Which leaders do you use for the Red Snappers? I only have the zippered leaders and the cheap leaders that came with my Handi-Quilter. I think I'm going to have to purchase others, any suggestions. Thanks all! KD

I need to purchase new leaders, which leaders for the red snappers and where online can I get them? Thanks!

I have thought about using these too - Sometimes I just hate loading quilts and would love to have a timesaver.

Here is my question, after going through all the above that you really didn't need. lol My cloth leaders that came with the Grace King frame have a velcro system. There is no hem to slide anything through. Can I just simply buy another set of cloth leaders that are hemmed and use the Red Snappers on my Grace Frame?
Hi Tonka2shoes!
First of all, this thread is 2 years old, and not everyone is reading through to see that you posted a new question at the bottom of it, so a lot of the responses won't apply to your question.
You CAN buy new leaders if you want, but I don't see why you can't use the ones you already have. You say you have a velcro system. How do you attach the quilt to the leaders? On my system, the velcro attached the leaders to the rollers, then I pinned the quilt backing to the leaders. I folded over the leader and sewed a casing for the Red Snappers to slide into, instead of pinning. I'm thinking you could probably do the same? :)
p.s. As someone else said, you can shop around. Leadergrips, Red Snappers, Mondo Clips, all basically do the same thing. Pricing varies. I bought Red Snappers gently used from another quilter, so they were pretty affordable.

Mine came in the mail yesterday! I'm still getting my frame and everything set up, so I haven't used them yet to give you a review, but the folks here were very helpful in my decision making process to purchase them.
