Edmunds Wood Quilt Hoop Review

Edmunds Wood Quilt Hoop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The good hoops are actually several veneer-thin layers of beechwood laminated together. The hoops appear to be "endless circles" like a wedding ring.
This hoop was made by bending a thin strip of wood until the ends of the strip touched each other. Then the ends were crudely stapled to a block of wood. The crummy block is not shown in the picture....Hope that the staples don't tear the fabric!
Also, the holes for the hoop-tightening bolt are mis-aligned, making the hoop hard to tighten and loosen.

This 18" solid hardwood hoop with wood fastener holds your work tight and wrinkle free, and is made of a natural color with polished edges to prevent snagging of needlework.

I need to start reading titles better. This is truly a printed color card, there are no floss samples on it. I have returned mine as it reflects light differently than the floss seems to. It is difficult with the new card (impossible, really) to match colors or find substitutes. I will continue using my old floss card.

I wish I would have listened to the reviews when I purchased this kit but I went against my gut instinct. I opened the kit this morning and it took me 2 hours to just untangle the thread. I haven't even started sorting the colors but, just looking at the thread, I can tell that is going to a challenge itself. This is the first and last time I will buy a Bucilla kit. I will stick to Dimensions from now on.

Really this kit is quite good. I would love it if cross stitch kits separated the floss for you instead of making you pull it apart. Be warned the light green and green are almost identical!!
The directions could be easier to follow but all in all this is a pretty good kit.

E-Z Stitch Lap Stand -Solid Oak Review

E-Z Stitch Lap Stand -Solid Oak
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have purchsed several stitching stands that were inadequate or just wouldn't function with a recliner. I even bought one that was designed to work specifically with recliners. I've wasted hundreds of dollars until I found this stand.
I am an avid advanced cross-stitcher and can sometimes stitch in excess of 12 hours a day when I'm in the middle of a project. This stand is so easy to use. My hands and arms never get tired from repeatedly having to change positions from top to bottom to complete stitches. I can easily have one hand on top of the work and one beneath it. This allows me to stitch more efficiently and it keeps my threads from frequently twisting. I love how it can accomodate several sizes of scroll frames. I can adjust the distance my work is away from me or pull the stand close up if I need too. It is very comfortable to sit on and doesn't impeded circulation or cause any discomfort. I stitch in a recliner and this is the only stand that works to my satisfaction.
It's worth EVERY cent!

American Dream E-Z Stitch Floor Stand No Baste Scroll Frame with Graph Holder Review

American Dream E-Z Stitch Floor Stand No Baste Scroll Frame with Graph Holder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this American Dream E-Z Stitch Floor Stand for my wife because she loves to cross-stitch and I thought it would be easier for her to cross-stitch with this stand since she is in a wheel chair. This item took forever to receive, and when we got it, it looked nothing like the beautiful Mahogany supposedly made out of redwood like the product information claimed. The stand we got looks like something we would buy at Walmart for $20.00. In other words... wood that is stained and not like the high quality wood product information claim it to be. It is not very sturdy but very wobbly, and even worse you have to stitch the the cross-stitch fabric to the wooden dowels in order for the stand to hold the fabric... so each time your need to move the cross-stitch fabric she has to unto the stitching and restitch it to the dowels. This Product is very deceiving and not worth $179.99. Instructions very difficult to understand. Instructions state there are accessories that can be bought separately for the stand but not listed in product information. If I could afford the postage, I would send it back and find her another cross-stitch stand. Very poor quality product for the price we paid for it. Very Very Unhappy!

Stitch Master Floorstand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This needlework stand is close to perfect with one troubling flaw.
If you are doing needlepoint using stretcher bars, it is difficult to
get the wooden clamps down tight enough to hold the bars securely.
I've got mine as tight as possible and my project still wiggles out
sometimes. Maybe it's better with dowels for scrolling or large
embroidery frames. I still like it and am working with it regularly.

I ordered this item 1 1/2 weeks ago when it said "hurry only 1 left". I recieved an email from Amazon this morning saying they could not get a response from the company and encouraged me to contact them directly. This afternoon Stuff 4 Scrpbooking wrote and said they were out of the item and would not be getting more. Amazon emailed shortly after and said the ordered had been cancled. Yet, if you shop Amazon the item still appears as available from Stuff 4 Scrapbooking but now it says hurry - only 3 left!

Dimensions Counted Cross Stitch, Bear Tales Review

Dimensions Counted Cross Stitch, Bear Tales
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've just started learning embroidery and cross stitch, and I had a lot of fun with this kit. The stitches include half cross, french knots, chain stitch and back stitch, so I learned a lot. The stitches required anything from one thread to four threads at once, and sometimes mixed two colors together, something I had thought about trying. The instructions were helpful with everything from stitch types to framing, and the chart was very detailed so I could see exactly where the chain stitches started and stopped. The thread was beautifully shaded and the finished product is amazing. I can't believe I managed to produce this with my pitiful beginner skills.
I haven't done that many kits, but this one took me about three months to complete in my spare time.
Well worth every penny. I will be looking for more kits by this manufacturer.
