that is a great idea thanks

Thank you so much for posting this! I am going to try this on my set-up! :)

That's a great tip! Thanks...

This place is amazing... I learn something new every day.

Eddie - that's just ingenious!
Thanks for sharing :)

Great Idea!!! I've just got my HQ Avanta and I could use all the inside tips I can get. LOL.. nothing like doing something new and getting frustrated by something that can be fixed simply.

Thanks for sharing

What a great idea, thank-you so much!

Great idea. I am tired of the pinning, too

Thanks for the great idea. I've been having a problem in that area too.

I bought the Featherlight Side Clamps from www.quiltshop.us a few years ago and they are wonderful if you only clamp the backing as I do. They are light weight and about 9 inches long with elastic and velcro that attaches them to the frame. They do a great job. I think now they come in a 14 inch size also.

Thanks for the tip, Eddie. Someone else had said something about wooden rulers, but I like the flatness of the paint sticks!
