I also use Q-Snap. Putting it in the stand as you have here doesnt it loosen the top clamp and then the fabric? I love my snap because it keeps the fabric so tite and the stitches turn out so neat and uniform.
I use floor and lap stands, but my floor is my favourite. I bought mine from a charity shop years ago and it has been a god send. Can clip rings to it or hook on large frames.

I use a Lowery floor stand, and my Q-snaps work perfect in it. Big advantage of the Lowery is the small size, it doesnt overwhelm the room its in, but is still sturdy enough to hold my projects. If I used scroll rods and had anything longer than 14 inch rods, then Id worry about it becoming top heavy.
