I do not use them when quilting on my domestics. On my domestics I use them for when I’m sewing the binding on a large quilt.
However, when I am quilting a large quilt on my Sweet Sixteen I
do use them because it helps me keeep them from sliding off the ends of my table. What I do in that case is roll the part in back of the needle and put a quilt clip on toward either end. Then I roll the part in front of the needle and put a quilt clip toward either end. Then when I’m working at one end of the quilt, I can fold the other end up and keep it from hanging off the edge of my table. I can easily quilt a very large quilt this way without stressing my shoulders and for me it’s quicker than puddling since I don’t have to stop and adjust the quilt constantly. It wouldn’t work on a domestic because the harp space isn’t big enough to both roll and fold at the same time
