Abstract: A fabric clamp that passes under the presser foot of a sewing machine is provided. The clamp has a loop of resilient strip folded over upon itself, an upper slotted lever, and a lower slotted lever. The resilient strip has an upper portion, the terminus of which defines an upper planar jaw, and a generally planar lower portion, the terminus of which defines a lower planar tongue, joined by a curvilinear central portion. The upper portion of the resilient strip passes through the upper lever. The lower portion of the resilient strip passes through the lower lever. The total transverse width of the portions of the tongue is no more than about 12 mm. The curvilinear portion urges the jaw and tongue together. When the upper jaw and the tongue are adjacent and the levers are urged together, the jaw and the tongue are displaced from adjacent deployment.
