I Want to Borrow Kathy's Dad
When you see all the work Kathy's dad did to make her floor stand more stable so she could use slate frames on them, you will want to borrow him, too!

Slate frames are large and heavy. You can see one being set up here by Mary Corbert.

Here is the NeedleNeeds website in case you wish to explore their floor stands. This is a United Kingdom company, by the way, which is why they aren't a familiar name to needlepointers in the States.
