I have a 10' Grace Pinnacle frame that I bought used and came with cloth leaders that looked like they were made from bed sheet material, I didn't like them, they were wayy too flexible and flimsy and I had to pin to use them in which when I would get to the bottom of my quilt there were always the tiny little waves of material in between the pins, I didn't like that. Needless to say it takes forever to pin a queen size quilt on the frame! I had taken a long arm class and they had canvas leaders and I love how straight they laid and how they were more firm and help fabric nicely. I put them on my Christmas list along with Red Snappers, they are a dream! no more pinning! they are fast just like the videos show! I can load my quilts in less then 10min! I am 27 and have been quilting for a year now. The only thing I need now is a long arm machine, I have a mid arm Janome 1600P on my frame now but dream of having something with a longer throat one day. I have attached the links to check out the canvas leaders & red snappers
they really speed loading & unloading quilts up!
