Claim 12:
13. A template clamping apparatus for clamping a fabric against a quilt making template, said apparatus comprising:
a base having an upper surface and a lower surface;
a turntable supported by said base, said turntable defining a working surface which is rotatable relative to said base;
an arm rigidly connected to said base, said arm having a first and a second end;
a clamp connected to said second end of said arm such that when said clamp is disposed in a loading disposition thereof, loading of the fabric between the quilt making template and said turntable is permitted and when said clamp is disposed in a clamping disposition thereof, the fabric is clamped between the quilt making template and said turntable such that when said clamp is disposed in said clamping disposition, relative movement between the quilt making template and the fabric is inhibited while permitting the fabric sandwiched between said turntable and the quilt making template to rotate relative to said base so that cutting of the fabric in conformity with the quilt making template is facilitated; and
a cutting sheet disposed between the fabric and said turntable for protecting said turntable during cutting of the fabric.
