mcadwell, I wish I still had my quilt clips, I would gladly send them to you - I'm always sorry after I do a major purge!
That said, I *do* sometimes roll up the quilt to put on borders or binding. I don't use anything to hold it, I just throw the roll over my shoulder and let it feed onto the big table behind my machine. I cover the table with a plastic shower curtain so it will just slide along.
The bulk of the quilt is to the left of the needle and you only need a quarter inch of space to the right of it.
No struggling at all with edge work.
