flosstube 2 millenium and quantum frame comparison 

glad you liked it :) good luck with making your choice for a new frame :)

yea, who knows maybe they've gotten that waiting time down, but at least you have an idea what to expect :)

Looks like I'm going to have to practice patience as with internal UK postage the Millenium frame will work out to be less expensive.

sorry i missed your comment, but thanks for watching :) the millenium frame is worth the wait, i hope it will not be too long for you :)

You are welcome. the video is a few years old by now and I think I did hear that Omanik had a factory refurbishment that caused a bit of a waiting list, but haven't heard any complaints.

Hi, i'm glad i could help i tried to present the fact and be impartial, because i do like both frames and both have their own pros and cons. Hope you'll enjoy your frame! happy stitching ;)

thank you, i tried not to give an opinion but just share my experiences and let people make up their own mind. I enjoy working with both frames :)

Glad you liked it :) Good luck in picking your next frame

Hi Jean :) thank you very much!

you're welcome!

yes the millennium one does take quite a while to arive so it's a good way to practice patience :) and as i said the waiting time varies greatly from what i've heard from other stitchers. Good luck with making the choice :)

that is good to know, i'll try and add it to the video. Yes i love both frames, but the waiting for the millenium one is what stops me from getting more of those

wow, that's insane. I keep saying: I don't mind waiting, but I do mind paying for something and then not being informed on the waiting time.

wow that's the first i've heard that a milennium frame has been thrown out, thanks for sharing! I'm not familiar with the Freedom Frame, will keep an eye out :)

Hi Sandra, i'm glad this was helpful for you. I think Orietta recently showed some more on the quantum frames with more recent information, it might be interesting for you as well. For a stand i use the stitchmaster floor stand. For my stitchy spot that works the best for me :) Good luck with making up your mind on what frames you want :)

i use the stitchmaster stand, faerie floss has a review of that on her flosstube channel if you want to check it out :)

you're welcome! Good luck waiting, they are worth it imo. I'd love to hear how you like the millenium frame :)

Hi Joan, thanks for watching! Lots of questions so here goes: I dont know why i have a Scandinavian name, my sister does too. I guess my parents just liked them. Over here its not uncommon to have names from other languages like english or french. For the frames i can honestly say that i like them both but as i said in the video the main difference is the customer service and the wait time. I've ordered some more frames since then and they were from Omanik, because i like the quality and the service and i didnt want to wait an unkown amount of months for my order to come.

HI Carrie, i have not tried that much, the reason being that i cant get the tension right when i fold in the edges of the fabric. I've not had it warp from that (i have had it warp from using tent stitch, but that was no problem), but i also havent done that long term on any project (as i said i dont like the lesser tension with the folded over fabric)

from what I have seen, it is better to get a bigger frame than to fold it. (owner of a quantum from omanik)

I rest it on a stand, I think most people do. A frame is quite heavy to hold, not at all like a q-snap for instance. I think resting it against the table would not give you much room to get your hands behind it for two handed stitching, but I've never tried. A lot of people use the lowery stand, you have to clamp your frame onto the stand. Mine is a basic wooden floor stand (I think it's called a stitchmaster) where I just lay the frame on the stand (no clamping)

@@AStitchTooFar Thanks Ingeborg, that really helps. I've just seen the new stand from the Omanik factory on ig, very tempting.

you're welcome ;)

Hang in there! yours will come too! Just no idea when :/ Thanks for sharing!

Dat is inderdaad erg kort Desiree, het laatste dat ik hoorde was ruim 18 maanden, dat is wel erg lang en de website zegt nog steeds dat alles 'op voorraad' is. Dat is eigenlijk mijn grootste probleem met deze leverancier, als ze zouden zeggen: je komt op de wachtlijst en je hoort zsm, dan vind ik dat een stuk eerlijker dan nu al laten betalen voor iets dat je misschien over een jaar krijgt. En nee voor zover ik weet passen de Omanik en Needle Needs onderdelen niet op elkaar, helaas.

thanks for sharing Bob, it's all in the 'but' isn't it?

Hi Magdalena, I think the main difference is that with the 'common' roller frame you have to sew the fabric onto the frame and then roll it up. WIth the millenium and quantum frame you don't sew the fabric but secure it in that slot with the rod. It makes it a lot more easy to switch out projects on your frames. I hope that makes sense. The only other difference i can think of is that the millennium and quantum frame are quite sturdy and heavy compared to most 'common' scroll frames. I would recommende using a frame stand when you use these frames, other scroll frames you might still be able to stitch in hand

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and explain. It helped me alot in making my decision and noted of your advise. I will be buying a Lowry stand, heard that it is one of the best so far and not so cumbersome. Thank you again!

Hi Donna, i dont have any other mail adress, but you could try Orietta Stitches here on RU-vid, she has close contacts with Omanik. I have 50cm (about 19 inch) and 60 cm (about 23 inch) horizontal bars, A regular fat quarter will fit nicely on a 50 cm bar with the long side of the fabric vertically (portrait orientation), so i would suggest that if you stitch a lot of ladies/mermaids like the Mirabilias. i don't do full coverage so that's about as big as i need for my projects. I'd advise you to get the small vertical scroll bars 15/20 cm because otherwise you'd be reaching too much most likely. Orietta has the 90cm bars i think. Check out her FAQ video she did a while ago here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qhw3kFeu7uI.html

Thank you!

Hi Debra, I've never weighed them but they are both the same size and made of wood and i don't feel a significant difference in the weight. Also i use a stand to lay the frame on when i stitch, i don't hold the frame in hand when i stitch. Hope that answers your question, happy stitching!

A Stitch Too Far thank you for the additional information. I was wondering if the plastic on the Quantum frame made it significantly lighter.

I don't think so

Ieder zijn stijl he :) ik heb mijn ring al jaren niet meer gebruikt, ik zou nu kramp in mijn hand krijgen denk ik :P

Hope you like your omanik frame :) I have heard the wait times are still very long even today so hope Omanik is still faster (I know their wait times have gone up since they have been found by flosstube)
