Pocket Clamps
The Pocket Clamps are driver-mounted, which means they attach directly to your machine’s cap driver. Made from durable stainless steel, they use a lever to open and close the top window, holding items securely and giving you the space needed to stitch on pockets. Since sewing arms vary in size, clearance inside some pockets may be tighter than others, but we often say “if you can hoop it, you can sew it,” and that remains true with these pocket clamps—not only can you embroider pockets, but you can also hoop other items with limited space.
Glove Clamp
The Glove Clamp is a heavy-duty clamp designed to securely hold hard-to-hoo, high-stretch items like gloves and socks during embroidery. The clamping window includes a small slit in the bottom of the window to hold backing securely during the hooping and sewing process. A single cam lever opens, closes, and locks the clamp in place for fast, consistent loading.
Strong Hold Clamp
The Strong Hold Specialty Clamp is a heavy-duty, screw activated clamp originally designed to securely hold neoprene drink covers. While it was commonly used for this, it is versatile enough to handle any item that fits within the clamping window. It keeps material firmly tensioned over the sewing arm during embroidery which offers stable and consistent results.
Shoe Clamps
The Shoe Clamp is a heavy-duty, screw-activated clamp engineered specifically for sewing on the sides of shoes and similarly challenging items. Constructed from high-strength aluminum, these clamps are built to handle the extreme clamping pressure required to securely hold stiff materials while embroidering. It keeps the material firmly tensioned over the sewing arm, providing stability and control throughout the sewing process.
The Small Shoe Clamp has a window size of 2.75″x1.5″
The Large Shoe Clamp has a window size of 3.5″x1.75″
Strap Clamp
The Strap Clamp is a rail-mounted, heavy-duty clamp designed to stretch out and hold strap type material for embroidery.
The 8-inch Strap Clamp will fit strap widths between 3/8″ up to 1 1/2″.
The 13-inch Strap Clamp will fit strap widths between 3/4″ up to 3″.
Each clamp comes with an alignment wheel to make centering your design on the strap easy!
