After many years of stitching, I became frustrated and gave up 10 years ago due to failing eyesight, together with struggling with various stands, lamps and magnifiers. During the current covid lockdown in the UK, I decided to research some aids to enable me to try to start work again on a large piece that was half finished, and came across your video on the Lowery Stand. I decided immediately that this was just what I needed - assembled it this morning and have happily been stitching all day! Thank you Pam for your inspirational video, hope there are more to follow. Best wishes from North Yorkshire, and stay safe.
Oh, Pat! I’m sooooo happy for you! And, Lowery headquarters are right there. I KNOW they are expensive, but Check out the CraftOptic glasses with the Dream Light. Another stitcher friend ordered them from the USA after trying unsuccessfully with some knock offs. She, too, is doing the happy dance and stitching! Nothing can keep us down with our passion for stitching and I’m sure still cheaper than therapy. Lolololol
Thanks for this! I also use a large Quantum frame and a part on my Monstrik stand broke. I can’t stitch without a stand, so I frantically searched for something else and you totally sold me. You really answered all my questions well. Happy stitching. :)
Oh I like you; you're lovely! Thank you for providing ALL the information I need. My major concern in choosing a stand is to find something that works in my recliner with good posture as I can't see without my work close. Also haven't yet found a comfortable magnification solution so including your lamp and glasses info also hugely helpful. I had previously dismissed the Lowry (just from pictures) thinking it wouldn't give the reach I needed in the recliner - so now I know it's worth another look. Fabulous - top Lady x - Thank you (and your cameraman) again :O)
Thanks a lot! If you stitch Chatelaine designs visit us on Chatelaine Outlander StitchaLong. Small group, stitching great things, learning from everyone.
Great video!!! I think I have a lowery stand. The design is basically the same. Just the knobs are a bit different. Really like the frame adapter. I've just been using the clamp for now. But I have a haed that will be on a big frame and the adapter would be perfect. So glad I found your video. Also thank you for showing your stitching spot and lounge chair. We are currently looking at those for our tv room and I want one for my stitching area. Your video was very helpful!!!
Great review, thanks for all the hints and tips, I'm considering getting myself a lowery stand and have been getting as much info as possible, it is for me an expensive purchase, so I want to get it right, but after seeing this, I think it would be perfect.....thank you x
Thank you for sharing! Those are fabulous to work with for big projects! I notice your veins on your hand is bruised may I say Massaging them with Aloe vera gel and vicks vapor rub after your work will release the soreness and stress of your hand Aloe vera juice is a healing element can be a good beverage mix it with your favorite juice good for your break time to release your stress inside with your hands massage with Aloe vera gel too I hope I can find those stand and the stencil for "big peacock" (facing front) God Bless you mam
Quantum frames can be purchased from Omanik Factories. Www.omanikfactory.com Anton & Alexi are wonderful to work with. Since the release of this video, they have also come out with horizontal side stretchers (usuful for large projects 36 inch or larger). These will give additional stretch/tension horizontally to your fabric if you wish.
So I just ordered the 20” frame adapter..... because it is adjustable, would I need the 14” too or could I make this work. Thank you SO MUCH for explaining this!
I have no idea where to get the frame adapter in Canada, can you please let me know what it is exactly called so I can look it up on the internet to buy one. Thanks for the great video 👍🙂
Where did you purchase the sliding wood adapter? I found the Lowery Stand and attachments at Stitcher's Paradise in the US. But, didn't see the sliding adapter. =(. Thank you for the wonderful video. =)
Hi Pam, thank you for your fantastic videos. My favorite tip is using the gauze for tensioning. I purchased an inside dimension 16” highx36” wide antique frame and extended an “Ellen Stroh Roses in their Splendor” design to fit. The Jobelan is 26”x46”. I used a Qframe for 30 years and I thought it would be fine. Wrong! I now have the Lowery stand and Quantum frame. I had to fold over the ends of the fabric to fit which caused a gap in the already finished part of the design and I couldn’t get the tension I needed. The design was too heavy since I also have trouble in my thumbs and I have Macular Degeneration. I’m determined to finish my design that I’ve already been working on for over 2 years. I checked with Omanik for a 120cm. They can make it but it would cost $242 for just shipping and it would have a brace on it. Are there any tricks that would make it easier when I fold the excess fabric on the ends? Thank You, Gail. I’m impatiently waiting for the next video.
Hello, I am searching for an ideal work station and it was recommended I watch your wonderful video. Can you tell me exactly what parts/Quantum frame you are using in this video? Thank you.
The wood adapter, Extension Frame was purchased from Sew & So and is an indispensable accessory as far as I am concerned. Best results for the Lowery Frame is achieved by placing the base plate unde& the leg of your couch, chair, recliner, etc. Otherwise, use a 10-lb plate weight to anchor.
Hi Pam, can you tell me where I can buy that frame online, I need a long frame? Thank you for your for the 3 videos it help me a lot with my Lowery frame.
If you prefer to work on a frame that is directly in front of you, the Mo steric Frame is the best I have worked with. This footprint, however, did not work well for me as I have a re liner loveseat, with a service table on the side. Hence, a very small footprint is needed. I.e. the Lowery is the ONLY frame that will work efficiently for my stitch nest.
Hi Pam - I have to get some glasses like yours so I can see! Would you please share with me the brand and where you got them. Thanks ever so much! Susan
I am so very very happy I found your video.i also sit in a recliner.i am going to buy the stand an the adapter.want to start sewing.thank you so much for your wonderfull video..where do I buy this fram.
I like your Stan but I don't Crosstitch but I do like to embroider do you think your Stan will work for a round hoop I have to hold mine and it would be nice to put it on a floor Stan do you think you're kind would work for me and where did you get it at
Answered all my questions! Hubby is doing a good job on the camera work. Thank you Hubby!

