Thank you so much for the demonstration. I’ve never used scroll rods and loved watching you baste the linen on the scroll tape. Happy stitching!

@SunshineStitchers 5 ай бұрын

RolaFrame uses pins in the rods to hold the fabric. Those rods hold the fabric very securely as well. The construction is not as solid.

How timely! I just assembled my Hearthside floorstand yesterday and am thoroughly enjoying stitching on it today while watching your flosstube. I have gone through so many floorstands through the years - they have been finally been donated to Goodwill. The Hearthside stand is a game changer and if anyone is undecided I would say go for it. Thank you Shelia and EJ for sharing your love of cross stitch with us every week.

Now, you are selling me on the floor stand, too. I have Lawry, Rolaframe, and the metal one (can't remember the name). I also have a large American Products wooden frame (as well as a ton of scroll rods) in the garage that I am seriously considering getting out to put back into service. I probably should do that before further investing.

Thank you very much for taking the time to show us all these essential details, including the basting of the fabric. This is valuable information for all of us considering a significant purchase. So many times, we can buy things (stitching-related or otherwise) that we really have no idea of the set-up details or the best way to use a product. This video is much appreciated!! 😊

Thank you both for putting this out. I have had both lap stand and floor stand for 5 years now (purchased from the original Calgary based home business) and have really appreciated the design, craftsmanship, and sturdiness. Additional pieces/parts purchased from Evernote have worked seamlessly.

Thanks so much for this episode! I've been wanting a new lap/desk/bed stand for awhile. I've had two other floor stands that only hold work on one side. One eventually gave way (although it was beautifully made), and the other I felt was a hazard to very young grandkids so gave it away. Looks like the holders EJ uses for her Q-snaps would also work for needlepoint stretcher bars, which would be plus for me. Thanks, ladies!

Yes, the adapters will work for stretcher bars as well as other scroll frames.

I like the look of this stand. The quality and finish of the wood. It's the first stand I've seen where you can purchase the 'grip' for q snaps. Do they do the same for Nurge frames I wonder? I've always wondered how to attach fabric so thank you Sheila😃. I much prefer to see and feel wood rather than metal. Thanks ladies. See you next time. Stay safe🤗🇬🇧

@SunshineStitchers 5 ай бұрын

It should work for a Nurge given that you can fit the top of the frame into the adapter. We will try it out.

@OfftheGridNeedlearts 5 ай бұрын

Shelia@@SunshineStitchers - this is a question I am often asked that I don't know the answer to because I don't use Nurge frames - could you let me know your result? I thought maybe if the pieces in the qsnap bracket were reversed under the knob, thereby reducing the size it might work but would love confirmation

@cyndielynn 3 ай бұрын

@@SunshineStitchers I was also concerned about it fitting over my hips as well. I like you am a big girl with a 200lb + weight. If you use the 20 inch extension bar for the q-snap it will actually be more than 20 inches because the stand is outside of the extension frame space. Correct. Had considered ordering 22 inch, but think the 20 may be okay.

@heidisnow 5 ай бұрын

I saw your calico limp by. What happened to her? After watching you baste the fabric to the rod, I totally understand why you ordered multiple scroll rods. And, how funny that you posted this video today as I just discovered Hearthside yesterday. Perfect timing.

She was born with a nerve-damaged front leg. It was amputated when I adopted her. Trust me, she is fast when she runs. There are only some things that it hampers, like burrowing under a rug.

Loved it from start to finish. I have something very similar, different company and love it for scroll frames. I have a floor stand also and use it constantly for the larger projects. My rods are Velcro. Do they also have rods to use with Velcro instead of the basting???

@SunshineStitchers 5 ай бұрын

No, the system uses the basting method. I was a little put off, given that I have used the method previously, but in retrospect have found that it truly holds the fabric securely.

One question about the q-snap adapter that EJ uses…can they also be used with a hoop? I have a K’s Creation lap stand, and find the q-snap clamps to be very bulky & cumbersome- - - I have been wondering if the Hearthside lap stand would be better. Thank you!

same question here as with the Nurge@@SunshineStitchers - our only hoops here that we had to try, were too thin for the adapters and we have until now NOT recommended them for hoops, so I'd love to know if you have a different experience

I am fairly certain that the American Dream rods fit, though I have never personally used them. You should be able to use most screw style rods as long as they have their own ends - likely won't work with our knobs unless they have exact same size screw

you can use other rods as long as they have their own ends - our knobs are made for our screw size so I can't guarantee those will fit other rods. And this comes with the caveat the it is anecdotal customer information and not tested by me as I don't have other rods 😊
