Tuesday's Tip - Red Snapper System

Sometimes when we decide to get a new gadget we find out too late that it isn't all it's claiming to be. Not the Red Snapper System!!  These rods, clips, and side clamps are a great time saver when loading a longarm machine. 

I watched several videos and checked many blog posts before ordering them. They came from Utah to SC in a couple of days, just like promised. Renae's videos and the ones from Sparrow Studio were the best. 
Now here's where the Tuesday Tip comes in,,,
We were having trouble screwing the sections together using the dowels screws that came with the system components. Renae made it look very easy, and perhaps she just has a stronger grip than I do. The solution ended up being an old farmer's remedy for anything that is not going together. Use a bar of soap, run the threads across it, then insert it, turn those pieces together, and viola! They started going together very easily. 


Once installed into the leaders I decided to get at a couple of charity quilts. Chose the first one, and onto the frame went the backing. Very easy and no pin pricks to the fingers. A few hours later,,,


One quilt done. One to go!
Enjoy your evening.
