Light weight side clamps that hold securely and evenly. see video SOLD AS A PAIR.
This straight firm edge gets you ready to quilt without a scalloped edge on your quilt. If you use just one or two side clamps, you likely get a spot where the fabric is pulled. When you release that clamp, your quilt edge will have a waggle in it. No one wants that!
Eliminate the wiggly side edge by clamping the side with one long straight clamp. They come in 12”, 16” and 19”. Use 12” on any machine less than 20” throat. Use 16” on any machine less than 26” throat. Use 19” on any machine over 26”. If the clamp is too long it makes it difficult to move the machine over the edge to change the bobbin. So choose the longest clamp that still allows you a little wiggle room on the side to escape. Another tip is to attach the clamp to the backing close to the take up roller so all the extra wiggle room is in the front so you can move the machine over to change bobbins.
These clamps weigh only 1 1/2 oz and pinch the edge of the fabric tightly to allow you to add side tension to the entire exposed edge.
Note: they are stiff the first few uses but become easier with practice and use. Open and close them starting with one end and working toward the other. Watch the video here to see it done. It can seem tricky at first 😉
Be careful that you do not roll the quilt with the clamps attached. They are rigid and this will cause the clamp to split.
