I ordered my Lowery today!
Pat Porter
about keeping your eye on the base - make sure that it doesn`t gradually
sneak out from under your chair foot from the tiny movememt of you getting
up and down! Does the Dazor light clamp to the stand, or is it free
standing? If it clamps to the stand you`ll DEFINITELY have to watch that
sneakily moving foot!
Anyway I hope you get years of pleasure from your Lowery! Welcome aboard
the Lowery Club! Are you having the stainless steel one or the plain metal
one? The stainless one I imagine - working out the dollars to sterling it
works out the same price as mine, almost exactly.
John bought me a nice fairly high and straightish backed Wing chair - it`s
SOoo COMFORTABLE. (Antique red leather - so I`m not tempted to stick needles
in the arm!)

I got my Sealy Glider Rocker with the Ottoman for under $400.00 which was a
better price than I found anywhere else. I got it at Furniture Kingdom in
gainesville, FL. They also have other Sealy chairs that are not Glider rockers.

the chair on it! It doesn`t happen THAT often - just something to remember,
especially if you wriggle a lot like I do! Anyway, you`ll soon find what`s
best for you. My chair`s got space under it (And queen Anne legs - only not
TERRIBLY curved) - I usually keep my thread boxes under it - and all sorts
of other things get plonked there too.
I just have one of those small clip-on lamps - I clip it onto one of the
screw levers - or even onto my frame, sometimes. I have the corner clamp -
it holds really big frames without wobbling (it will accomodate pretty much
anything you try to put in it! It has a lovely big depth) I`m thinking of
getting the other clamp they do though (side clamp)- I think it was Shirley
Shone was telling me about it, particularly as my designs are quite big. In
fact, it`s all your fault - I think I`ll give Mr. Lowery a ring in the
morning!
Oh yes, I`ve heard many tales of the fearsome Martha Stewart, LOL!
Have fun - when do you get it?

I had one of the lights but found it a bit top heavy, so I changed it
for a Discount lighting halogen low heat one. However I did find that
when working on the extreme right of a wide frame that my own hands was
causing a shadow on the place I was stitching. So I got the floor stand
for my halogen light. I can put that at the opposite side of my chair.
Also I can take it to the table when I am doing parchment crafts. Much
more versatile.

Mine is the cheaper one too, and the corner clamp came with it. Thinking
of getting the side clamp.
I used mine with my Parker Knoll recliner chair. I can get my feet up.

Hi
I found the same thing as Shirley - that my hand caused a shadow when
using the stand for my light fixture. So I use an independent light stand
and the Lowery stand is well balanced without having to fix it under
your chair (I also use a reclining/balance chair, so there is nothing for
the stand to fix under). If you have the base of the stand facing the
same way as your framed piece you're working on, the weight is
counter balanced and there's no problem.

stand up it can become unbalanced especially with a large frame on it. and
if you have the base under the chairleg as they recommend, it`s naturally
facing the same way as the frame.

The side clamp will do what she said it would do. In fact if you work
with your left underneath it will probably be better than the corner
clamp.
Cheaper does mean really cheaper. The metal used is not as expensive as
stainless steel. Although it is the same design but not as shiny. I
could not afford the SS one and if I could have done I would have still
got the cheaper one. They both do the same job. Money left over for the
extras. Like the chart holder and the gizmo that as the pincushion and
holds other bits and pieces.

that , except for the covered legs, sounds just like you wish.
Unfortunately my DDad had it upholstered in red leather, ( or naugahyde, I
don't know,) and it's fine for a brief sitdown but not so nice over long
periods in the summer. The chair stays, and maybe when I'm 7011,(my
granddaughter's estimation of my age,) I'll have it recovered, so that my
kids can mourn my choice<VBG>

I wouldn't think it would make that much a difference to the stitcher unless
the stitching was being done in a rust prone area. :-))) If it's that damp,
it's probably not good for the stitching anyway. :-)))))

I could have afforded the stainless one if I wanted, but opted for the not
stainless model. Your vendor is right in that there is no quality
difference. Now whether it is worth the extra for stainless is a matter for
each stitcher to decide for them self - I don't care how shiny my stand is.

would always opt for stainless steel in most things (saucepans, garden
tools, etc.) given the choice and have certainly proved the wisdom of the
extra expense over the years.....but since you`ve gone you won`t read this

All I said was that the stainless stand was not any stronger than the
ordinary steel stand and all this ensued. Got any idea why?

I think that someone posts from Victoria B.C., and that is included in her sig
line. When you're zipping through the newsgroup at 90 mph So-and so from
Victoria B.C. can look a lot like Victoria. Which is probably why I thought
Victoria (the person) was in Canada until she posted about Austin...getting one
of those other posts confused with hers.
By the way, I have to agree with Victoria...I think Michael's does inflate
prices. I very seldom go there for supplies...Hobby Lobby is almost always
cheaper.
