I am the one who made the poor man snappers and still use them. I also bought Mondo clips which work very well and hold up since they are so strong. I bought them through Amazon several years ago and they were at a lower price than snappers. If you are wondering why I have both, it is because I share my long arm with friends and sometimes we don't 'finish a quilt on the longarm so we just take it off, leaving it attached to the leaders so someone else can use the machine. All the leaders have velcro for easy attachment to poles.
Here is link to Mondo Clips.
