Hello everyone,

As I said I'm new to the forum. I need help in locating a standing cross stitch frame that has a width of at least 36 inches long, I've tried e-bay and the longest I have found so far is 30 inches

Any help will be much appreciated

Hi purpurpurea, welcome to the forum.
Try 'Sew Essential' Elbesee floor standing roller tapestry frame, they have one 36" Â£36.98p.

Hello and welcome

I don't use a stand or frame myself so I wouldn't know what best to look for. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Hope to see you again

Hi and a big welcome to you!!!

Have you looked at a Stichmaster standing frame? The arms are adjustable and will take a 36 inch frame. It also has a light, magnifier and chart holder attachments. I have one and I've used a frame that big on it.

Hi and welcome,
I also remember hearing of someone that used dowels from a local home depot type of place to make longer scrolls.

Hi and welcome to the site i like u r new to this site and i wish you all the luck in the world you will get some useful hints n tips here. If you want a standing frame and if you already have a frame what you hold see if someone you know can make a stand for it, my fella made mine for less than half the price you would buy one and i can change the size of the frame i put in it too as it comes apart. love sue xxxx

Hello from Austria! Can't help you with the standing frame cause I've never used one. But you've got a lot of tips so far.

Thank you everyone for the advice and the kind words, i have found a place called 'Siesta frames' called them up and they can do me a 36 inch frame by itself for Â£20!, im just waiting for it to turn up now

I've heard good things about Siesta, so that's great news. And what a good price! Let us know what it's actually like - who knows, they might get more orders!
