Red Snappers
 
Just watched a video about loading quilt tops on a quilting frame with Red Snappers....looks easy. I've been pinning mine on each time and I've stuck myself a couple of times. So far no blood on quilts!! Wondering how many use the Red Snappers and if you thought they were worth the money?

Love mine!! Worth every penny to me.

I have the same thing by another maker. They're called Leadergrips and I am sooo glad I bought them. Loading a quilt used to take so much more time.

I love the Red Snappers, and also the Red-E-Edge for the sides of the quilt.

Love my Red Snappers--once you get the hang of it they are so much faster to load a quilt and no pin sticks! They will be stiff at first but you can bend some back and forth and that loosens them up enough to make it easier to use.

Bought mine last year and love them. So much easier and save lots of time.

There's Red Snappers, Leadergrips, and Mondo Clips. I have Red Snappers, bought them used from a friend. Never had a problem with them, however some people find them stiff at first. If you have arthritis, maybe ask hubby or find a friend with strong hands who can sort of break them in by bending and working them a bit.

I love mine! Been using them for 2 years now. At first they were a little stiff, but after using them a few times they loosened up a little and are much easier now.

Wouldn’t trade them for the world. Best investment ever for my longarm. Yes, they are a bit tight when you first get them, but the loosen up quickly if you know how to bend them. I can load each side in less than a minute!

The machine I rent has LeaderGrips...I used to pin to load my quilts too but the LeaderGrips make it so much faster. I don’t think you would be disappointed.
