A device for holding fabric during embroidering in an embroidery machine is comprised of a clamp, preferably a clamp comprised of mating rings, mounted on a clamp arm. Indicia, such as an orthogonal grid, in the form of visible fixed features, are present on the clamp arm or clamp and enable a user to easily orient and position the fabric being captured in the clamp of the device. Preferably, the clamp arm cantilevers inwardly within a generally rectangular space defined by a C shape frame which is adapted for mounting on the pantograph of an embroidery machine. The embroidering of garment pockets is particularly facilitated. Indicia are also placed around the upper surface periphery and bore of the ring of a clamp. Apparatus for facilitating the insertion of a combination of fabric and embroidery backing paper into a ring clamp is comprised structure for holding the clamp and spaced apart spring tines which hold the backing paper while the user closes the clamp.
