My New Stitching Stand

Like every other stitcher's I have brought more than one stitching stands since I started stitching many years ago. I do most of my stitching in a recliner, a very large leather recliner. But I just can't find a stand that will let me stitch while reclining in my chair. Since I have been having a sore shoulder and I find holding my Q-Snap gets very tiring. I just had to find something that would work.

 Well long story short I made my self a stand and here it is. 


 OK laugh all you want but this cut up piece of cardboard box works just how I want it too. It fits over my wide lap and I can prop the Q-Snap against the edge and presto 2 handed stitching and I am not holding the Q-Snaps. It's not pretty but it works for me and that is the important part of it all isn't it.

and it didn't cost you an arm and leg, wonderful. I bet you could add attachments, thing you put on with clips, lots of lights and magnifiers come with them and with a clothes pin you could add a little small box to either put your snippets or small scissors and threads in. You are genius.
