How to fasten the quilt to the bars on the Dritz quilt frame? Need Help Please

He put it together, I cleaned it and lemon oiled it and it looks fantastic. How to fasten the quilt to the bars? There are multiple little tack holes in the bars so I assume that was how it was done way back. Does anyone know, other than C clamps, how to anchor the quilt without damaging the fabric? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. This just proves that being a "pack rat" can sometimes prove to be a good thing.
Thanks, Crafty Bear. I'll do that, makes more sense to do it that way.
actually, the more sensible thing would be to edit the title of this topic so it's all together in one place. if you need help with that, any moderator can help.
in fact ... i just did. :lol:
