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

Do you use some kind of stand with them?
Around, bigger, STAND, using

I have one, but I don't use it, I prefer a hoop, I find it easier to get around.  If you place a pie ...

That is such a good idea, but for some reason I cannot seem to visualize how you do that in my head.  Could you elaborate a little more for us slow learners:P

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.

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 tried these an I may have used then wrong but it damaged my fabric :-(, I use a roller frame and Velcro or the frame bars which you staple your work to, frame bars are very light and easy to use

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 :)
