I use it and think it's great. Previously I tried pins (didn't like getting stuck) and leader helpers with Velcro (didn't like sewing the leaders onto the back). I also bought some of the Mondo clips before the Snappers came out, and they were too tight to apply. I also use the side tensioning system from Renae Haddadin - Red-E-Edge - and it is also great.

I use Leader Grip - they are wonderful - saves so much time and getting poked with the pins....

My DH tried several methods and finally settled one the red snapper system. Beware there is a learning curve, at least for him. at least in comparison to the pins! what am I going to do with all those long pins and T pins?

We use the Red Snappers where I do longarming...they are great...no more PINS!! You will love them...the only thing we have found is when you are doing a king, they tend to bow some in the middle...but once the quilt is done....we do not find any discrepancies in the quilting...

Yep yep yep, got them, love them! Also have the Red-E-Edge. Before I got these, I had tried pins and velcro and another channel system. Nothing as easy and painless as the Red Snappers

I agree!! Use them both.
I tried to go the cheap way with plastic tubing and the light strips. Wasn't that much cheaper, and didn't work as well. Broke down and got the Red Snappers and the Red E Edge. Wonderful -- and no more bleeding. :-P

the unquilted part depends on how much fabric you have extra on top and bottom. I don't like to put my top too close to the edge so I have a some wiggle room.. I love Red Snappers...they were one of my AhAH moments in long arming. I would purchase them again in a heartbeat.
