🧵 Doodlin' Around with Images Stitchery Design: The Doodler Stitch Frame Review

This frame is well made and comes with two sizes of dowels which is a nice touch. I think it works great as a circular frame for smaller projects, but I'm working on HAED and it's pretty massive. I had to order a 36" dowel from Etsy to fit my project. It's nice that it holds excess fabric when embroidering, but using it as a knee frame with dowels that long is a bit clumsy. so that you can embroider comfortably. Big projects don't fit on your lap. I almost wish there was more room at the bottom

This is the first hoop I've bought to embroider and I'm so glad I did! I was really worried about the high price but I'm so glad I bought this product. I love it! I work on a lot of embroidery and the traditional hoop doesn't fit. What I particularly like about this frame is that it sits on my lap.

As someone else posted, it took me a bit of time to find the right position to use it, but I did it and it's great. It's so easy to flip it…

I've been using this frame for three months and was happy with it until yesterday when I got it noticed that one of the handles stopped working. Of course, the metal insert holding the screw was missing. I know it was at the beginning because I read and checked the reviews. I ordered a replacement set of 4 pens from etsy for $9 plus $4 shipping. I love the frame but the grip failure at this price point is ridiculous. The FWIW frame arrived safe and sound, connects easily and looks great. It…

After giving this product a really positive review, I had to replace it because after a week of use, one of the handles failed to tighten and I believe another also fails. It was an expensive item, especially with international shipping. I should have listened to other reviews saying the same thing but I was hoping there were just a mistake or two. Thread does not allow this. This also means that the cross-stitch canvas never stays completely taut and has to be constantly tensioned. It doesn't…
