    LOL, that's called the special touch and only the maker would really notice that it was a mistake, anyone else would say it was unique. :)

    Actually I'm trying to think how to verbally describe them. Is it the monkey wrench? Pipe wrench? In the older metal versions It was a long shaft with a head with teeth on it. There was a second piece with teeth that you moved up and down the shaft so you could clamp it around a pipe. They are probably also called C clamps. The new Plastic versions have a trigger instead of a screw area to move the two clamp pieces together.

    I have a drapery rod hanging in the spare bedroom, with curtain rings and clips to hang the quilts from.

    I use skirt hangers and hang them across my folding cupboard doors in the bedroom.

    i pin them to the drapes over the sliding glass door, that usually works. we do not have rain gutters, but my mom does, and i would be afraid of pulling them away from her house. i have been trying to figure out a way to fasten a quilt to the garage door for pictures, but so far have not figured out the perfect tool for the job. my next finished quilt i think i'm going to really splurge and take it to a photographer :)

    I was worried about the weight on the gutters before I tried it. But then saw that they actually had a wedge shaped piece behind them that kept them from falling down. I've also used T-pins to hold quilts up on the outside wood areas of wherever I am when I take the pix. They are thick though so may not be appropriate for every quilt. The C-clamps I talked about are sooo versatile that it's just a matter of finding places where they'll work
