Do you have a jig for recovering rails?

Does anyone have a jig for the rails that make it easier (and quicker) to recover? I find that when doing the corners, I just don't seem to have enough hands. I remember when a guy was recovering my tables at the room he had a jig set up, but I didn't pay attention to what it looked like.
 
On a pool table

I was wondering if there was a jig that could hold the rail while you stapled the cloth. That is especially true for the when I staple the corners....
 
I am the jig

When I am coving the corners I stand the rail on end, put the rail against the table and pin it there with my leg leaving both of my hands free. One to manipulate the cloth and the other to staple with.
 
That is kind of how I do it also. Depending on where I am I utilize what is available to wedge, hold, secure or assist me. I am left handed and I always seem to end up with the cord of the stapler in the way. Mechanical stuff isn't my strongest suit (but I can write a good paragraph :D ) and thought one of you guys might have already thought of this :rolleyes: .
