I use the 14" Quick snap most of the time and sometimes at the edge I just clamp 3 of the 4 sides. Other times I freehand it. I love working with the Quick Snap handhelds..Mine was over 10 years old and was getting weak..actually found you can order replacement clamps for all the models...So, I guess I have at least 10 more years to go on it!

I've had good luck safety pinning a hand towel to the edge that I'm working on. It's quick to do and undo. Just make sure there is no pin where the outer hoop fits onto the inner hoop.

I have used scrap fabric in the past but I LOVE your hoop sleeve Daffy!!

I usually just let the edge 'float' in the hoop - no extra fabric to pin to. Seems to work fine for me. A friend has offered me her 'edge hoop' but so far I've not used it. Looked at one a long time ago and didn't want to spend the $$ for it.

There is a method using heavy rubber bands and long pins to tighten the edge.

Daffy, I also love your quilt hoop sleeve - what a great idea! Can't wait to make one!
|
I would add strips of fabric to the edges so that you can fit enough work space to quilt.
