Default New Side Clamps

I haven't been happy with my side clamps. The first one's I ordered wouldn't hold butter. The new ones have great grip but the handels do not allow smooth motion to the ends. For some reason because all I have is a mid arm I never thought to check out ideas on long arm sites/blogs. What I ended up doing was buying 4 metal braces 12.5" x 1/4. One on top one on the bottom both ends than clamped toward the ends, it works easy to get to the side of the quilt without interference. The other suggestion from a long arm blod was raising the clamps by inserting a curtain rod or yard stick under the bungee cords resting them on the front and back rail.
