Thanks for the demo. I bought the nurge floor stand after you recommended them in a live video. Somehow I hadn't been able to figure out how to make it shorter to use as a table top stand. After watching you I realised that my daughter had just turned the knobs so tight when she assembled it for me that I was assuming they were fixed in position! Brilliantly versatile now.
I bought both. You sold me. Thank you so much. I received the sit on stand today. I love it. This is my first stand. I have to wait for the floor stand to be sent. Thank you for the tube and great information.
I live in Canada and ordered and received my Nurge lap stand in less than two weeks. I am so thrilled over the quality of workmanship and how it works in my recliner. I could not have asked for anything better. I also thank you for the excellent presentation in your video of this product. Look forward to more informative information in future videos.
Hi Karen. I found your video when I was searching for reviews on Nurge stands. Thank you for the detailed review; it was very helpful. I have purchased the small Nurge model. Have subscribed and am now slowly enjoying other videos on your channel as I stitch. Best regards, Veena
You know I just learnt about the nudge hoops with tightening screws, and they look great. But I wonder if you can just tighten the normal ones with pliers or multigrips?
Love the video,im a hoop user,so going to check out this stand. Have you ever tried the Q snaps before and if you have,what didn't you like about them or liked about them. Dont want to try them if they're not as good as my hoops,lol. I will take your word for it. And would you still prefer your hoop for large projects like full coverage and HAED patterns etc. Here I am with all these questions again...I promise I'm going to run out of questions. Your the 1st person I've found im comfortable with to ask my questions. I don't know a single person that cross stitches so cant ask them. Ive stitched for 40 years but just getting back into it and all this new technology and techniques....very exciting
Beverley Gardam here is one that may be less shipping for you. In NZ broomfieldsco.vendecommerce.com/all-accessories/products/adjustable-seated-embroidery-stand
I purchased this seat stand based on this review. It is everything she said it is and I am very happy with it. I also bought the Nurge embroidery hoops as well as I have to say that they are the best. I will not go back to round hoops ever. These hoops hold the work taught and keeps it that way.
Great to hear! thanks for sharing. I also just bought the square Nurge hoop and they are awesome. using it for the first time today. like the fact that they are so much lighter. thanks again
The nurge stand works with any brand of hoop though doesn't it? I've been doing some research and this video was extremely compelling. Love how they fold up so small too. Just... The price is ouch. Especially compared to 2 years ago.
Thankyou just brought the floor one and wondered if I did the correct purchase, great I did!🌈Just one thing you cant swing the embroidery frame over to end your threads how do you do it please??
Thank you for your video. I am wondering if you are still as pleased with the stand after using it for a year and what size nurge hoop do you prefer for cross stitch on this stand?
I ordered the Nurge stand and 6” hoop from Amazon. I did not see the smaller stand, but the larger stand was $94 with free shipping. I don’t think you need to be a prime member to get that deal. I can’t wait to try it. I have been using the Rolaframe products, but can’t find a stand. I’m wondering if your Lowery stand would hold the scrolls. Thanks for the info.
Crafty Librarian with a lowrey stand it depends on the size and weight of the scroll. I had quantum frames and never had much luck ni matter what i tried. Check Vonna - the Twisted Stitcher she just posted a placed that has rolaframe stands in stock but i cant rember the name of the shop. I think her post was on instagram
Hi Karen , I love the new loop start you showed on the last episode. It also works when using 2 threads which is even easier than the pin stitch.. Now to my question about the Nurge seat stand. Is it possible to change out the head to put the holder for a quantum frame or q-snap on it?
Crafty Anne gee i have not tried that but i guess you could if you adjusted all the angles to what works for you. The only thing is the table stand has tiny things on the bottom to protect your table so it may not be as comfortable as the seat stand. I really love my seat stand. Use it all the time. I am thinking the table stand may have too many angles to adjust to use as a sit on stand. If i could only get one i would get the seat stand cause by adding a little weight you can use it on the table
i love how you explain this stand. i was looking to buy it and was looking for revieuws. this helped me so much. i only have 1 question, does the stand work with the plastic nurge square frames?
Thanks for this video about the Nurge lap stand. I just bought it and found it can easily be used as a table stand as well. My question is, I’m not finding an easy way to get to the back of my hoop to end a thread. Do I need to take my hoop off every time? Thanks for your help.
If you have a chance please show how you do it. I am starting to stitch a huge HAED and that will be a lot of folded fabric. Maybe your way of gathering fabric is a lot better then mine! 😀Thank you so so much! I am learning so much from you. 🌷🌷🌷
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Here is the link you requested. www.etsy.com/listing/687557652/nurge-adjustable-seat-embroidery-stand?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=nurge+cross+stitch+stand&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1&bes=1
The opening is just shy of 3/4 of an inch. However you need to take into account the screw at the top that holds the hoop in place. I can say for sure a qsnap will not fit in the opening. Hth.
LEAH Mcginley the table stand was about $70 on Etsy. On Amazon it is $90 something.. worth every penny in my opinion. Yes I will be selling my Hardwick Manor Fanny Frame. Not sure yet about the Lowery. I had also ordered the Hardwick Manor table stand and extra hoops (ordered before I discovered the Nurge stands). Will be picking that up this weekend when I go to the Stitchery Row Retreat. I will be selling that also.
Hi Karen ,l have received my nurge floor stand ,does your hoop has some play in it that moves just a little from side to side ,l just thought it wouldn’t move .
I bought one from amazon Australia,the larger one and a 7 inch hoop all up $127.00 Australia,and free delivery ,l am one happy person ,as l need my shoulder replaced ,which l am not going to do ,and l have been using a q snap which is really hurting my shoulder and arthritic hand ,so this is going to be much more comfortable for me ,this is why l love utube and lovely people that are willing to share if only my brain could count stitches and not lose my place ,l have only ever done one crossstitch but l am slowly getting the hang of it ,and l just have to do complicated full patterns don’t l ,oh well that’s life .🥰
In all honesty i am not sure. I have only used hoops. And they state for hoops. However i did see a pic of someone who used a scroll frame. Just not sure if it was a rollaframe. If the scroll rod is thin enough my guess is it may work. But i really do not know the answer
Hi Karen. Thanks for this video. I never heard of this brand. I am currently working on my first HAED (storykeep so it’s small) and am using qsnaps. I never thought of using an embroidery hoop to cross stitch. But I am fairly new so have a lot to learn. Would you recommend using an embroidery hoop to cross stitch? Is there any cons in using a hoop versus qsnaps or even scroll frames? I find that I can’t really get my fabric tight in a scroll frame. It keeps on loosening up Thank you and looking forward to your reply as I am thinking of purchasing the hoops and maybe even a stand.
Hi Florence. personally I prefer the Nurge hoops. I can get my fabric drum tight and it stays tight. check my video on how to load your. hoop. also I do not worry about crushed stitches. when you are finished and was your project all those stitches puff right back up.
I have 3 pinched nerves in my neck from a fall and this is perfect for me to continue to stitch :) thank you for the video !
Thank you for this very informative video. I’ve researched several stands and I’m sold on Nurge!
Thank you for your video on the Nurge products. I got them and love them!
I'm sold. Your video is just what I needed to cement my decision to buy the Nurge lap stand. Thank you for making this informative video.
Best video I have seen on this topic! I had no idea what to buy until I watched this!!

