You'll be pleasantly surprised when you rotate this frame and feel how it contours to your body shape You'll be happily hooking your rugs in comfort with this NEW ergonomically designed lap top hooking frame.  Our frames are also designed with your hand health in mind.  Large easy grip knobs are a welcomed comfort after hours of hooking. The knob placement is more easily reachable than any other design on the market. And the knobs are placed right side up.  The feel of a softly contoured wooden knob is a true delight. The tilt and swivel design of this frame is very very easy to adjust. You can do it with no eyes.  This frame also folds down to 3" for storage and travel. Compare the features with others on the market and you'll find that this product is far superior in ease of use.  OUR MODEL IS 50% LARGER THAN COMPARABLE FRAMES This frame is ideal for lap top or table top work and is very portable. It was designed to be just the right size for resting on your lap and the generous hooking area allows you to do more hooking before you have to reposition your work. Our grippers strips are professionally stapled to a 1 inch rounded contour.  BEWARE about buying a frame that has flat mounted grippers strips.  These strips are designed to spread open when stapled to a contoured surface.  If layed flat they tend to stay too close together and have a less effective hold on the fabric.  Let's talk about KNOBS. Why cause your hands any additional strain by having to adjust those frames with tiny wing nuts and miniature knobs? *** PLASTIC KNOBS ARE PAINFUL *** Although plastic knobs look cool, they are "extremely painful" on the hands.  I know because I've used them on woodworking jigs and fixtures for years.  What's worse is if they are positioned upside down on the frame, It seems you're always fiddling with which way to turn them to tighten and loosen.  Some frames are selling with round wooden knobs.  These knobs are very cumbersome to grip and slip when you tighten and loosen them. When I looked at what type of knobs were on other frames, I decided that a radical new, hand friendly design was sorely needed.  My knobs are 1 1/2" thick. They are square shaped with nicely contoured edges.  This allows for a comfortably positive grip. Additional Features Include: Hand built from select Tulip Poplar hardwood. Measures 18" long by 14" wide with 4 1/2" of under height for plenty of hand room. That's a whopping 175 square inch hooking area.  Compare that to those 99 square inch models. Tilts 120 degrees to the left and right and swivels a full 360 degrees.                                Bottom edges of base that contact your lap are rounded over to avoid painful pressure points.   Large easy grip tension knobs. Your hands will be happy. The uniquely contoured commercial grade stainless steel gripper-strips allow for easy positioning or repositioning of pattern. Nicely sanded and finished with a generous coat of boiled linseed oil.  You'll be very happy with the quality of this loom.  Some Notes About Shipping Please use the convenient shipping calculator provided below.
