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.

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.
