No leader-enders right now. I'm doing some scrap processing to eventually make another coin quilt. So I have strips EVERYWHERE. I've cut some spot blocks for later and charms for eventual 4 patches. My sewing space is a bit of a disaster right now so it needs a deep clean and organize after this scrap project.

I'm not doing anything with leaders/enders right now, but I simply throw them in the drawer that I leave partially open and when it gets filled, then I make another quilt. I've made several quilts with leaders/enders.

I'm happier with a "spider" one piece of leader I use over and over (the fabric is the body, the threads are the spider legs).
My machine starts with a default of small stitches -- which is good sometimes but I don't always want so I prefer to start on the spider. If I used the leader system, my quirks and twitches set in and I'd want a leader for the leader....
It's a great concept though. We all work in different ways.
