Prism99 - Those clamps do come in various sizes but I think the ones you got are the same ones I have because they were $1 each. It's like having a few more pairs of hands, lol!
jojo47 - That's the correct address. I would get the $1 ones. The different sizes have a different size "bite", if that makes sense to you. Thanks
Elisabrat - Thanks for your help. I have some quilter's basting spray but you have to be real careful using that stuff because it leaves sticky residue on everything. I use it sometimes with embroidery stabilizer but I lay it inside a box before I spray to catch the excess and it's still messy.
I have a bad back so I knew I couldn't lay it on the floor because I would never have been able to get back up...and that's the truth! LOL!! I think I'm just going to make an elastic ironing cover to fit my cutting board...or at least put it on my list of "things to do"!
