I am looking for a user friendly (the best) frame/hoop for doing cross-stitch. I have been using a hoop and are tired of the 'rings' and moving the piece around.
Do anyone know of the best frame?
Thanks

For a really BIG piece, I went to A.C.Moore and got a "roller" stretcher frame -- it stretches out the piece in a small area in the center, the rest of it rolls up around the ends of the frame. For smaller pieces, I just buy a properly sized plain wooden frame, cheap, remove the glass & backing, and staple the fabric across the back with a staple gun, stretching it as I put it on. If you do this right, you can then use the frame afterwards to frame the finished piece!!

I use Q-Snaps. They are really easy to use and don't leave any stubborn marks on the fabric. You can also get inserts to adjust the size depending on the piece you're stitching. I got mine at Hobby Lobby.

I like the ratchet needlework frame - it is simple and easy to use.
