Description of Quilt Clamp Operation
- Lifting the brass lever opens the jaws of the clamp.
- (The wide slot around the lever allows the lever to shift in a slight counterclockwise fashion to accommodate a jaw opening of over 2 inches.)
- Easily slip the clamp over the edge of the backing and bring the jaws together by pressing the brass lever toward the top jaw.
- When the lever is pressed to bring it parallel to the jaw it will be latched and firmly gripping the backing.
- The vertical backside of the jaws between the edge and the first hinge has a taper that allows the backing to curve through the back edge of the clamp in case the top or bottom of the backing has a sharp curve.
- Bring the Velcro (loop surface) strap over the side of the stand frame and give a moderate pull. Then lower the strap to hook into the Velcro (hook surface) on the frame.
- When ready to roll the quilt and reposition, just lift the brass lever to release the clamp's grip and set the clamp on the table surface.
- After rolling the quilt, just reposition the clamp on the backing and latch it. You are ready to resume quilting.
- The strap does not need to be adjusted because you reapplied the tension when you brought the clamp back to the backing.
