I don't like to roll but sometimes I do need to clip the edge of my quilt up. I use ginormous plastic clothes pins from the Dollar Store. They come in bright colours and will hold quite a few pleats together. I use them so that the extra quilt fabric doesn't fall off the edge of my table while I am puddling my quilt under the needle. My table is about 4X6 feet and if the quilt goes off the edge it creates too much drag.
