Do you use a stand when you stitch? If so, tell us about it and share pictures if you’ve got them. If not, would you like to try using a stand? Do you have any tips or tricks around using a stand versus not using a stand?
I *do* use lapstands. I recently was gifted a K's Creations lapstand that is perfect for Japanese Garden. It only took me about a day to learn how to stitch two-handed, which makes the stitching go much faster than the stick-n-stab method I've always used. The K's stand folds flat for easy portability, too.
I also have a smaller lapstand that is perfect for smaller projects. The Elan by Artisan Design is not only pretty, but really functional considering how small it is. It will hold scroll rods, needlepoint frames, and qsnaps. It also can be stored flat. I like the wood knobs... they're much easier to adjust than the wing nuts on the K's stand.

But how do you set them on your lap and not hold onto the stand?
No stand here. I set my stitching on my built in shelf and I am pretty sure that a stand would not work so well there!
Have a great day!
The lap stand looks interesting. May give that a try sometime.
Love, love, LOVE K's frames. I really like how each frame can adjust to different size scrill frames.
I really like the K's lap stand....its on my wish list ! hugs..Linda J.
Very cool stand!
The Elan is beautiful, but do you have to use it on a table? I dont think I could stand stitching at a table all the time.
Meari, you can buy black knobs for your K's frame from the manufacturer to use instead of the wing nuts. I bought some years ago....much easier on the hands.
I carry my stitching around with me too much. I have tried stands on very large projects but I think I'm more a carry around person.
I like your stands - they are both wonderful! I also really like the WIP widget you have on your site. How very cool!
Love your stands! Especially the mini one! So cute! I do use one for my BAP's but usually hold smalls in my hand or a small hoop!
I just came across your blog, I just rewarded myself with K's creations for the holidays. I received the majority of my order and I love what I did receive. However, I ordered the perfect tension which was on back order. I have not heard anything else from the comapny. Do you have any suggestions on what i should do
