Abstract

A fabric holding device adapted to support excess material extending below a craft frame or work surface generally comprises a length of flexible and elastic material such as an elastic cord or strip. Fasteners are secured to a first and second end of the length of flexible and elastic material for securing the first and second ends to first and second frame members of the craft frame. The length of flexible and elastic material extends below and around the excess material so as to support the excess material extending below the craft frame.
