Lacis Professional Embroidery/Tambour Frame

i was a little worried to order this but it’s honestly not bad at all. it took about 15 minutes to put together. having to use the rubber bands to brace the legs to the frame is interesting lol but so far no complaints. i just hope they don’t wear out over time.

I was looking at other, larger frames for tambour embroidery on Etsy that are a dream but outside of my budget. This one is one of the larger ones I found on Amazon, and so far so good! It’s got a very small wobble, hardly noticeable while I’m working. It doesn’t have any features to tilt it or attach it to the end of a table for easier use, so I’ll have to get creative about setting it up for comfortable long term use.

Arrived on time. More than what I expected! Great material not splintered. Very easy construction! I'm teaching myself how to tambour. 😀

I was so looking forward to using this frame. A lot of research went into my choice. This was a refurbished purchase that just came across my path. I thought I would save some money (great for someone on a tight budget). Long way to return it. I'm afraid to purchase another one because this was not taken off the shelf when it was retuned..

Good quality useful and it delivered on time

Real good wood

I’ve wanted to try tambour embroidery for a long time so I finally decided to get this frame. There was no mention of rubber bands in the description and in the photo, it wasn’t clear that rubber bands are used. So, I ordered it. To my dismay, it has rubber bands included in the package of parts you need to put it together. Not a problem for most people but when you’re allergic to latex and rubber, this is a huge problem. I will have to find an alternative method to use this. Luckily, they were packaged separately from the rest of the frame with the exception of some bolts and butterfly wing nuts. I plan on reaching out to Lacis to see if they can send replacement parts to me. Otherwise, I will have to send this back. If I had known that it contained the rubber bands, I would not have ordered this particular frame. There are other options out there for tambour embroidery frames. So far this has been a disappointment.

Versatile and easy to use when you follow the directions. I use it with this so I can work in a comfortable chair in the evening. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YZ7M0W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
