    I sometimes cut up a cheap silicone loaf pan from the Dollar Store and lay pieces of that between the fabric and frame where I clamp it. Keeps the fabric from sliding and loosening. The thinner and cheaper the silicone, the better.

    You dont need to spend $50 on pipe cutter.. a hacksaw or cheap mitre saw and sand paper will cut and clean pipe for a fraction of the price.. great vid.. Im off to bunnings to make a frame for my first full coverage piece..

    brilliant, I live in the states and I have a small cross stitch stand which i'm not really happy about. I've been wondering how people in cross stitching make bigger stands to do projects and this is just brilliant. I don't have to worry about breaking the bank doing this. Excellent many thank you thank you thank you, from across the pond

    This was a fabulous tutorial. I really appreciate this information. I live in the states and I don’t like paying the shipping costs either and they are not as bad here as they are in your neck of the woods.
    I have not always been very happy with a-snaps and I think it’s because of the sizes offered. I’m pretty sure that I’m going to try this out. Thanks again, I’m glad I found your You Tube channel.

    I live in the US and make my own qsnaps all the time too! i use 1/2 inch pipe here, it seems to be easier to get all the elbows and pieces I need and want but like you said as long as everything is the same size it dosent matter! Amazon sells a bit wider clamp then the ones at your hardware shop and my hardware store dosent even have the clamps, but I love this I even made a stand with PVC pipes no glue because I wanted to be able to break it down and take with me wherever. I made the stand so I can put it over my lap in my stitchy spot or standing on the floor very easy to do and love it on my budget! Thanks so much for sharing!!