You are very good at teaching how to use this stand. I just purchased this stand, so your video "really" helped me allot! Thank you! Great video!!

I ordered a pair of Telescopic glasses from CraftOptical as you mentioned in a video and I gave your name to them so you can get a discount.

I'm thinking of purchasing this stand. Was shipping from UK expensive?

Bill Bisbing where else can you by the adapter, they seem to be out of that and the light/ magnifier?
Do you have a link to sew & so extension frame?
Hi Pam, can you tell me where I can buy that frame online, I need a long frame? Thank you for your for the 3 videos it help me a lot with my Lowery frame.
Is your adapter the 14 inch deep or is it the 20 inches deep
Please forgive any late comments. I’ve been dealing with breast cancer and just now re overed to follow up here.
Shipping was reasonable from Sew & So. If you search a Google, you’lol find a 10% discount as well.
I use up,to a 36 inch Quantum frame with my Lowery. I have had no reason to go larger than this.
If you prefer to work on a frame that is directly in front of you, the Mo steric Frame is the best I have worked with. This footprint, however, did not work well for me as I have a re liner loveseat, with a service table on the side. Hence, a very small footprint is needed.

Hi I have found all different prices for this stand any recommendations on were to buy?
I am so very very happy I found your video.i also sit in a recliner.i am going to buy the stand an the adapter.want to start sewing.thank you so much for your wonderfull video..where do I buy this fram.
No, and I was surprised by how quickly it arrived.
What size is the quantum frame that you used during this video?
thank you for info
How much did it cost for shipping?
I like your Stan but I don't Crosstitch but I do like to embroider do you think your Stan will work for a round hoop I have to hold mine and it would be nice to put it on a floor Stan do you think you're kind would work for me and where did you get it at
Yes! It should hold anything nicely.
Why not turn the clamp round so the tightening lever is on the top instead of underneath your frame, it makes life so much easier
How much is it please
Go! Lol
