I used large gator clips from office supply stores.

Found these on Amazon. Think I'll give them a try. Thanks for the tip.

Measure the rim width of the table first. The first set of clips I got wouldn't open far enough to hold the quilt and fit over the rim. It took a much bigger size then I thought.

Thanks. I ordered these from Amazon and they are PERFECT. Fit the edge of my folding table and much easier to squeeze than some I've seen. You're a life saver!

I use white plastic tablecloth clips to hold my quilt backing onto the table. I used to use bulldog clips from Office Max, but they were too hard to open far enough to fit the table. I baste on my cutting table, which is about an inch thick. These plastic clips are so easy for me to put on and take off.
