What kind of clamps? This sounds really interesting. Getting down on all fours to pin a quilt is getting harder and harder.
I bought 2 sets of these clamps and boy I have to say they are the best investments I ever made and my back loves me for it......LOL!

The nice thing about these clamps is that they open really wide so they would fit the side of just about any table.