Did you have any luck Beverly? I'm also in Australia! 🇦🇺
Just got mine today and was confused about how to put the hoop in. Thanks for clarifying.

Thank you for sharing Is there anything for rectangular hoops? Or rectangular stand like a table meaning for a big space for big project?
Really informative demo. Thank you. Do you know if you can use stretcher bars with this stand?
I also would love to know this!
Hi Karen , I love the new loop start you showed on the last episode. It also works when using 2 threads which is even easier than the pin stitch.. Now to my question about the Nurge seat stand. Is it possible to change out the head to put the holder for a quantum frame or q-snap on it?
Sorry you can not change out the head of the stand to fit qsnaps or scrolls. It will only hold hoops
Hi Karen Love, love, love your videos. Could you use the table stand as a sit on? !!
Crafty Anne gee i have not tried that but i guess you could if you adjusted all the angles to what works for you. The only thing is the table stand has tiny things on the bottom to protect your table so it may not be as comfortable as the seat stand. I really love my seat stand. Use it all the time. I am thinking the table stand may have too many angles to adjust to use as a sit on stand. If i could only get one i would get the seat stand cause by adding a little weight you can use it on the table
Question. Does it hold tightly while using pressure? Or does it need adjusting often?
i love how you explain this stand.
i was looking to buy it and was looking for revieuws.
this helped me so much.
i only have 1 question, does the stand work with the plastic nurge square frames?
Yes it does
@@NeedleBugg thank you so much for youre reply, im gone order it :)

