Anyone using q-snaps

Edited by anniekins at 2022-9-30 06:50

Is anyone using the bigger Q-snap frames? Are they hard to maneuver around?

Do you use some kind of stand with them?

i used them as half frames too. as like i dont snap on all the ends for bigger projects. i find them lighter and doesnt have to remove the snaps ever so often.

i also agree that 8*11 is the biggest size you can hold up without feeling fatigue.

DiX Publish time 2020-3-2 23:40

I've discovered Q-snaps recently. Never will use frames again! Now I have Q-snaps in different sizes and can combine them.

Because I do not have a stand, I just sit in front of a desk, and put the far edge of the Q-snaps to the table top.

I think 8x11 is the largest size to use without a stand easily, after that you need either a lap or floor stand for them, on the up side, with a stand you can stitch 2 handed which is quicker, when learning keep at it, takes around 2-3 weeks to train hands and brain in the new regime :)
