ABSTRACT:
A clip for clamping a cloth according to the invention is mounted on an embroidery frame including an outer frame, and an inner frame which is internally engaged with the outer frame thereby to hold a cloth to be worked between the outer frame and the inner frame. The clip includes a leaf spring member which can be detachably mounted on the outer frame, and an urging member which is fitted to this leaf spring member and adapted to press the cloth to be worked onto the inner frame. The leaf spring member has a first engaging portion adapted to be engaged with a lower part of the outer frame from outside, a first plate portion extending upwardly from the first engaging portion, a second plate portion formed in an upper part of this first plate portion by way of a bent portion and downwardly inclined along an inner face of the outer frame, and a second engaging portion formed in this second plate portion and adapted to be engaged with an upper part of the outer frame from inside. The urging member is provided on the second plate portion and adapted to press a part of the cloth to be worked extending upwardly from between the outer frame and inner frame onto the inner frame. According to the structure, the cloth to be worked can be reliably clamped to be held in a stabilized state, and a slack of the cloth while embroidering can be prevented. At the same time, the clip can be made compact and lightweight, and can be easily mounted or dismounted.
