Stitchers' Paradise: Needlework System 4 Floor Stands

"This is your stand for life. Once you get all the components, you'll never need another stand in your life!" (direct quote from an owner of a System 4 stand).
Stitchers' Paradise is very impressed with the functionality of this stand. The excellent engineering has eliminated many of the annoying traits of needlework stands.

This is a GREAT needlework stand!

The ONLY disadvantage we saw was that the stand sits in front of you and the leg may have to go under your chair. This eliminates use 1) in a recliner with the foot rest extended or 2) while sitting in a chair that goes completely down to the floor in the front so you cannot insert the front leg of the stand under the chair (Note: the front leg of the stand isn't very thick so it can slip under most furniture).

But we have also found we could usually place the stand off to the side a little and, unless we are working on a small piece, happily stitch away in a recliner with the feet extended!

But, this disadvantage is overwhelmed by all the good features.

1. The stand is extremely light and folds compactly. This means you can easily put it in your luggage or carry it around to a friend's house, a class, etc.

2. Without a great deal of effort, you can take your piece off the stand when you finish stitching at night, collapse the stand, and stick it all in a closet. This means that it does not have to become a permanent fixture in your living room unless that is what you want.

3. Things don't slip and/or loosen. When you lock in the angle of the head, etc., it stays there...period. As you rotate your piece (be it mounted on stretcher bars, Q-Snaps or scroll frames) to tie off on the back side, the frame does not loosen or tighten up. That is, you don't have to keep adjusting the tension on knobs (or handles) as you rotate your piece.

4. The stand is guaranteed for life.

5. Other stitchers will be drawn to the high tech look of the stand and will be impressed by the features. This is an exciting stand because it is so different.

6. The table clamp is marvelous. Stitchers' Paradise has found that table clamps don't work on many tables due to the construction of the tables. Most table clamps can't clamp onto the lip of the table, onto the support member itself, or behind the support member. The System 4 table clamp is deep and long enough and to go under and behind the support member on most tables.
