Tired of heavy, hard-to-squeeze and use side clamps for your Longarm / Midarm quilting machine? Or clamps that grip and pull on only an inch or two of the quilt thereby distorting the side of the quilt? No more! The Grip-Lite side clamps are super lightweight providing a secure 6-inch grip and easily opened with one hand! Each clamp comes with 6 feet of double-sided Velcro and a short elastic strip for fast attachment to the frame. And testing your machine's tension has never been easier ... learn more by reading the frequently asked questions about these wonderful clamps!
* *How many side clamps should I use on each side of my quilt?
Based on our observations and feedback from other Long/Mid-arm'ers, whether two clamps are used on each side of the quilt or just one is based on personal preference and the size of the machine being used. Roughly speaking, people using the larger Longarm machines tend to use two clamps on each side of the quilt. Those with the smaller Midarms seem to be split down the middle with about half using one set of clamps and the other half using two sets of clamps.
* *Will the clamps distort my quilt by pulling too hard?
No. Weighing only 4 ounces including the Velcro® strap, the Grip-Lite side clamps don't weight the quilt down unlike other side clamps. Also, the Grip-Lite side clamps' jaws are 6 inches wide providing a more uniform grip across the mounted quilt thereby avoiding distortion.
* *How close can I quilt to the clamps?
Normally, quilting doesn't need to occur near the clamps since the clamps grip the backing fabric which is wider than the quilt top by several inches. However, if necessary, you can quilt very close to the clamps since the machine head will generally glide under them. If the machine head comes into contact with the clamps under the quilt, it will dislodge the Grip-Lite side clamp and not become "stuck" as it would with other, heavy clamps.
* *What does it mean that the Velcro straps are "double-sided" and what are its dimensions?
The Velcro strap will attach to itself because one side is the hook side and the other side is the loop side. This allows the Grip-Lite side clamps to attach easily to any frame. The strap is about 6 feet long and 3/8" wide. Also, there is a short piece of elastic sewn onto the Velcro and that loops through a hole on the clamp. This facilitates clamping the clamps onto the quilt.

Free Shipping Offer Details
The Free Domestic Shipping Offer is based on your cart total. To receive Free Shipping, your cart total (after all discounts) must be $50 or more. Unfortunately, there are times when items would have free shipping at their regular price, but once the sale price is applied they are no longer eligible. The Etsy system does not correct the Free Shipping Ad based on the discounted price.
When you receive Free Shipping, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT to ship all items in a manner that your purchase qualifies for and in keeping with good business practices, regardless if you have been offered or selected Priority by Etsy. Etsy shipping is not always accurate on weights and sizes when items of different postal requirements are taken into consideration.
Shipping Cost and Package Tracking
Most items are sent USPS Ground Advantage with a stiffener, this disqualifies the item(s) from first class shipping. This shipping option does include insurance should the item(s) be lost or damaged in transit. For items sent via media mail (when they qualify by USPS standards) I do add insurance.
If your order is lost or damaged in transit, I can assist filing a claim compensation, be it a refund or replacement.
If a package is scanned delivered by the post office but NOT received by you, it does become your responsibility to contact your local post office to try to locate or find out what happened to the package. Please note that we will need to wait for an insurance claim to be paid prior sending a replacement.
Do you refund for shipping overage charges?
Yes. We do our best to combine separate orders occurring on the same day and ship orders at the lowest rate possible based on the size and weight. Any shipping overage of $1 or more will be refunded to the payment account.
Please note: our patterns are sent via USPS and ship at package rates NOT letter rates. This is due to a larger envelope size and a stiffener we place with our patterns, which makes them more rigid to protect them from being bent or damaged by the postal service machinery.
