I needed the bungie claps for the ends of my quilting frames. I looked them up on the Grace quilt frame site. They were $50+. Now mind you I am all for using the correct tools. But I am also for saving money when possible. When I explained to DH what I needed he went to Harbor Freight and bought mini clamps and bungie cords. This was the results. Yeah, I love it when I save money. I know maybe they are not as large, but hey if it works it works.
