Abstract
This invention relates to a device and system to securely fasten textiles to fixed surfaces. The device includes a holder with a malleable material on the bottom, allowing for easy one-handed operation. The device also has a top with a fastener attached for secure attachment to the fixed surface. The malleable material has intersecting slits to create an opening for inserting the textile. This device and system provide a solution that is reusable, does not require modifications to the textile, and can be used on surfaces and textiles of varying sizes. Overall, it offers an efficient and effective way to secure textiles to fixed surfaces, like keeping a tablecloth in place and preventing it from being blown away by the wind.
