Here are 2 things that might help.<br />1- Being an engineer you will apprciate this gizmo; There are these circular plastic clamps that you can buy in a set of 8. Sorry I don't remember their name. There kind of like those plastic braclets that you can slip onto your arm and then they snug up because the plastic has a 'memory'. Any way, I have found they really come in handy when you want to put something on your frame in a hurry and you are not working too close to the edge. I can send you a picture.<br />2- Basting a copeing strip on one side or more of your top and making the backing and batting larger to accomodate allows for a 'practise bar' all the way along as you roll through the quilt. I do this on tops that are really special, have a lot of bias edges or something where I need to try a lot of patterns. 'hope that help. Happy Holidays!
