weekend?!?!?

Thank you for the great tutorials you give lots of information

Brilliant, thanks.

thats fantastic!!!

I'm so glad you made this video! I have been curious mostly about how it actually works as you use it; I can never tell if some lap stands sit on or under the legs because I've never seen one in action. This makes me want to try it now as my floor stand isn't doing as good a job at holding my qsnaps for some reason. Thanks Pam!

Thank you for this. I was also curious how it was working. I'm thinking of making my own - I've got a 17x17" one, but find that a little large for some projects and would love to get an 8x8, but it seems more sensible to make one rather than buy another. Specially when you can just get the clamps at Michaels. Will definitely take your suggestion to take the clamps in. ;)

For the clamps, I wonder if the store can cut another PVC length-wise down the center to make clamps? The 'PVC clamps' would have to be bigger in diameter than the frame-PVC pieces to accommodate both the frame and fabric. Hmm...

Great idea about traveling wit it.

Suh-weet lap stand, thanks for showing it off!

So you use your lap stand on a table top? I do love how you put this together!

Thanks for going over it again with some extra tips. I use mine all the time and love it. The only thing is mine seems loose and the stand parts come apart. Any hints on that? Yours seems tighter and I know yours isn't glued and I don't want to glue mine.

Great video. I must be the only one that can not figure out how to remove q snap clamp from the frame as the fitting keeps it from sliding off.

do you have the measurements for the gaurde?

Just curious why didn't you use cut felt pieces on your fabric prior to putting on the clamp? I find this process protects my fabric. Really like your diy for the pls lap stand. Thank you.

I`m watching both your videos about this lapstand, but I just wonder, it would be possible to use it for needlepoint? Where I live it is almost impossible to find a needlepoint one.

Great tutorial thank you. Do you have a pattern or tutorial for the grime guard?

Do you keep your project in the Q-snap until it is finished? Would that be ok to do?

Can you use this with beaded cross stitch also? Would the q snap damage the beads?

Can you make q snap clamps?

I made this stand last summer thanks to your video's GREAT instructions. I just made a video today thanking you. Just started making videos a few months ago. Hope you check it out and thanks again!!!
