I’ve shown you the wonderful wooden Baby Z Lap Frame I have to hold my needlework projects. It’s portable and well made. It is relatively heavy, but that works well to hold it in place while in use.
I’ve also shown you the Morgan No-Slip hoop that holds the fabric tight.
Well, I now have a Morgan Lap Stand. This set has two no-slip embroidery hoops and extenders to create a lap frame. (As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)
There are many sizes available, but I chose the 7″ and 9″ set. You can use the stand with either the large or small hoop as the base.
This is especially nice for French knot work or if you want to rotate the work at all. It can be used either on your lap or on a tabletop. You can also use either hoop by itself. These will fit in my wooden lap frame, too. It collapses for travel and storage, though you’ll need a bag to keep all the pieces together.
I found working with this frame on a tabletop to be quite comfortable even though it is a flat surface. You could probably prop a towel or pillow under one edge to angle it if desired.
