    Default Red Snapper's Quilt Loading system

    This is listed in the Nancy's Notions catalog. It says no pinning/basting your quilt on the frame. Perfect tension. Has anybody used this? Did you think it is worth the money?
    Thanks!

    I have them and I love them. No more picking my finger with pins. I bought them direct from the company and they are quite expensive but I don't regret the purchase.

    I have them and love them, but I went directly to the company on the internet. There is a little bit of a learning curve to use them but it doesn't take long to learn. I can now load a king size quilt in about 15 mins. Just google Red Snappers.

    I also have them. I particularly like the side pieces, the Red-E-Edge. They're sold separately.

    I have them too and recommend them to anyone. They are great. I don't think there is much of a learning curve and they are fast. There are youtube vidoes that tell you a lot about them, give them a try.

    I have the Red Snappers for my Tin Lizzie and the are awesome. I also have the side ones, but, in all honesty, I have never figured out how tow use them. I love the Red Snappers for loading the quilt though, and I would say they are a definite must.

    I have them, and they came in so handy this week when I had to unload a big quilt to do a quick baby quilt and then put the big quilt back on the frame. Worth the money right there.

    I have tried them and want some. It is difficult for me to fully use them due to my hand disabilities. So, when/if I get any they would be used for all but the quilt bottom end as I can get much closer using the QuilTak gun.
