This is called an EZ Stitch stand. I have tried many stands, and spent hundreds of dollars on them but I find this the best one by far. It fits comfortably between your legs and you sit on the wooden bottom. I like it because it keeps my work close to me, and I can, very comfortably use both hands to pull the thread through on both sides of the fabric. The frame works fairly well. I don't stitch my cloth to the dowels like you can on some frames. I prefer to use cloth first aid tape to attatch my fabric. It doesn't leave any residue on the cloth, and it allows me to keep the fabric very taut.
I use a Daylight lamp with the separate floor stand. Once again it was a little pricey, but worth every penny. I find that the magnifying glass is extremely helpful in making those pesky 1/2 and 3/4 stitches. Also if my eyes get tired I can always use the magnifier to stitch the rest of the project I'm working on.
This LoRan Magnetic Board is a life saver in helping me keep track of where I am on my pattern. I also have the largest one which is very handy for those larger patterns. I have the magnifying line keeper but I don't like it as much as I do just using the plain magnets to keep my place. I use several to hold my pattern in place, and then I take one, and flip it over so the magnetic side is up, this allows for easy movement around the pattern without forcing the magnet, and it makes it very simple to keep track.
I use the Pako Needle Holder to keep track of my needles and floss. It is very convenient because I don't have to constantly rethread, and change needles as often. It allows for 40 different needles with replaceable cardboard inserts where you can mark your pattern symbols to keep track of them. This also keeps me from using the armrest of my recliner as a pin cushion.
I use the StitchBow Floss Organizer to keep all of my floss stored. It uses unique floss bobbins that don't stretch out your threads, and it keeps them in their original shape and condition. Unlike cardboard thread bobbins you can easily put your floss onto the bobbin without any winding. The convenient carrying case makes it easy to take your projects along with you wherever you go.