Thanks so much! I am curious to know what do you do with the extra fabric hanging off the hoop while you’re stitching.
Anait Karagyezyan just roll it up and secure it with binder clips
If you have a chance please show how you do it. I am starting to stitch a huge HAED and that will be a lot of folded fabric. Maybe your way of gathering fabric is a lot better then mine! 😀Thank you so so much! I am learning so much from you. 🌷🌷🌷
@@Ana-em8bm could you use big hair clips? The shark / butterfly clips that are back in fashion from the 90's?
Hi! First of all thanks for sharing your experience with both Nurge stands. Do you mind sharing the links where you have bought them?

love the video.....How wide is the opening...My needlepoint frame is 3/4 inch thick. Will it fit? thanks
The opening is just shy of 3/4 of an inch. However you need to take into account the screw at the top that holds the hoop in place. I can say for sure a qsnap will not fit in the opening. Hth.

Oh the table stand is wonderful.. how much is that one.? Are you selling your other stands?
LEAH Mcginley the table stand was about $70 on Etsy. On Amazon it is $90 something.. worth every penny in my opinion. Yes I will be selling my Hardwick Manor Fanny Frame.

Hi Karen ,if you could only afford one which one would you choose ? I think the floor stand ?
The floor stand. Most versatile
Hi Karen ,l have received my nurge floor stand ,does your hoop has some play in it that moves just a little from side to side ,l just thought it wouldn’t move .
Hi. In my previous comment I meant to say I have a problem in keeping my fabric tight in a QSNAP (not scroll frame)
I bought one from amazon Australia,the larger one and a 7 inch hoop all up $127.00 Australia,and free delivery ,l am one happy person ,as l need my shoulder replaced ,which l am not going to do ,and l have been using a q snap which is really hurting my shoulder and arthritic hand ,so this is going to be much more comfortable for me ,this is why l love utube and lovely people that are willing to share if only my brain could count stitches and not lose my place ,l have only ever done one crossstitch but l am slowly getting the hang of it ,and l just have to do complicated full patterns don’t l ,oh well that’s life .🥰
Will the Nurge stands hold a roller frame rather than a hoop?
In all honesty i am not sure. I have only used hoops. And they state for hoops. However i did see a pic of someone who used a scroll frame. Just not sure if it was a rollaframe. If the scroll rod is thin enough my guess is it may work. But i really do not know the answer
Do I have to buy their hoops or can I use my own?
No Leslie you can use any hoop. Just not scrolls or qsnap. You do not need to buy nurge hoops
Does that bottom knob bother the inside of your leg?
Teresa Hurst not at all. Don’t even know it is there
How do you get to the back of your piece when using this stand?
cgreenwitch55 you flip the hoop up to get to the back
I have arthritis in my fingers this should help
Is the sit on stand for any size
Maxine Shelton if you mean for any size hoop. YES
Found the right person
Can you use plastic hoops
Yes
Can you flip your work over to get to the back of your work?
Yes you can. It flips up to get to the back
Where can you buy this
Maxine Shelton Amazon or etsy
Did you get it on Amazon or Etsy??
ETSY
Hi Karen. Thanks for this video. I never heard of this brand.
I am currently working on my first HAED (storykeep so it’s small) and am using qsnaps. I never thought of using an embroidery hoop to cross stitch. But I am fairly new so have a lot to learn. Would you recommend using an embroidery hoop to cross stitch? Is there any cons in using a hoop versus qsnaps or even scroll frames? I find that I can’t really get my fabric tight in a scroll frame. It keeps on loosening up
Thank you and looking forward to your reply as I am thinking of purchasing the hoops and maybe even a stand.
Hi Florence. personally I prefer the Nurge hoops. I can get my fabric drum tight and it stays tight. check my video on how to load your. hoop. also I do not worry about crushed stitches. when you are finished and was your project all those stitches puff right back up.
Can you turn the hoop to work on the underside to secure threads?
IslandTime79 absolutely. Just loosen the knob and flip the hoop back
But it limits the size of your project. You can only use itty bitty hoops.
Actually I have a friend who uses a 12 inch hoop with hers. For me if I needed a hoop that large I would switch to a scroll frame
Thanks for replying. It's not for me. Enjoy your cannel very much. Lots 0 knowledge.@@NeedleBugg
Karen, Can I assume that the clamp is also too small for a scroll bar?
Holly Doyne that is correct. The stand will only hold hoops
Thank you! Best review I found. I'm ordering right now! 🪡💗👍
Glad it was helpful!
