\nToday’s “Stitching Blogger’s Question” was suggested by Kim<\/a> and is:<\/p>\n

What do you use to hold your fabric while you stitch? A hoop, a
\nQ-Snap, a scroll frame, something else, or do you stitch in hand? Have
\nyou always used just the one thing or have you tried one or more of
\nthe others? Which do you like best? Why?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All of the above! I use scroll frames on most of my projects, as long as the fabric is long enough to fit (my smallest sets are 12″ rods with 6″ cross bars). I use Q-Snaps for small projects (I have a 6″ set and a 7 or 8″ set). I still use hoops every once in a while when I have a small project and am desperate. \ud83d\ude06 I also stitch some small projects in hand, particularly charity quilt squares stitched on aida, since the fabric is usually stiff enough to not require a lot of tension.<\/p>\n

My favorites are the scroll frames. I like to mount them on a lap stand so that I can use both hands, if the project is wide enough. I like how easy it is to release the tension in between stitching periods. I like the tension you can achieve … for the most part. It’s not perfect, but for my larger projects, it’s my weapon of choice. Otherwise, I like the Q-Snaps for smaller projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
