| I'm a costumer and we are currently going through the fabric stash at the theatre I work at, which gets used and abused. Today, I pulled a giant wad of champagne satin out of a box, measured it to be FIFTEEN YARDS and then had to fold it. Well, I was alone and decided that I would take it to the stage to lay it out a little, but on my way there I swiped a couple of small clamps from the set guys' shop, kinda spring loaded deals. Anyhooters, I was able to fold the fabric in 1/2, clip the end, fold it over on it's self and clip the fold, then the other end, reclip and so on. It was like having 2 extra hands! |

I love this idea, I work in a bridal shop and the basement needs cleaning. We have the same problem with leftover yardage. I will definately use this.

Great idea. When I find my muslin fabrics on $1 sale I buy 12-15 yds. Last time I accordion folded and not easy. Clamps sound perfect!

Clamps do sound perfect for that extra helping hand.

Great idea. I think I'll get a couple of clamps for the sewing room next time I'm in a DIY.
