NIce idea - sometimes the older items are the best.

Mary Frances sewing book, anyone? :)

There are repros but you can find old ones at antique stores and online at places like ebay and rubylane.

Sorry, I don't have a picture of mine. My camera broke but, I will see if I can take a picture of it with my phone. Mine isn't old, it is a clamp that fits on the table Then there is a piece if cord with a clamp on the end of it.

I don't know what you have .... but it's sounding an awful lot like clamps you can get in a hardware store.

Could you please show us a picture of yours? and how it works?
Thanks!
