I got the clamp from Melco. I think I got my fast frames at a trade show
(discount!). It's been so long I really don't remember.

Dorothy,
Thanks for the heads-up!! Did you get both the fast frames and clamps from
Melco. I do a lot of tote sport bags and heavy fabrics so I probably need to
invest in both!! I have bad Arthritis and fibromyalgia so end up in lots of
pain. Thanks for the help, Dorothy!! Debbie
