Has Anyone Found A European Stitching Clamp Under $150?

Recommended Posts

We are currently in the process of designing a set of folding clams that should retail for about $140, not including shipping.

Variations and customizations are available for a small fee.

I just sold a Fred Moreau clam for $850 and it did not have many add on extras.  If you ever find one and want it - better get it because they are exceedingly rare.  Fred's clams were built and designed to be Rolls Royce of stitching clams and well worth the price.  Fred is not making them anymore due to poor health. I'll leave it at that.

Just wanted to say that if you are able to calculate angles and saw them correctly, then a French style stitching clam is easy enough to make. Just "steal" the shape from a picture and create it out of straight oieces of wood. Then all you need is wood glue, some screws and a hinge.

(If, like me, you have problems with geometry and precision sawing, it will take a bit of fiddling with saw and file, but you will still get a useable clamp, just spend mire time.)
