   Make sure that however you stain or finish the wood, it's not something that can come off and stain the fabric, which will be under pressure in contact with it for long periods of time.

   Look at the chair she usually works in and make sure that the legs of the chair and the foot of the stand cooperate.

   On wheels, for ease of getting it up to your chair to work on it?

   I bought a commercially produced one several years ago that my husband finished for me. The assembly for holding the hoop made sure to leave plenty of clearance for my hands to work from the underneath.

   Make sure that any hardware for adjusting height, tension, etc., is friendly for senior hands.
