Flosstube Extra - Hearthside Craftworks Mark 2 Floor Stand Review

[@cathyculverwell7667]

Thanks Jody for showing all the extra attachments for the floor frame. I am going to order the tablet holder now that I see how it attaches. I hope to see you at StitchNorth this year weekend one.

[@lauraellis6810]

This is by far the best review I have seen on a product. I am def thinking I need this.

[@MagicXstitch]

I was a tester stitcher for the 2 Hearthside Craftworks stands when they were created : original floor stand and Mark II. I have both and love them. Since I got them I have never looked back to my other floor stands!! ( and I have many from different brands ). I have been using the Mark II since 2005!! John and Helen Wilkes were amazing owners. I’m very glad that another Canadian business took over their products after their retirement. Just as a note : the side bars in the rotating system can be exchange for longer ones to be able to rotate 360 degrees. I’m so happy that you too love the Mark II 🌹

How cool! I love using mine so much, I loved stitching before and love it even more now. : )

[@pamelahoward8359]

Thanks for your thorough review! I’ve been looking at floor stands and your video just sold me on this one! So well made and functional. I hope you enjoy many happy hours of stitching on this! 🪡🪡🪡

[@heartfulhandworks24]

I just ordered it on Sunday. You did a great job with this review.

[@moonchildstudio]

Jody! Not only have I ordered the floor stand but also GigiR MJ 1810 with the Attic silk conversion! This was a pricey video but soooo worth every penny! Thank you ❤

[@trixietricycle]

Ooo! I bet the silks will be gorgeous. I am LOVING my floor stand. : )

[@thoughtsofawindowgirl2112]

Love this video. Thank you so much for this explanation and all things available. I’m ordering it all.

[@susanalbaugh8803]

Fabulous review! Very in depth. It's on my wish list!

[@annieann99]

Mine arrived yesterday. It’s beautiful and well made

[@texstylust]

Great walk through! It looks like it would work for us vertically challenged stitchers as well. ❤

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

Great review! Thanks for sharing. Marilyn

[@Griffinand3]

Thank you for the awesome demonstration!

[@bethhuisman1722]

Thanks for the demo! I have the Millenium frames but no floor stand to use them with. This was very helpful!

[@OfftheGridNeedlearts]

Thank you Jody for a beautiful video ❤❤❤

[@trixietricycle]

Thank you for a beautiful floor stand!

[@hannamansfield2894]

LOVE the video explanation. Thank you Jodie

[@melissacech6763]

Very well done! You sold me and answered all my questions. This looks much more versatile than my k's creations wooden floor stand. Just one problem. I just bought an oversized recliner that is quite wide, and definitely doesn't have 3" clearance under either. Oh well. The grass is always greener, right? Maybe the lap version someday...

[@trixietricycle]

Thank you Melissa! Betsy Kleger just did a video reviewing the lap stand and it looks like a great option for reclining chairs.

[@melissacech6763]

@@trixietricycle Awesome, I'll check it out!

[@julienichols9712]

Well, well, well…. I know what I want for Christmas 😁

[@donnabeyers8562]

Great video! I would love to see the stand while stitching. That's probably a pain to set up, but it would be fun to see. Thanks for this demo!

[@trixietricycle]

I hope to be able to have some footage in future Flosstube videos; we are working on a small room renovation upstairs for my hubby's home office at the moment but when that is done I'll have more time and space to do so. : )

[@ellenbeallstratton]

Great video! Just ordered my Christmas present! Can you tell me where to get them clamps and scroll rods that you use? Happy Stitching!

[@trixietricycle]

The Millenium Frames are made by Needle Needs in the UK (they sometimes have a long wait time but are worth it in my opinion). The clamps that connect them to the Hearthside Craftworks Floor Stand swing arms are available at Evertote. The link to Evertote is in the drop down details on this video. : ) Merry early Christmas!!

[@sueknapp7316]

Nice video but I would like to see how you sit and work if you are sitting on a couch . Does the stand fit under the couch and get close enough to reach comfortably or will my arms be stretched out and get uncomfortable?

