I just purchased the Z lap frame on Amazon for $54.00. It has great reviews. It is completely open-ended on one side. It is able to hold any size/brand of scroll frames, stretch bars, and q-snaps. The height is adjustable. I am expecting it on Friday. Once I get it and try it out, I will let you know how it works. I was very excited about the fact that it is able to hold all types of frames. I use the Q-snaps now, but I want to use my bigger q-snap. I can use my larger one for a little while, but then I have to put it down because it starts to cramp my hand.
Q-snap or a big scrollable frame is my advice.
The first you can easily remove and replace, but with a good scrollable frame you neednt handle your work too much.
I like lowery stand, it works great

I rarely use a hoop, but am going to try a scroll bar on my next project.After reading all this I might get a stand since I can use a 40% off coupon.Also I can return it if I dont like it.
I rarely do really big projects!
This is my lap stand and I love it!!! I added a magnet strip to the top for my needles and use a clip on pattern holder. This can be a bit pricey but go online to Wal-Mart.com if you are here in the U.S. and they have it for the cheapest price. Dont buy on Ebay-too HIGH!!! The only thng about this stand is that the frame that comes with it only goes up to 12 inches wide, with 6 inch side bars. To me that was too small an area for stitching so I went ahead and purchased a set of scroll bars (heavy duty) in a 22" length and purchased the 8" side bars to go with. It is a bit of an investment but so worth it as its solid oak! With the longer scroll bars and side bars it makes the frame come down a little bit low for my lap but I wrapped a bit of quilting batting around the knobs underneath and taped it down and I can raise or lower it to suit my persnickety needs ;P I buy my extra parts from sassy2stitch on Ebay. Shes a nice lady and had a good price on her scroll and side bars. Hope this helps and let us know what you get.
