Who is Betty? Trying to work out what you are talking about.in UK I can't find anything definately not red snappers.could I have done it cheaper?

I just started using Red Snappers after using the zipper system for years. I love them! and yes you can cut the sections to smaller pieces. They are a bit stiff at first, but I think that depends on how heavy of fabric/canvas your leaders are. There is a tutorial on youtube by Tammy Murphy that shows how she uses her table while she loads her quilts on with Red Snappers. I'm going to try it her way on my next one. I also use Grip Lite Clamps by Quilter's Paradise and love them for the side tension. Becky

Thanks, everyone, for your responses. I may try Betty's way since I didn't know about that, but if that doesn't work out, it's Red Snappers for Christmas!

My red snappers are in the post. Please no stricks in the next week USA or UK. So excited I have a number of tops to do as I have been making tops in the hot weather and plan to quilt in the cooler autumn.
So excited like waiting for a new baby.

I will let you all know how my "home made" system works - just have to get to it - lol.

I do have one concern that laurlync brought up. My frame is a Hinterberg with a Voyager 17. Its take up lies flat on the bed of the machine. I am wondering if it will be in the way when I roll up the quilt to advance it if it is in the "down" position. These are not particularly flat or thin. Just thinking outloud here.

I'll be interested too - the Hinterberg frame and Voyager is what I have!
