Absolutely— I’m using a scroll frame that I can adjust to any height so I can stitch while sitting. I got it off of amazon, but it doesn’t look like it’s available anymore. I’m sure you can find something similar if you’re interested in it though!
There are 42 reviews on this one and it’s the highest rated on amazon. Do you think this is a good stand?

I have something made by the same company. It's for scroll bars though. I LOVE IT. It is awesome!!! It has sped my work up so much! (can you tell I'm excited about this question?)
It was recommended from someone on here. I like how the legs don't have to be the same height. I stitch in a recliner, and when I am working on the far edge of the piece, I can make the legs uneven and put one of them on the arm rest of the chair, so I can actually reach what I need to.
as someone that is getting back into cross stitch after years of a break... you get better with practice. some things I have noticed.
big blocks of the same color are MUCH faster to do then when there are multiple colors.
using this lap stand has doubled my stitching speed. I have one hand in the front, one in the back.
as for the prices on etsy for finished projects..I agree that someone must just be trying to get ride of them. The cost of them barley covers the cost of the materials. I notice them the most at stores that stitch their patterns first...so they always have to make one.
It's this one but it isn't currently available through Amazon 😿
They do have a slightly different one available, it just has less mobility.
I hope you love it as much as I love mine! I have the Diana Frame with the Z shaped legs - you can buy it as a set with a scroll frame on amazon for about $45.
One of the first reviews on there is really detailed and she shows you how you can change the leg set up from a Z to a C shape to accommodate your needs.
I have tried both, and overwhelmingly prefer my lap stand. I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/GONCHAROFF-EMBROIDERY-ORGANIC-COMPLETE-TAPESTRY/dp/B01CMFSGU6/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2UEJTDUWLTE40&dchild=1&keywords=goncharoff+tapestry+scroll+embroidery+frames&qid=1605036537&s=arts-crafts&sprefix=goncha%2Carts-crafts%2C198&sr=1-3
it's incredibly easy to adjust the height and angle, and simple to flip from the front to the back of the frame.
I have a simpler version of this, down to the visible brand markings. I bought it on amazon.com. Here's the link. I thought Etsy was for handmade goods, not wholesale.
Hello everyone! I've been having a lot of fun with this latest project. I've learned a lot
Hoops for a project that is over 10 inches both ways sucks.
I love this lap stand that a poster here suggested (thank you whoever it was!! Maybe u/wildviolet ?). Notice how each side is adjustable? That means when I am doing this big project, I can shorten one side, have it sit on the arm of my chair, have the other leg longer ...so the project is the same height, but the whole thing doesn't have to be centered on my lap. That has Really helped with shoulder pain, as I don't have to reach as far to get to the far left (or right) of the frame, and I can still sit in my comfy recliner.
Always check the size of the pattern before you buy it. I thought awww cute... a little bull dog for my friend. Bought it, went to buy materials and it's the largest project I've done to date! I decided to do it anyways, Luckily she can't complain about size as it's a gift ;)
Cats love lap stands. Picture of proof included.
Must have cat free room/space to store lap stand if you have cats. You just can't leave it in your chair, they would get on it way too much.
I love the John James petite needles. I thought they would be too small after they arrived. But after a few weeks of using them on this, they work great! I haven't had an threads break due to the eyes. Every eye fit the needle minder. I even bought some regular size needles to try from john james, but haven't bothered to try them yet.
Magnetic bored is nice to hold the chart. BUT. I highly suggest get one with a stand. The flat laying one gets annoying. So does it being smaller then the paper size, as the edges get all bent up. Maybe I will buy a better one when I can afford it.
the recommended amount of floss sometimes is not near enough. I don't know what they did their calculations on, but woah. I ran out of the main navy blue color by the first page.
Hobby Lobby is MUCH nicer then joann's in my town for cross stitch.
10 . Hobby lobby has a 90 day return policy. So, after I ran out of floss, I went there, bought a whole handful of the same lot. What I don't use, I can return! As long as I don't put it on a bobbin. This way I make sure to get all I need in the same lot, but don't waste too much money
- the bobbin cranks are a waste of money. I will be returning the one I bought. It's just 2 dollars, but it's useless.
I think that is enough lessons for now. Hope everyone is having a great day.
Yea!
I use this one it sells out fast so they do have a slightly different it just has less mobility.
