I don't think there is anything better. I've got two, one is normal thickness and the other is skinny. Hook one over the canvas and twist, they stay put well, and nothing touches the front of the canvas. I learned about using a cane from Richard Schmid.

Steve: Thanks for the recommendation. I have been thinking about getting a second stick - I'll try one.
