Use these clamps on longarm, midarm, and shortarm machines.
NEW - Elastic is now integrated into the straps for easier reclamping after advancing the quilt. Strap is reversible if you do not want to use the elastic.
LIGHTWEIGHT: Only 1.3 ounces/pair. They will not pull down on your quilt edge.

WIDE (8 1/2"): Provides even tension across your fabric edge. This reduces side distortion.

THIN: Will not interfere with your extended throat plate or the edge of your machine. No more bumping into the clamps. Quilt right up to the edge of the clamp.

EASY: Snaps on with a pinch of your finger and thumb.

Strap is 72" Long.
NOTE: These clamps are designed to attach onto one layer of fabric. They do not clamp onto batting.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BEST RESULTS:
This method will provide even tension on all three quilt layers.

1. Baste the top of your quilt along the sides to secure the top and batting to the back of your quilt.

2. Clip the clamps onto the quilt backing.

3. Gently pull the straps to the side. As soon as you feel the slightest pressure on the strap, lay it onto the velcro strip. This will support the side of your quilt without causing distortion. (DO NOT Torture your quilt by stretching it sideways.)

4. Quilt as desired.

5. Advance your quilt.

6. Repeat 1 to 5. Baste as you go after each time you advance the quilt.

I love these clamps

Dorothy Miller (Quincy, CA) 1/19/2010 12:15 PM

I've tried every clamp out there and always come back to these. I'm back to order another set because I broke the part where the strap attaches (happy to see you've reinforced that). Many other clamps hold as well as these, but they are all so heavy. In my opinion, these are the best!

Clamps are fragile

The clamps are great, although you have to be careful about putting on too much tension as the straps connect to a very fragile part of the plastic. But we like them so much we are ordering a replacement for one that we broke. Note: We have added a reinforcement to improve the strength of the strap attachment point.

Great Quilting Clamps

I just purchased these clamps and I am loving them. The best part is that they don't get hooked up on the machine when sewing close to the edge and I won't have to use my broomsticks anymore. I will use them to stake up my tomato plants. Anyway they are great and every longarmer should own a couple of pairs. Mary G

Love the Featherlight Clamps

I bought the featherlight clamps for my A-1 and love them. After using the clamps a couple of times it is easy to put them on your quilt and take them off. They do not hang up or get in the way of my extended base plate. So far a 2 thumbs up!
