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 does not have to become a permanent fixture in your living room unless that is
what you want.
3. 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.
4. This is a biggie: 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.
5. The stand is guaranteed for life.
6. The tactile feel of the stand is surprising.
As you rub it, it feels warm and smooth.
7. 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. Below is a diagram of a side view of the type of table construction that
is troublesome. 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 of these
tables.
