In the March/April 2012 issue of Woodworkers Journal there is a tip in the Tricks of the Trade department on how to use C-clamps or F-clamps as substitutes for 3-way(3-point) clamps. The picture is worth 1000 words.

i have these same clamps for several years
i have tried to use them on occasion but
they are horrible
when i clamp them on the main piece of wood they are fine
when i start to turn the third screw to clamp the edging
the other two screws start to slide toward the edge
not enough pressure can be applied with that third screw
i tried again this past weekend and same problem
nice idea but it doesnt work