[@trixietricycle]

It depends on how much clearance your sofa has off the ground. For exact dimensions contact Evertote and they can help with that.

[@ankesmeele3743]

Can you tell me how to move along my work from left to right or vice versa? Is there a way to move just the scroll frame, or does the the whole stand need to be moved, or do I move my chair as I progress left or right?

[@deniseperreault]

Thank you for the thorough demonstration! I have been watching & waiting for a similar video on the lap frame that they offer. I’m assuming it assembles like the floor model with shorter legs. If anyone from Evertotes is reading comments, please create a video like this for the lap frame. Thank you!!

[@OfftheGridNeedlearts]

❤ It's on my very long to do list 😉 Betsy Kleger just did a pretty great review of the lap frame with the qsnap adapters on her channel.

[@deniseperreault]

Excellent! Thanks Caroline!!

[@nancyc-v4035]

Thank you so much for the video review.

[@susanhaneline6428]

Very nice video on the floor stand, I would love one! Where did you purchase the blue end-caps for the Omanik frame bars please?

[@trixietricycle]

Hi Susan! The blue end caps are for my Millennium Frames and are available on the Needle Needs site. They are called Bar Parks. I'm not sure they would accommodate Omanik frame bars but here is a link to the site: needleneeds.co.uk/frames/17-millenium-frame.html

[@cynthiaknell9575]

Great help. Thank you.

[@beckiebean8492]

You said that you use a light/magnifier with the stand. I have to use that too. What are you using for the light/magnifier? Thanks!

[@melissacech6763]

Good question!

[@trixietricycle]

Hi Beckie! I recently purchased this floor lamp: (Brightech LightView Pro Magnifying Glass with Light and Stand, Magnifying Floor Lamp with a 6-Wheel Rolling Base on Amazon) and love the versatility but the Hearthside Craftworks floor stand can accommodate a clamp on style lamp as well.

[@beckiebean8492]

@@trixietricyclethanks for the info! Also your review was very helpful 😊

[@doreenkillah3214]

Ordering the stand and a few accessories I am from UK but unfortunately during the payment process it’s states that it can’t deliver to my address? Live on mainland. Contacted them hopefully they can sort it out as this is ideal for me

[@trixietricycle]

The Evertotes team are very responsive but let me know if I can help in any way! : )

[@doreenkillah3214]

@@trixietricycle thank you I contacted them very helpful they were able to generate a customised order invoice for me. Very quick response. Now have to wait for the parcel to arrive. After your excellent review I think there will be a waiting list I will just have to wait

[@texstylust]

Quick question, is it sturdy enough to clamp a larger magnifying light onto it in addition to the other accessories?

[@OfftheGridNeedlearts]

I'll answer this one if Jody doesn't mind - it is indeed. 😊

[@texstylust]

@@OfftheGridNeedlearts Thanks so much!!! Another quick question while I have you on the line ☺️. I see they are made with red oak. All my furniture (Amish made) is red or white oak with Michael’s Cherry stain. Is the stain you use comparable (think dark cherry). Thanks again!

[@trixietricycle]

I don't know the answer to this one but I'm curious too! : ) It is so well built and the finish is gorgeous.

[@OfftheGridNeedlearts]

Yes - they are indeed made with solid red oak, but the finish is more golden rather than cherry. We could possibly sell an unstained frame if you would wish to match it to the rest of your furniture - I don't see why not. @@texstylust

[@texstylust]

@@OfftheGridNeedlearts Ohhh! Something to consider!

[@mountaincraftsstudio]

I’ve already ordered mine so Can I just say that your chair is facing the wrong direction? That VIEW!!! O. M. G. 😮

[@trixietricycle]

We've been in this house for almost 7 years and it never gets old. I am beyond grateful to live in the PNW. : )

[@krist3023]

I thought the same thing. Lol

[@Amylovestoads]

Thank you

[@donnawhite9664]

You don't say the price.

[@trixietricycle]

I don't have that information but if you go to the Evertote website all of the pricing and details are there. There are a number of options that cause the price to vary.
