Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I bought a pair of red snappers the first of this year. I love them! At first they are pretty hard to snap on, but once you use them a couple times they work great. They hold the quilt better than pins, more even, and it's faster to load the quilt with them.

I have the ones made by leader grips (www.leadergrips.com) I love them. They are easy to use, but it did take a little practice
Thank you all for your comments...you convinced me! I'm placing my order today!!!
Wishing you all a healthy, prosperous, and Blessed New Year!

I have red snappers, but do not use them. The only time I have ever had to add more backing was using the red snappers and it happened every time I used them. I do a lot of charity quilting and usually the backing is only 6" larger than the width and length. The things are so flexible I had a hard time getting the quilt straight. I did like the speed putting on and taking off a quilt. DH also likes the speed. I may try them again when we have extra backing fabric. The tightness was another problem. I have RA is both hands.
Thanks everyone for your comments. I just bought a LA and I told DH that I would come up with another way to load my quilts other than using pins. I was taught to sew them on but I didn't want to do that each time, way too much thread wasted for me. So I will be ordering the Red Snappers ASAP. I just knew there was another way !
