This stand is worth the rave reviews it gets! I have to especially stress to anyone like me that wants a super tight fabric to work on, this legitimately does the job. My stitching looks so even and clean, and I love being able to finish easily on the back of my work or switch areas at the touch of a button.
I have tried a half dozen different stands, and this one is just a cut above the rest. I was even able to set it up sideways with the swing out add on so I can recline in my chair while I stitch. I also love the accessory bar so I can add a tablet stand onto it for my digital patterns. I could go on and on about this, but hands down it is definitely a piece that has had a LOT of thought and care put into its design. Thank you 2Hubbies and wives for making such a perfect stand!
It is a very sturdy frame and stand. I especially like the ability to bring the frame closer to you without moving the stand. This allows me to get very comfy in my recliner.
I have had my stand for just over a month and I LOVE it! I also am very happy with the magnetic rods that are included now! My first project I am doing on the stand - the fabric is 42 inches wide. What a joy to see the whole width of the design. I live part time in two states. I love this stand so much I am buying another one so I have one at each house. That is saying something about my love for the product. Also the customer service is stellar. They respond quickly given the time difference of where I live(USA) and where they are(Norway) to all the various questions I had. I encountered an issue with a piece of my stand and they sent a replacement right away, free of charge. This is a wonderful "company"!!! If you are hesitant about buying this product...don't hesitate!!!
This is without question, the best cross stitch purchase I have ever made! I debated for awhile about upgrading the stand and frame that I had been using and I am so glad that I did! I ended up buying the stand, frame, arm rest and swing away adapter and it is a complete game changer! The fabric is absolutely drum tight and the infinite amount of personal adjustments that can be made are incredible. The few questions that I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. My husband and I had no difficulties putting all of the parts together and I am still adjusting things to my liking, but I know, without a doubt, this will be the last cross stitch stand that I will ever buy. Thank you to everyone for making such a wonderful product and sharing it with all of us!
Thank you Kimberly. If you search for Albert in the Cross stitch stand and frame group on Facebook, you will find comments and user suggestions for the Albert frame and stand solution. (Also take a look at the Album side under media files in the same Facebook group)
The best thing I have purchased in a very long time. I have tried so many frames and they were all inadequate in one way or another. In comes the Albert frame and voila, all problems solved! I use it with two Lowry stands that I attached rollers to! My stitching is so much faster because I never have to stop to roll my work, never have to turn my work over, and the tension is always drum tight. The Albert frame brings me joy every time I stitch. Well worth the cost! If you don't have one start saving and buy yourself an Albert frame!
