Peggy (SewAsylum) Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Today my husband and I put up a system over my Tiara to support the quilt so it is not always falling into my lap, creating a drag. We put eye hooks in ceiling, suspended 2 bungee cords, and put a strong clamp on the ends. He drilled a hole thru the clamps so I could put them on the cord hooks. Now I can clamp up my quilt, a few inches above the table, to support it!! The bungee cords are adjustable. It is fabulous and cost VERY little, maybe $14. I may put up one or two more since there is another stud up in the ceiling. I saw people on the internet do this, and Leah Day, and you can check out a portable system you can buy called Jennoop. There is also one shown on the "Piece of Cake" blog. I think this is really going to help me and I hope it helps you. I am not affiliated with any of these people, just a good idea.

Peggy (SewAsylum) Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Update: the spring clips don't seem to be strong enough to hold the quilt bulk in front. I am going to replace these with ratchet clips. They are easy to handle and not hard on the hands, and they hold well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy (SewAsylum) Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Will try to post pics when I get it updated with new clamps. Don't know how to do that, but I will figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
