Just Me... 04-29-2011 03:19 AM

I have 2 longarms. Had the first, then later bought the second. The second came with the zippered leaders, which I wanted no part of. When they brought the second one, I was in the market for replacement leaders for the first. I told them to just bring me the regular ones, as I didn't see the big deal with the zippers. BOY WAS I WRONG! I really regret not getting the replacements as zippers. Love them! I quilt over 200 quilts a year on avg. and they are awesome!

But have also heard that if you lose any of the teeth, it would have to be replaced. That could be expensive. Please chime in.

Haven't tried zippers either, Velco works great.

I use the zippers and really like them. I've had them for about five years.

I saw the red snappers demo'd at the MQX show. They look awesome. They also have a side tension setup for them as well. Very ingenious product.

I am still pinning.
