I still use T-pins to attach the backing to main leader. Am interested in your method to go quicker, might need to invest in a stapler.

I have a window behind my Millie & just hung a coat rack from the dollar store on the ledge for the longer ones. The shorter ones, I have on my peg board wall with 2 hooks making a shelf for them. The itty-bitty guys, I keep in my apron pocket.

I store mine in the box they came in. I just cut it down into 2 pieces - the shorter piece(10-11") holds the short snappers and the little ones that you put on first and the bigger one holds the longer pieces and my yardsticks. Short one is taped to the side of the longer box.

I store mine in a tub I got some Pantos in it is small and out of the way in a corner of my quilting room. I also cut my Red Snappers in half to make it easier to handle and put quilt on bars. I have arthritis in my hands.
