Hello, I know you were subscribed to my original channel that was removed years ago but recently reinstated. I have been going through and finding all the channels I was subscribed to from that channel and subscribing to them on this new channel. I hope you are well.
I’m considering purchasing the System 4 lap stand. I like to use the scroll frames for cross stitch. Would the frame attachment work or would it be better to buy the scroll frame holder?
Wow, I have to say that this was the most professional review/explanation video I've ever seen! You had everything ready, no having to look for things in the middle of your talk, etc. I learned so much and you answered every question I could have had. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video!!!!!
Will this tabletop system work with scroll rods? Thank you!
Hi! There are scroll rod head attachments that can be purchased separately. There are 3 different sizes. The unit in the video is for Q-snaps and will not hold scroll rods. This is because the clamps on the side are designed to hold a round Q-snap and not a square spacer bar. Hope that helps! Happy stitching.
I just got my stand out again. I’ve had it since at least 2016. We moved out of state in 2018 and I just quit using it. I forgot how to set it up. I use the Qsnap setup and totally loved your video. Thx so much for doing that video!
Thank you. The Wooden Stand that I was given as a Christmas Gift like 30 years ago died a death where I kept trying to make it work...reversing everything...I'm not left handed...and the point of balance didn't work, so it just kept making a head dive...and the original nuts were within wooden nuts, so trying to transfer things to wing nuts, while possible, meant shifting hands for the part of turning the frame over to work on the back briefly...not only now trying to retrain my non dominant hand to be useful in different ways, but the place to tighten and loosen was now next to my non dominant side, and my hand wasn't reversible. Several tries at different floor stands with non in the Goldilocks Zone for me, and I was beginning to think the hobby that was also my meditation Zen was gone and then after 2 and a half years of stress with my Zen unattainable...two houses, a few illnesses that damaged either quadruped family members or bipeds... Finding this system was - I'm not religious, so at this moment blessing or godsend seem like the wrong words, but also right. Finally a stand that could work and not break like the last one... But then NO instructions or pictures on how to put it together!! Arghhh!!! Finding your video was also a "blessing" / "godsend." Thank you. I'm going to check your other videos and hope you have something for the magnification and light holder, and god the scissor tray. The main part I've got, lol. But now like the mechanics in comedic tv shows, I have three extra parts At least they're not extra parts for putting together a plane or a vehicle. You'd know you missed something vitas with the sized pieces being extra. I hope you have these covered on other videos. Thank you soo much for your video on how to set this stand up.
Isn't YT great! You can find info on almost anything. Yeah, extra pieces - not good when you're working on a car, but okay if you're putting together IKEA furniture. Alas, I've never even seen the magnification/light holder in person. After staring closely at the pictures, I thing the silver "U" goes on the upright with the legs pointing to the right. That would put the wing nuts and the black tightening knob on the same side. I think the tray goes in the smaller hole. The larger hole looks like it would take the "pin" of a lamp that you clamp on the back of a desk. I use a IKEA clamp light on the back of my NS4 clamp attachment. They have since discontinued the one that I have. Looks like the NÄVLINGE would be very close in design. Hope that helps. Happy stitching!
I need a scroll frame for my husband who stopped stitching his large beloved piece because the q snap tore his fabric. Can you recommend a scroll frame that is top quality. He has leukemia and this was his way to relax... Thank you.
Ooo, Debra. I may not be the right person to ask about scroll frames. I have a hate/hate relationship with scroll frames. I've tried a few. Most don't get the fabric as tight as I'd like. You didn't say what size the fabric is on your husband's piece. The best I've ever had....I have no idea what brand it is but...I ripped off the basting tape. Then I used velcro (hook and loop) tape. I put the hooks on the wood and the fuzzy on the cross stitch fabric. This allowed me to line the fabric as straight as possible and roll the scroll rod onto the fabric. Plan on cutting off the fuzzy tape from the fabric when the piece is complete. Hope that helps! Happy stitching.
Can you add the link for the light you are showing that is on Amazon please?
Hi Sandy! I had no problems searching on Amazon for the light. What shocked me was that the price has almost doubled! I then checked IKEA's website and it looks like they're discontinuing the light. Good news is that there are other clip on LED lights. I just typed " jansjo ikea clip on light " without the quote marks. There were a few. Be aware that some were USB and some had a wall plug. Happy stitching!
@@OrganicGranny thank you so much for the reply. I’ll find something! Thanks for the lead though! Much appreciated
where can I buy those white clamps on the qsnap head? not the parts to the qsnap but the part that opens up for the qsnap. Somehow in storage one of mine is lost. I'm having alot of trouble finding those.
I would reach out to the company. It's a small business. They should be able to help you with that. Happy stitching.
Nice what about price
Will the Oxford Gripper Frames work with the Frame Clamp??
The jaws of the clamp will open to a maximum of 1 5/8 inches. So if the non pin edges of the wood are 1 1/2" (1.5 inches) or less, it should fit. You will have to adjust the clamp around like a "U". with the white clamp plates more vertical. However, if you need to get to the backside of your work, you may have to remove the frame from the clamp. If you're using the floor stand, you may need the arch part, too. Hope that helps.
@@OrganicGranny thank you so much....very helpful. I ordered the lamp you demoed. Can't wait to get it.
Can you use a Morgan Embroidery Hoop with the Frame Clamp?
Yes, any hoop will work with the frame clamp. I use my hoop all of the time.
Your framing is awesome! I love the idea of using a bit of quilt batting to puff it up a bit.
