Morgan Products Morgan Lap Stand Combo 7" & 10" Hoops, Multicolored, 1-(Pack)

I wasn't at all sure about this purchase but I'm glad I took the chance. I can sit and quilt with this on my lap and don't have to struggle to support the weight of the quilt with my left hand. So much easier! The size is just about right, too. A decent area without being overwhelming.

Enjoyed the quality of frame

Excelente producto!

I use this for rug hooking. I can center a 10” x 10” pattern on the 10 inch side, no problem! It is much sturdier than the hoops that you can buy in a dollar store. Easy to assemble/disassemble. The no-slip feature keeps base material tight. I have also purchased the Morgan 12” hoop on it’s own, for larger projects.

I like the product very much, because I can get really tight tension on the fabric. Unfortunately, the holders that take on the stand rods are placed on the inner ring, where they interfere in three places with the stitching/punching area (see picture). They should have been placed on the outer ring, where they wouldn't bother at all. Shows that people designed this who never do any stitching. The idea is great but the implementation of the stand is just horrible. I will saw off the holders for the stand and somehow design a way to use them on the outer ring. Just sad, because I only realized this dilemma when I almost punched into the plastic of the holder. Now, I have to take out the project and turn the fabric to needle punch the rest of the project. Because of the loopy backside, I just hope that clamping the fabric anew wouldn't squish the loops already there. What a shame.PS: I corrected my star rating because I did find out, that I could move the fabric and turn it to fill in the areas I could not during the first session. Also, the project was not harmed by it. Next time, I will just use a bigger piece of fabric, then mark the outline of the smaller ring and switch it to the larger ring. This is a good work-around but I still think, that the design of the hoop should not need work-arounds. Using a bigger piece of fabric makes me pay for the extra fabric when the problem lies in the design of the stand. I still am Ok with the product because of the extra ordinary capability to put great tension on the fabric. Because the product is not that expensive, I'll shut up now and hope, that the company will come out with an improved design soon.

Makes stitching easier having it raised off my lap
