An adjustable stand includes an upright carried by a base which facilitates movement along an arcuate path from a vertical position to a horizontal position with a series of intervening lockable positions. The upper end of the upright provides a ball and socket attachment by which an article such as a quilting hoop may be carried and positioned. The operation of the adjustable stand allows force applied to the hoop to be used to vary the position of both the stand and the article relative to the stand. |

A device for stretching, aligning, and mounting fabric with a visible weave pattern, particularly needlepoint fabric, to a substrate prior to framing. This is done in such a way as to render the weave accurately square. This device or apparatus is comprised of a flat, square shaped, rigid sheet of material upon which the work to be stretched is placed. Along the perimeters of this rigid base is a wood fillet wrapped with a hook and loop fastening material upon which tabs made of reciprocating hook and loop fastening material are placed. Elastic cords extend across and over the needlepoint fabric to be stretched and are secured at each end by these tabs which are selectively placed along the wrapped wood fillet so as to produce a squared elastic grid. The accuracy of the square grid is made possible by the placement of a measurement system along the perimeters of the rigid base just inside the wrapped wood fillet. Since the encased wood fillet gives the elastic enough clearance above the needlepoint to be stretched, the visual guide provided by the elastic remains unmoved while the needlepoint underneath is pulled and stretched into alignment with them. The needlepoint fabric is secured to the substrate at this point and is ready for framing. |
