Abstract: A quilting border hoop which utilizes an elongated support rod upon which are mounted first and second U-shaped members with these members to be located in an aligned overlapping position forming a narrow gap therebetween. The outer U-shaped member includes an adjusting block assembly which when operated will vary the width of the narrow gap. A fabric strip is secured to the support rod. The quilt is to be attached to this fabric strip and then clamped between the U-shaped members to tightly bind in position the quilt facilitating sewing on the quilt. Where the U-shaped members are connected to the support rod, there is connected between the ends of the U-shaped members spacers so as to pre-establish the width of the narrow gap.
