Needlepoint is a form of embroidery that uses a needle to stitch yarn or thread through a canvas fabric. Q-Snap frames are a popular way to hold the canvas taut while stitching. They are made of two aluminum or plastic hoops that are held together by clips. The outer hoop has a grooved edge that holds the canvas in place.
There are several different ways to support a Q-Snap frame for needlepoint. One way is to use a table-top easel. This type of easel has a flat surface that can be tilted to the desired angle. The Q-Snap frame can be placed on the flat surface and the easel can be adjusted to the desired height.
