    Default Name of Quilt poles?

    Does anyone know the name of the bendable poles with clips on them, that help hold quilt edges out of the way while you quilt? They make a kind of 'tent' of the edges of the quilt, to prevent drag. They seem especially useful for mid arm sit down machines, like my sweet 16... I haven't seen them advertised for quite a while and would like to consider getting some.... Any leads??

    Remember that using these suspension systems also depends on the amount of excess lip on your sewing table. The table legs on my sewing table are too close to the overhang lip to have enough room to tighten the system down enough. It's best to have a table that is free from such obstruction.

    You're probably thinking of PVC pipe, with corner joins and end pieces, from the hardware store, You would have to add clamps on ribbon strips to hold the quilt.
