ZOCONE Beech Wood Adjustable Rotated Embroidery Hoop Stand with 2 Pcs 6'' 8'' Embroidery Hoops, Wooden Embroidery Stand, Embroidery Hoop Holder for Cross Stitch and Embroidery Project (A)

Why didn’t I discover this before?! I’ve been using my own two hands to make French knots this whole time like a plebeian…If you are like me and think “I have hands, I don’t need a fancy contraption to hold my hoops” WELL THINK AGAIN. Just buy this :’)Anyway, I’ve been embroidering for the last several months. I saw one of these on one of the needlework Instagram accounts I follow, and then another, and another. Some were big enough to stand on the floor, others clamped to a table, and a few compact doodads with a base (like this one).Fast forward… I found myself doing a project with about 750 French knots. I’d do the first bit and then put the hoop in my lap to use both hands to do the loop-de-loop, and then pick it up again… you get it, because you’ve probably done it. I thought “Maybe I should get one of those things that holds my hoop so I can get these done faster” and boy oh boy I don’t regret it one bit, despite being tight on money (it’s pretty inexpensive and pays itself off quickly with how efficient it makes embroidery).It’s easy enough to put together with a bit of IKEA furniture logic and some glances at the instructions. I’ve found that the second screw in the bottom of the clamp is not necessary for most people, by the way. It’s overall really easy to use & adjust while you’re working. It might take a bit of getting used to, but you & this stand will be friends in no time.Having a hands-free experience is great. And the type with the lil base is just so versatile!! I can put it on my coffee table, stand it on the floor in front of the couch raised up all the way (with the hoop flipped around and upward like an obtuse number seven), or, what I do most, wedge it under my bum/knee/leg while I’m curled up on the couch and move it whenever I need to rearrange my body. That’s so much better than cramping myself into a single position for hours to work on a project using just my hands, especially with chronic pain.Fun bonus: I got a pack of round 6mm magnets to use as needle minders/holders/organizers/landing pads. This hoop holder has screws that the magnets stick to in really handy spots, so I can just slap my needle down on one of those when I take a break!!My only complaint is that the hoops it comes with (I believe they are 7 & 10 inches) are…. Not great. They aren’t sanded very well so they’re kind of splintery and fabric slips and slides around the rim which isn’t completely even. I didn’t expect them to be included anyway, and they’re not the sizes I use, so I’ll probably find a new home for them. Most standard wooden hoops fit just fine with this clamp, so I use my go-to 6” beechwood or bamboo hoops instead.It’s also weird to me that these are only available in this style, no modern-looking ones anywhere, but that’s not a big deal.All in all… so worth it :) love having a friendly wooden slave to hold my projects for me, keeping them raised safely on the table (vs being trampled & slept on by my feline assistant when I “stored” WIP’s on the couch at night. Yikes).Xx juju.stitching

This is such a simple but effective tool. First of all it fits in a project bag for easy travel. The hoops provided are sturdy and hold your stitching tight. The clamp that holds the hoop is very well routed so it holds the screw clasp very securely. The variable height means it works on every seat, even on a soft couch! The adjustment screws all move and screw tightly so it doesn't move one you get it situated. It took about 5 mins to put together - very simple and good instructions.The best thing about this is that you can now stitch 2 handed which is twice the speed of regular stitching while holding the hoop yourself! Its a game changer and must have for any stitcher IMO. Well worth the money!

I was surprised at how sturdy it was. Assembly was also pretty easy and it’s easy to store. I usually just take the flat base off and store it in 2 pieces. Ready to start a new project so I can use it more.

This is a great embroidery lap stand. I am able to rotate the hoop for better stitching, in any direction I need to and it is making embroidery projects go much faster. Great quality and the wood is durable.

Directions for assembly were easy to follow, but was disappointed when I placed the accompanying embroidery hoop in position. I can't get it to hold securely, which to me is the most important part of the frame.

After pulling a tendon in my wrist, holding a frame while cross stitching was not possible but I was not willing to try something new for a lot of money to learn that an embroidery stand was not comfortable either. This works well. The diagram is pretty is to follow and the holder is really not that complex to figure out any way. The wing nut is a PITA and does loosen but not bad enough that I can not work around it. I can easily swivel the piece around to get to the back and it is comfortable to use while in a chair. I do wish I could lower the height an inch or so but it's not really a problemIt made cross stitching easier to do and nicely holds my project when I am not using it. I have tested it with various hoop sizes and they all seem to work. They just have to be the typical wooden hoop so that the brass tightener area fits in the clamp properly. My wrist is healing well and I plan to continue using the hoop stand afterwards.

Sturdy. came unfinished & I intend to varnish it. I saw others say the hoops that came with it are poor quality but, I think they are pretty good! Smooth and the brackets were sturdy. I'd even say better quality than what I've seen in some craft stores.The clamp that holds the hoops does loosen after a short time but, I went to the hardware store & bought a wingnut & that solved the problem.I say yes, get it.

I was very pleased when the stand package arrived one week earlier than expected. All the parts were there and the quality of the 2 hoops was very nice. The stand itself had some rougher edges but is adequate. I started following the instructions but ran into a snag on #3. It says to "put the rotary joint into the wooden pole slot & then connect the plastic pad, rotary joint, gasket and the top position of the vertical pole with galvanized screw. It should have said the "nickel plated hexagon screw". The only other screw was the adjusting screw and that didn't fit. From the photos it was obvious that I needed the screw with the hexagon end that fits into the plastic pad opening. Also the adjusting screw is shown on #7 but it does not mention that it's only needed if using a thicker hoop. I had to search for that elsewhere on the order page. The stand is really not difficult to assemble but those two things made it longer to complete than it should have. I haven't used this yet and hope my experience will be as enjoyable as so many have stated in their reviews.

The stand was easy to assemble and works very well. It came with 2 embroidery hoops as well which are good quality.

الصدق الخشب انكسر علي وحاولت اصلاحه ولكن اضطريت شراء اخر 🙁