Thank you. I could not believe there was not a diagram. Your step by step was very Helpful. I attached a scrolling frame and adjusted to fit over my lap.
Thanks Gran, I have to assemble one of these for a client
Loved your review! Thank you!
You picked an awesome pattern for your first HEAD! They definitely are a labor of love :)
Thanks so much for this video. You were very informative!!
Oh my goodness!!! What a find! And when you stumble across a gold mine like you did sponsors don't even exist any more :) And I love your framed Bent Creek Forest. It is perfection!
Thank you! Really helpful and informative video.
Hi Lori! I’m binge watching for Stitch Con and I thought I’d stop by and say “Hi”. Love that American Flag (and I’m from Canada). The colour palette is lovely and the piece has so much texture with the way the colours are charted. It looks fun to stitch. Love the HAED foxes as well. Are you just planning on stitching the one that is pouncing or will you stitch the whole thing. Hope you had a great trip. Looking forward to meeting you at Stitch Con. 😄
I look forward to meeting you, too! I think the pouncing fox looks fun all by herself.
Great finishes, especially the Willow Hill Farm piece. Nice framing. Glad you are feeling better and getting your stitchy bug back.
I like the black frame❣️
Thanks for sharing. I found this lamp even in Russia and it's really helpful.
Where can someone buy the thread controller you where on your finger?
It's called a Trolley Needle Thread Controller. I think most LNS or online stores have it in their notions section. Happy stitching!
@@OrganicGranny thank you for letting me know, love your stitching tec
Lori..I talked to Rebecca (NS4) today and she helped me to attach my pattern holder to my floor frame. She was wonderful in helping me. She even sent pictures of how the unit attaches. The website is info@needleworksystem4.com. Their phone # is 1-386-672-1693.
My NS4 must be an older model. It has a similar design but is quite heavy. My problem is that I don’t remember how to attach the pattern holder. Would you have directions for attaching it? Thank you.
Hey, Barb! I have never seen the pattern holder first hand. I did a bit of research and found a web site that says, "Light/Magnifier Holder attaches to the upright post of the floor stand or Travel Mate floor stand. It does NOT attach to the lap/table stand or table clamp. www.threadneedlestreet (dot) com/accessories.htm - I'm not sure if that's helpful at all. Sorry.
Thank you, Lori. I found the pattern holder in an online catalogue from Stitchers Paradise. The illustration reminded me of how to attach it. This is a well designed system that I’ve had over 10 years! I’m just getting back into cross stitching!😊
I’ve had mine for at least 10 years and like it very much. It’s very sturdy. I do wish it was in the lighter material like the newer models. It’s quite heavy. Mine also came with a pattern holder. Thank you for sharing!
Please come and see my video of the Q snap frame on the same NS4 lap stand like you have and give me your honest opinion. I am really struggling with getting mine to rotate. Also if you see anything I’m doing wrong. NS4 told me yours is waay too loose. I thought, Geeze after almost ten thousand views you’d think they send you one that works correctly. Anyway, if you search Needlework System 4 Q snap you’ll find me. I would appreciate it very much..
I saw your video. It appears that you may be local to me. Are you a member of FB? Are you a member of the Georgia Cross Stitchers' Get Togethers? I can't find a way to contact you through CZcams. I'd like to ask some quick questions, but this is a cumbersome way to communicate. Please if you are on FB contact me through there. If not we'll think of another way.
Love seeing you get into the swing of things again and hope you and your family had an awesome holiday!
I have missed you. Glad your back !
So nice to see you back! Hope you had a great trip. Look forward to seeing you soon! ♥️
I hope your cruise was wonderful! Hope to see you soon! Happy New Year!
So great to see you again Lori! Can't wait to see you in Arizona in April!!
So happy to see you! Happy new year 🥳. Hope you had a wonderful cruise. Great to hang out with you x
I followed your Facebook trip photos!! What a wonderful way to spend Christmas....family memories to be remembered for many seasons to come!! So good to see you back and looking forward to the next session! Flossitute is almost finished...looking GOOD! LOVE YOU and miss you!! 😊 . HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY!!
The other Glitter Gulch pattern is called Fabric Floozy. This may be the year I finally start my Flosstitute, I would say yours is more than 50% done. I'm so glad you love the project bag, I hope to get back into making those. Also it might have gotten stuck in that bag, but there was a third Who Knew pattern in there called Ocean Whisper. Is that the one you were able to buy from a destash page, complete with fabric and floss? Anyhow, glad you made it to your cruise. Otherwise, we would have missed out on the turkey art! ;-)
Yes, yes! You're right. Fabric Floozy! Obviously, I wasn't too prepared when I did this. My brain was racing all over the place. :) Ah, yes. The turkey will ever be the mascot of that cruise!
Happy New Year! I hope you were awed and amazed on your cruise. I actually didn’t hear Marsha, Marsha Marsha for the last couple of weeks 😂 I look forward to hearing about and seeing what you stitched on the cruise. I haven’t had the nerve to try a 🚢 cruise so I look forward to hearing what you think.
It is wonderful to see you again! When I saw that you had subscribed to my channel I couldn’t believe it!😊I have watched you for a very long time and you are the best!💕I hope your cruise is amazing!
Hey Lori, thanks for the little bit more than a tease! I hope that your Christmas cruise was absolutely fantastic. Really enjoyed seeing your WIP's and planned projects. Wishing you the happiest of New Years with lots of stitching time. Looking forward to visiting with you more often. Stitchy love, Suzette x
Glad to see you doing flosstube again. I have always enjoyed watching your videos.
