The Needlework System 4 stand is the only floor stand I’ve ever tried (out of many!) where, once everything is set and tightened, I don’t have to readjust, even after a long time of stitching, moving, turning the frame, and so forth. The clamp is a simple vice set-up, made out of thick plastic, with a large screw on the top.
1. Well, if you want good equipment, the fact is, good equipment costs money. And this is no exception. It is pricey. The stand itself (sans frame clamp, Q-Snap attachment, or scroll bars) runs about $100. But it is useless without the “head” (choices previously mentioned), and they run anywhere from $114-$150.
For Susan Bate hoops I use my system 4 table top model. That is also great and breaks down to be very portable. For needlepoint on stretcher bars up to 16 inches, I use my System 4 table top. 16 – 20 inches I use the System 4 floor model. Over 20 I use trestles.
To have a fully operational Needlework System 4 stand, you have to purchase two components: one is the stand itself – the part that extends from the floor upwards – and the other is the “head” component that attaches to the stand and holds the embroidery work. If you want to use the stand with hoops, then this latter piece must be the ...
This piece is an extension that fits on the Needlework System 4 stand, between the top of the stand and the clamp (or other devises – like scroll frame connector, etc.). It’s an arched piece of metal, with the same end fittings as the other pieces, so that they all fit together. At first, I wondered about the purpose of the extension when I ...
The JAT is an all-wood stand. The NWS4 requires the purchase of two components – the stand itself and the attachment for holding frames or q-snaps or whatever type of frame you want to use. The components aren’t cheap. A total NWS4 stand will cost you upwards to $250 – $300, depending on which head attachment you buy.
This stand is streamlined, easy to use, sturdy, and perfect for most of my stitching needs. I use it primarily with stretcher bars (Evertite frames, to be precise), as well as with smaller slate frames. The second stand that I use all the time is the Needlework System 4 table / lap stand, also with the frame clamp.
Share. “Hands-free embroidery” (or needlework) is a term often used to describe a situation wherein needlework frames or hoops are held by a stand of some sort – a device that holds the frame or hoop so that your hands don’t have to. When talking about hand embroidery, I always chuckle when I hear that term (“hands-free embroidery ...
Oh, yes. I like it. But the price! Holy Cow! To get the stand and the clamp attachment, you’re looking right away at anywhere from $250 – $300. On the bright side, you’d never have to replace it! But the front-end investment is a bit steep. If you want to use scross frames, by the way, you can.
Well, the Needlework System 4 will be more versatile. You can use the frame clamp on that to hold hoops, but you can also use it to hold stretcher bar frames, slate frames, and the like. You can’t use the Nurge stand to hold anything but hoops. I am certain the NWS4 stand will hold up longer, overall.
