Hey there! I can relate to your struggle—when I first ventured into larger tufting projects, my clamps just couldn't keep up, and it was such a headache! After a few frustrating attempts, I switched to some heavy-duty G clamps, and they've made all the difference. I found these 4-inch G clamps that really grip the frames without budging, even under the weight of bigger pieces. You might want to check them out here:
