If you decide to use the red snapper system and you find it difficult to snap the red piece onto your quilt backing when attaching, try getting a piece of dowelling a slightly bigger diameter than the rod part of the snapper and let the red snap part sit on it for a few days - I have a different system and one of my brackets was too tight for me to attach easily. Using the slightly larger (thicker) dowel meant to relaxed/stretched the bracket piece slightly allowing me to be able to use it more easily.
