I made my own because I didn't want to spend $80 on something I didn't know if I'd love.

One trip to Home Depot for 1/2 in water line, tube lighting tracking and a headless screw and about $20 and I was set. They worked great and wayyyyy better than pinning!

I love my REd Snappers, bought them at the last MQS show in Cedar Rapids this past Spring for $79. I had used zippers--but you still have to pin or sew the quilt back to the zippers--so that wasn't a savings of time and tired of getting stabbed! I almost always float my tops, so I use the short ones to anchor the backing and then replace them with a long strip. Loosen up with little use; but my friend with major healthy issues used her hair dryer on them the first few times and that worked great.

Have them. Love them. Wouldn't be without them.

Ditto here. McGyver gene kicking in. The prices for some things are ridiculous. That said you can't use them if people aren't generous with the backing length.

I have them also...they are very very stiff but using a hair dryer to warm them up works....my biggest issue is that I struggle to get my backing on straight...I feel like I need to be a octopus. I still struggle with it at times it's soooo frustrating for me...I've watched more videos than I care to admit and still struggle. If I ever get the hang of it their going to be worth having....

I did the same thing....in fact I got the information from one of the posts right here on QB! It cost me less than $25.00 and I use them to load on the backing. They work great, but I will try this tip mentioned by one of the ladies....she said she cut the snaps into smaller pieces. It is hard to line up the fabric with the larger snaps. What I do is pin the back to the leader every few inches and then put on the snaps. Works like a charm.

Bought the tube lighting/water line, as it works the same and at a great savings.
