I just completed my first Yubinuki thimble, photo on my page. Now I want to work on technique and not just construction.

Hey Nancy, Jeanne, and Michiko,

Try this link - I think Shay Pendray originated this style but now Jennifer Ashley Taylor markets them. Good luck! Please let us know if you find the stand you are looking for and who makes them.

Hi Nancy and Jeanne,
Thank you for your information.I visited the sites and had a good look.
They look nice and useful,but I am afraid they are not quit what I am looking for.As I desribed on my comment about the stand,all I need is an open trestle with hooked hoizontal wooden bars and ready to use.
Maybe I have to find someone make one for me. Midori(Japanese embroidery tutor)used to supply for students but the craftman is no longer making them.

Thank you ever so much Carol-Anne. Here goes attempt number 2:

Have fun exploring their site. They also sell rayon threads and patterns used in Brazilian embroidery. Off topic, but still interesting.

Hi Nancy, hopefully this link will work for the website you recommended.

The way that I add links on Stitchin Fingers is to type my message, then highlight the words that I want to act as a link, click on the link button above (it looks like a chain and is between the crossed out S and the camera (you can see that I know all the technical terms ;-))), then enter the url for the website.

Hi Michiko,

There was a typo in my original e-mail about the light weight frame stand. It's jewoodproducts.com. Sorry -- I'm trying to do too many things at one time. I just finished my first Yubinuki. It's kind of rough, but now I get the idea and can work on technique. I did get the book by Yukiko Ohnishi and her diagarams and photos are very helpful Thanks for your help

Hi Michiko. I bought a stand for my frame like this one by P and G enterprises:http://www.pandgenterprises.com/japaneseframes.htm" target="_blank">
The stand comes apart for travel and fits in my suitcase when I fly to class at the Japanese Embroidery Centre in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. There are pegs at the end that insert into the frame to hold it in place when stitching. I am quite pleased with this frame and stand set up and have had my stand since 2000. Hope that helps.

PS--I am not sure that the link will come out OK. I used the hyperlink feature on the "comment" toolbar. If it does not come out as a link, I would appreciate coaching on how to become more computer literate! Thanks in advance.

Hi Michiko, I think the stand you're looking for can be found at www.jewproducts.com On Chin is so nice to work with and I really like my stand. It can be taken apart easily by unscrewing a few knobs and it lies pretty flat for travel. There are pictures, descriptions and prices of his products on the website and mine was delivered within a week of ordering. Jeanne

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a light -weight japanese embroidery frame stand which is a trestle design,held rigid by two strips of wood laid on top and held in place by hooked ends. The embroidery frame is placed on top.
Do you know where I might get one?

Hi Jennifer! I'm up in the Seattle area, about a 5 hour drive from Eugene. I'm probably the closest to you where we have an active JE group. The next closest would be Lynda Patterson in the Bay area. Unfortunately the listing from the JE teachers is somewhat deceptive - both Kay Stanis and Diane Nicholson have taught here, they don't live here (Kay is in Wisconsin and Diane in Regina, Canada.

However we do have at least one JE class each year through our EGA chapter. Most years we have Kay, and in April 2010 we will have Mary Alice Sinton from the Houston area. Mary Alice is a certified JE teacher and you can easily start your study with Phase I then. We also try to do weekend stitchins at my house once every month or two...in fact we will be doing it this coming weekend. Everyone comes over and spends the night so we get the maximum stitching time.

I hope this info helps, and I would love to speak more to you about it if you like. You can contact me directly at needlearts@comcast.net.

Pamela
