1. 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;
a quilt making template removably disposed on said turntable;
an arm rigidly connected to said base, said arm having a first and a second end; and
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 said 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 said quilt making template and the fabric is inhibited while permitting the fabric sandwiched between said turntable and said quilt making template to rotate relative to said base so that cutting of the fabric in conformity with said quilt making template is facilitated.
