Embroidery stands

I used to use a stand similar to this, adjustable for hoops and frames.

You can buy embroidery stands from Crafty Imaginations online. They are by Nurge.

I use an Elbesse table clamp. They cost around £25-£30.

My favourite YouTube embroiderer, Sarah Homfray demonstrates here:

Thank you for the suggestions. Has anyone used a stand for using while sitting on the sofa? Not sure how ‘sturdy’ they would be.

I have a stand like the one in the link posted by jusnoneed, and used it while sitting on the sofa.

I have decided on the Nurge which I think will allow me to buy an accessory if I decide I want to use a square frame in the future.

Thanks for the responses. Now to start practising some stitches. The Sarah Homfray website looks interesting. 🪡

Cressy I see that if you use the code CRAFTY10 you can get 10% off your first order if you spend over £10.

Thanks Beechnut

Empress Mills in Colne Lancashire and also mail order. have a great range of stands. They. have an amazing range of fabric and haberdashery .

The best ones, IMHO, are Lowery.

But they are not cheap!

I use a seat clamp -has a flat wooden paddle that slips under one side of your bottom either on an upright dining chair or on the sofa - works well. Similar to this -there are others though.

I wanted to try lace making, and a friend told me about her neighbour selling, so I said yes. I ended up with a car full, which I have split and sold much of it on, but one of the items was a stand. I could not work it out, but my buyer was delighted and called it an embroidery/weaving stand, so perhaps it is the same thing as a lace making too?
