Better is as I said, our own Fred !
http://www.stitchaway.com/
I have one and can vouch for the fact that it is lovely to look at,
and really works as regards holding your fabric really, really taut.
It's a clever design, everything is held tight by two strips of heavy
plastic which do not really show in the diagram. It can be adjusted
as regards size of fabric it will hold.
It's really high tech innovative design, I've always thought Fred
needs to market more. I bought one and when I was back here and
other Guild members saw it, they ordered pdq ! If you also use a
stand, it's heaven.
Did I say I looooove my Fred stitchaway ???

One of Fred's large frames and a EEEE stand was my gift to myself upon
moving into a house without wheels. I had no room for one while we
lived all those years in the RV. Actually it is a good thing I waited
the EEEE was not available when I first looked at their website. I am
getting the hang of putting fabric in the frame. It does take a
little practice. I sure like the way the new stand works. Swing it
away from my chair when I get up and swing it back when ready to
resume stitching.

I haven't got around to writing the next set of helpful hints but in a few
words if you clamp a medium wattage light (halogen?) to the pedestal of the
EEEE a little below your fabric mount it makes Black work or any other
project a whole lot easier. You needle shines like a little diamond as you
search for the proper hole to bring your floss up from the back to the
front.
Gotta get the drawings for the EEEE brought up to date before we cut wood
again.
Time to let the secret out - EEEE means "For Ease" of stitching.

I like the fact that, if the edges of your needlework fabric are
neatened up in some way, you can just leave your finished needlework in
the FANTASTIC StitchAway Fabric Mount and display it with the little
holder thingies Fred makes! The Fabric Mount **IS** a thing of beauty
