Learn to set up a folding stand for your Prym magnet board. This guide covers unfolding, attaching the board, adjusting angle, and storage tips for embroidery patterns.

Quick Answer

To use a folding stand for your magnet board, unfold the stand, attach the board securely, and adjust the angle to your preferred viewing position for embroidery or stitching patterns.

Why Use a Folding Stand?

A folding stand lets you position your magnet board vertically or horizontally, freeing both hands for stitching. It also folds flat for easy storage when not in use.

What to Watch For

The stand is designed specifically for the Prym magnet board. Using it with a different board may not provide a stable fit. Also, the stand is made of plastic, so avoid over-tightening or forcing the hinges.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

  1. Unfold the Stand: Remove the stand from its flat storage position and unfold it completely until the legs lock into place. The hinges should click or feel secure. If the legs feel loose, check that they are fully extended and locked.
  2. Attach the Magnet Board: Place your Prym magnet board onto the stand’s mounting surface. The board should fit snugly into the grooves or clips. Press gently to ensure it is seated evenly. Do not force the board; if it doesn't fit, it may not be the correct model.
  3. Adjust the Angle: Tilt the stand to your desired viewing angle—vertical for reading patterns or horizontal for a wider workspace. The stand holds the position without additional locking. Test the stability before releasing the board; adjust if the stand tips.
  4. Secure Your Pattern: Use magnets or clips to attach your embroidery or stitching pattern to the board. Position the pattern so it stays flat and visible while you work. Make sure magnets are strong enough to hold the pattern without slipping.
  5. Fold for Storage: When finished, remove the board and collapse the stand flat. Store it in a drawer or on a shelf until your next project. Folding the stand flat prevents damage and saves space.
