[opinions please...leader grips vs red snappers]

With these PVC pipe clips... do you take off your leaders or leave them on and hope that they don't shift the quilt top when you use these clips? Seems the bulk of the leaders and the top will make them very hard to use???

From what I observed, the leaders were rolled up, the backing laid on top of the leader and then clipped. I fully float my tops and batting, so the only concern would be the stability of the backing. I did contact Calico Kitten, who had a booth at MQX and she said that Jamie Whalen may carry them.

Thanks, again, Sue. What is the diameter of the PVC and do they pretty much snug the backing on the bar when you snap them in place? My husband is a landscaper, so there is certainly no shortage of PVC pipe around our home!

Thank you, Sue. That is exactly what they looked like. Have you tried out the ones you have for the loading purposes? I will check with the Calico Kitten.

At several of my MQX classes with Claudia Pfeil, she used some type of "grip" that looked like white PVC pipe that was split and snapped onto the back bar. Each piece was about 4 - 6 inches long and there were about six pieces. It took her way less than a minute to attach the backing.

I've done a google search but find nothing. The classroom machine looked like a Gammill.

Can anyone here point me in the right direction? Who makes these (or were they homemade?)

Aloha,

Love the colors and love the texture created with CL 7 Treasures! What brand wool batting did you use in this, Hitomi?
