Review of the Quantum, Millennium and Cleopatra's Needle Embroidery Frames

As an avid cross-stitcher I have coveted owning a no-stitch side stretcher frame for many years. Back in 2018 I finally bought my first one after finding the Cleopatra's Needle frame in a second hand shop. Shortly after this I was told about the Omanik Quantum frame and bought two direct from the factory in early 2019. In late in 2019 I bought a second hand Needle Needs Millennium frame.
This comparison video is my review of each of these three different makes of no-stitch side stretcher frames, based on my ownership and use of them.

Thanks for the review on the Omanik frame. I’ve never heard of them before. I’ll check out their website..

Needle Needs are now saying the lead time is 20 weeks for orders. The Millennium Frame is available from 10" through to 36" Scroll Bars, and there are 3 different sizes of stretcher bars. So I think the Millennium wins on variety of sizes.

As the Quantum has 11 sizes of scroll bars ranging from about 6" to 42" and 6 sizes of stretches bars, it beats the Millennium hands down for sizing variety. Ominak Factory are giving a lead time of 4 weeks presently.

Now Millennium frame has 9 sizes from 8"-36" and 5 sizes of strecher bars ; the shipping time also more reasonable, I knew 3 cases receiving their orders in 4 weeks, but the prices have gone higher.

Hi, nice video. I have both the Cleopatra's Needle and the Needle Needs Millennium and looking to buy the Omanik, when it’s back in stock

I definitely prefer the Ominak of the three. I hope you are able to get one soon.

Just got a second hand cleopstra frame. Trying to work out how to use it

I usually iron a fold along the top and bottom edge of the fabric as it makes it easier to slide the rods passed the fabric when you are fitting it for the first time. I usually Micropore tape along the top and bottom edge of the fabric as well as this helps prevent fraying as well as helps with grip. I find all of these types of frames a bit fiddly to get set up but they are a dream to sew on. with 😊

I ordered the millenium frame and stand in February of 2020 and it is now January 2021 and I'm still waiting for them. Just curious, what stand do you use with your frames?

I have a StitchMaster wooden floor stand which is similar to the Millennium stand, and works in the same way. I actually found it second hand on ebay, and it cost me about £20 including postage.

Can someone tell me if the Millennium side bars will fit the Quantum top bars? I have 2 Millennium frames and need wider bars but would like to save a few $ if I can and not wait 6 months for the top bars. Thank you.

Not as they come from the factory as the ends are marginally too large to slot in. They could be adjusted to fit as the difference is very small.
