suzanp Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Has anyone put new leaders on, if so what did you use to stick them to the bars? My leaders are from 2004 and are in bad shape, so ordered new ones quite some time ago. Finally got the courage to do a hem and casing for the red snappers, but worried !!!

suzanp Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 OK, no duct tape here, there is a cheap one but really not good, so off to the hardware store for carpet tape. Thanks, will post a picture once done!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Wow, France..............I'll send you my camera...hahahaha!!!!!!!!! Very cute pouch, does he bark in french. And yes, duct tape works quite well for putting on leaders. The first machine that we bought was a Ken Quilt 622. Yea, I know it's a shortarm. Without knowing what I was doing and not reading the instruction, I preceeded to tear off the leader on one of the take-ups. Opppppppppppppps. Quick get the duct tape. Well, it did the trick. zeke................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyJo Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Suzan, glad to hear that you got your leaders put on, the red snappers work good and I also love your new Avatar:D I've also got the red snappers, but haven't put them on my machine yet. I want to do that before the next quilt goes on the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
