These are on sale at harbor freight right ( tool store) now for 1.99.
For sandwiching a quilt on a table for basting most people use large binder clips.
My husband suggested these ( he had some in his shed) because you can adjust them
a great deal for size.
I was thinking about going to get some of them. I tried one out on my table and they hold very securely and lock and unlock.
What do you think?
These clamps are too big and bulky (cumbersome). You will be fighting them. Mandyrose posted a photo of the clamps that are easy and hold the fabric very well. Again, you must have a thin table top for these, but they are preferable to me. I would rather invest in the correct table (Office Depot, etc) than try to fight these large clamps. I have tried some similar clamps and they don't hold the fabric in place very well because they don't clamp on the table correctly. These clamps are "men clamps"...hahahaha
