OK, after looking over the pics (which are very helpful!) I understand how you all are using the C clips. My question now is how you are getting them onto the fabric and frame without tearing the fabric? As noted earlier, the opening on the C clip is only 1/8". I'm concerned that if I try to force it over the fabric I'll end up tearing it. Is there a specific technique or should I try to open up the clip before hand? Any advice before I bollix up my seat covers would be appreciated.
