If you choose Qsnaps the 11" squares are a popular choice. You'll still be able to hold the frame in your hand and stitch, if this is what you need. A lot of people use hair clips to hold the excess fabric out of the way. Or use elasticated covers.
I think if you go for scroll frames and upwards you may find them unwieldy after a while. Especially at HAED sizes, so you're probably going to want a frame and a stand to hold it.
Inexpensive options in the EU that I like are Elbessee. I really like their frames and stands. Their posilock system might work for you, and still allow you to sit at the sofa and stitch. Look secondhand too - there are lots of their frames out there, for not much money.
If you go on Ebay, look at ITA. They are fairly new, but are putting out some impressive frames/stands at amazing prices. I haven't tried them but I have heard good things from people who have.
Good luck! You don't need to spend a fortune to get a good system. I don't think there is too much that can go wrong with a basic wooden frame that can't be easily repaired! |
