The 2 center prongs go either behind or in front of the pages and binding of the book and the outer 2 go in the opposite position (behind or in front of the pages). If there is a quilting use for it, I am not aware, but am open for suggestions...if I could just remember where I put mine! ;-)
Totally correct. I ordered one a few years ago with my initials engraved on it. I love it when I'm playing the piano out of large books. It makes it easier to keep the book open. :) Haven't found a quilting use yet.
