Question
hi, i'm stitching a very large project 26inch by 12inch. i'm having trouble as the 26inch is the width of the project and i'm using a small qsnap frame and its hurting my hands while i hold the frame and because of the large width, there's alot of excess material making it very difficult to stitch. I've looked into a seat stand frame and a roller frame but it didn't hold the frame very well and with the roller one i had to stitch the project sideways. It's put my off stitching the project as i find it awkward and fiddly. I think a floor stand might be the way to go but not sure? There's so many about.

Please help

Hello, Claire

If you enjoy using the Q-Snap frame, I would suggest purchasing the larger one.  They come in various sizes.  Here is a source on where you can purchase them.  I highly recommend these people as they are very fast in their shipping.  If I understand it correctly, you're in the UK, and you may not receive it as quickly as those who are in the US would.

If those don't work, then you may need to purchase a larger scroll type floor stand that will work for you.

I hope that helps.  Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)
