Great for cross stitch projects

This frame is great. Im doing a big counted cross stitch of sharks for my grandson. This frame works well. The knobs tend to come off occasionally but its not a big problem

Quality lap frame

This is a good quality lap frame. I have used it for several big projects. The only downside, and why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that the screws in the knobs wear down the wooden knobs and they get loose. I have replaced the knobs a couple times. However, the last time I bought replacement knobs they were made a little differently. The threaded metal part in the knob was designed better and they don't strip out so easily now. Maybe they have fixed the problem and it won't be an issue anymore. Otherwise, it is a nice lap frame. I spent a few hundred hours using it and it looks new. It is a quality item.

Just did not like this. Too big for me. Wasn't sure how to use. I think it would be really great for someone who knows how to use this.

Nice Needlework Frame

I really enjoy using this needlework lap frame with my larger projects, especially those with stiffer material.

Solid frame, minor improvements needed

This is a really solid frame for cross-stitch or embroidery. There is room for improvement, however, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Several of the knobs that attach the pieces together aren't threaded straight so they go on at an angle and therefore don't hold the frame together as tight as I would like it. I use American Dream frames otherwise and haven't had this problem before so hope it is a one-off; I was able to swap the other scroll rods out with no problem and am using this as a 36" table frame now. The attachment knobs, dowels as scroll rods, and frame pieces are all different colors which don't affect the functionality, just the appearance. The frame pieces are very solid and well constructed. As always, the velcro attachment system with the American Dream products applies easily and permanently to your projects. My biggest gripe with this frame is I have to keep a screwdriver with it so I can tighten the frame in place at an angle I like it, otherwise, it keeps flopping around and making it really fiddly to work with. Trying to tighten it by hand doesn't help, as the screw just turns endlessly, so you have to be able to hold it in place. Eventually it does work loose, even with minimal fuss -- I stitch with my right hand below the fabric and my left above, so I don't knock the frame a lot and I stitch on a table, so it doesn't get moved often either -- and I still need to retighten again at the angle I like several times during a stitching session. I wish there was a nut or something I could hold that would make it so I didn't have to keep a screwdriver in my stitching kit or that the screws would hold better in the knobs...or maybe that the knobs weren't cross-threaded so they would hold better. Not sure which is causing the problem but it does exist, though it isn't fatal to the design or function just more of an annoyance. Overall, much nicer than using a hoop or having to hold a scroll frame by hand. I couldn't find anywhere, even with coupons, that could beat Overstock's price at the time I ordered, so I'm still pleased with my purchase.

Just right

This lap frame is adjustable, sturdy, and well made. I bought it to replace a shoddily-made frame from another source. I wish I'd found this one earlier, it's exactly what I was looking for in a lap frame.

I just received this Oak Frame and I wished I would have purchased it long ago what a difference. I was using a QSnap frame and my cross stitch kept getting to much slack so I decided to go to a scroll frame and I will never go back. This frame is well built and what I like is it will hold any size project if you are thinking about buying this frame I would say go for it.

So Happy!

I could not imagine loving this needlework lap frame so much. So pleasantly surprised at the quality, and I am having a ball working on my current project, a needlework Christmas stocking for my son.

Great item!

This was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I can think of that would be negitive is my own faught. I didn't realize that I need to get the extention rods that come in another order. This product is very strong and sturdy. I'm looking forward to finishing my quilt.

Just what I needed..

I have never used a scroll frame before, but have upcoming projects that will be too big for a hoop. I ordered this and was very pleased with the quality. It is just what I needed.

Works Great!

This solved my problem trying to stitch on a wide and long table runner. I had already mounted the fabric on a large scroll frame, but it was very cumbersome to stitch on.. This was the solution that I needed to allow for easier stitching. The legs stabilize the frame and it turns over for easy tying off the thread. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a rather inexpensive answer to a stand for a scroll frame. The floor stands are large and this is small enough to put in a large stitching bag and take in the car. It works well on a couch and table.
