How to build a Needlepoint Stand
Jeannette does a lot of cross stitching. She stretches the material in a hoop and holds the hoop in her left hand while doing the cross stitching with her right hand. I shopped around and checked the internet for a needlepoint stand to make her life a bit easier, that is being able to clamp the hoop in the stand so that she can use both hands for doing the cross stitching. The nicest one I found was the floor stand offered by Jeanette Ardern Designs. But at US$ 100.00 plus shipping and handling, I figure that I could do a better job, and sure enough one 8 feet maple board and some hardware did the trick.You need Adobe SVG View software to view the plan diagrams
