Quilt Clamp Info

Jannette's Professional Quilt Clamp works on all backing fabrics, including Minky.

Specifications:

Top and bottom shells and strap bracket are made of high grade sheet aluminum.
- Precision stamped for size, holes, and slots, and accurately formed by a US company.
- Shells are premium powder coated by a local company.
- Total weight of the quilt clamp is approximately 6.5 ounces. (First class mail is up to 1 ounce per stamp.)
Double action lever is solid brass
- Precision stamped by the same US company as the shells.
- Lever securely latches the shells together for attachment and opens it wide to over 2 inches for quick capture of the fabric when applying the clamp.
  - The wide slots are engineered to allow the lever to angle just right to get the big-mouth (2" +) opening that can go over any fabric quickly.
Solid brass rivets and steel pins purchased from a US source.
Miniature hinges are solid brass.
The edge of the shells have a high traction foam tape to provide a strong grip on the backing fabric.
Each tension strap is six feet long with a quality elastic strip for constant tension and a Velcro section for easy attachment to the frame.
Shell is 18 inches wide.
Clamps (strap included) are sold as pairs to allow balance on both sides.

Here's how it works:

Initial installation - simply:
- Open the wide mouth with the brass lever.
- Easily slip it over the backing fabric.
- Press the brass lever down to latch shut.
- Pull the Velcro strap to provide tension with the elastic section.
- Secure the Velcro strap onto the Velcro hook tape on your stand's frame. (Hook tape may be easily applied if your machine does not have it.)
The clamp will provide uniform leveling on the fabric with its special high traction foam rubber grips on the lips of the clamp.
Once the Velcro strap position on the frame has been established for this quilt, it does not need to be changed again until the next quilt:
Secure the batting and piecework across the top and then up the sides with your machine.
Advance the quilt "sandwich" by rolling.
- Just release the clamp pressure and set the clamp on the table.
- Roll the quilt.
- Lift the brass lever.
- Slip the clamp on again.
- Latch with the brass lever.
- Resume securing, or quilting.
Repeat the above to secure the quilt sandwich, including basting from side to side and return to the top.
Proceed to quilt rows, custom quilting, or whatever you desire - all while rolling quickly from one section to another with Jannette's quick action clamp.
