    Default Red Snapper Quilting Frame Loading System

    Have any of you ever used these? Another quilter mentioned them to me and said it really knocks time off of loading your quilt on your frame instead of pinning. Just wondered what everyone's thoughts were...saving time is always a plus! Thanks for your feed back!

    I love mine. Just have to make sure that there is enough extra length on the quilt backing because the snappers take up a little more fabric than when backing is pinned on the leader (you don't have to ask how I found this out).

    I love my red snappers! So much faster, easier than all the pins needed to load a large quilt

    Yup, Leader Grips here and I love them! No more need for band-aids! I'm sure they're all basically the same.

    Shop and compare.

    Red Snappers
    Leadergrips
    Mondo Grips

    They are all similar products.

    I personally have Red Snappers, bought gently used from a friend, paid half of what they retail for.

    I have the leader grips, but I don't use them. I'm used to pinning now. I've thought about selling the leader grips, but I don't like the idea of having to place an ad etc, so they've been pushed to the back of a closet and forgotten for two years now. I probably should make an effort to sell them.....
