Poor Man's Stitching Pony

Recommended Posts

I can handle mold of my stitching freehand, but sometimes it needs to be held, like this double layer 9 oz stiff chrome tanned. Not having a pony, I scrounged around the shop and came up with this solution.

Yes, the thread get caught in the handles, but after the third time you learn to drape it carefully.

I like it!

You could slide flexible tubing over the ends of the handles when in use to prevent the thread from getting caught up.

That clamp has potential. I used the hardware of that clamp to make my stitching horse.

A lot of stitching ponies are quite flimsy. That clamp is anything but flimsy.

You could also put a hinge across the bottom and remove the top screw which would give you a deeper throat.

I like it. Good idea for a portable table top stitchin' pony. The clamps can be useful for other things as well.
