I use them on my Innova but have found they catch at the first till they past the deadbar. Of course I could make my backing longer but I hate to waste any more fabric than I have too. And yes, the fabric I trim off afterwards does go back into my scrap pile so its not really wasted, is it?

I'm looking into the magnetic strips at Harbor Freight for use on the belly bar as I like to float my quilts. Usually I just add a few straight pins along the bar. On my old frame I was able to find some PVC "C" clamps to attach to the belly bar but haven't been able to find them for the larger diameter pole I have now. Any clues folks?
