I have seen a tutorial on how to do the covers yourself online but never bookmarked the site. It was a really good tutorial but I didnt save it since Im not great with the sewing machine.

Id be interested in the site for making Q snap covers also. The only problem with Q snaps is if you have a lot of excess fabric they can become quite heavy. I usually use felt between the rod and the clip that fits over the material but when I get to the middle I often fold the material over and not use the felt. The material is then clipped on the backside of the work. At the edges I have pinned the excess with safety pins.

The Q snap covers are a great idea I have had problems with excess fabric when using them, but I mostly stitch by hand. I goodled for them and the tutorial is very easy so I guess I will be making some

I have made myself some Q snap covers and they are amazing.  I want to make more. They are easier to make than you would probably think so give that a go if you want.

I use a scroll frame and a floor stand.  I dont know how people stitch while holding the hoop/frame.  I want both my hands for my stitching.

I agree. For a large project its too heavy to hold and mess around with all that fabric. Scroll bars are the best choice.  Details Reply Post time 2024-10-7 21:27

I stitch my big projects on very comfortable stitch frame from Serega-Master, it is very stable and Can hold different sizes of frames But still very easy
