I would definitely agree with the opinions here. Qsnaps are great, but they don't give you a ton of place to put the extra fabric. (you can bunch it up and clamp it to the side, but yeah, the bigger the project, the heavier that'll be!) Scroll frames are definitely nice for larger projects because you can roll the pattern and fabric as you go and its all kept nice and neat. And if you do want to 'change out' the design, you can take off the scroll rods its on and put in another pair, storing the piece on the rods for the time being.
That being said, I still love Q-snaps. The tension they give you on the fabric is great. I use these for all my smaller/medium pieces. Even the 8x8 frame is nice. I don't have a hoop so I haven't worked with one of those in quite some time, but I personally didn't care for how they crush the stitches. (My hoop snapped - I just replaced it with the small qsnap.) Though, obviously if you have a really small piece you need a tiny hoop - or do it 'in hand'. I know a lot of people do the big pieces like that too. |
