    Default I'm needy again

    I hope y'all aren't getting sick of me and my questions. I went to the dollar store today. No picnic table cloth clamps there. So, I looked at Walmart. None there. Then I went to Staples and bought the biggest bulldog clamps they had. They don't work on my table. Joann's did not have anything but the itty bitty binder clips. So when I got home, I called the local quilt shops. No clamps. Can someone tell me where you got yours? Thank you so much.

    Are you talking about clamping down to do all the basting? How about Home Depot or Lowes.

    Yes, Hulamoon that is what I want them for. Thanks for the suggestion. I will look at Lowe's tomorrow.

    Many people have commented that they have had good luck finding items like clamps at Harbor Freight for very reasonable prices if you have a store near you.

    Thank you GrandmaE, we do have one relatively near. I've never been there. Good excuse to check it out.

    Darn you Dollar Tree! You makin' me look bad! I found them over with the houseware thingies, should have told you that. Too bad you're not close or you could have mine, I won't be basting anything for quite awhile, got too much piecing and applique to do! Good luck, post pics!

    If at first you don't succeed, try doing it the way your mom told you to in the first place
