SewTites Side Leaders 

We were just talking about this today. I didn’t think of that.

@@adamsewfun. - I’ll see if I can post a picture on instagram or fb. I use zippers, but I put an extension on my leaders so I can either sew, pin, or use red snappers to attach backing, and quilt top bottom to the frame. I prefer to sew, because I inevitably poke my fingers and bleed 😖. I put the magnum row in for the bottom of the quilt and it makes it so quick and easy to load, and release when you get to the bottom row.

Very true

Yup, anything from SewTites.com ASF10 will get you a 15% discount.

It’s Open Skies, I think it’s available at Connecting Threads.

I'm going to have to try this. Thanks for the tip!

I wanted a larger lip to grab on. You can do it however you would like though.

I do still love them and use them on almost every quilt. The only time I don't is when I want to put a top off-center of my back.

I bet that would be fantastic. I just don’t have a lot of feet for this straight stitch machine. I have them all for my Bernina but that is put away at the moment.

That’s what I used to use. Either way, they both work great.

If you didn't want to use the clamps at all, you might be able to to make one long strip. Then use the magnets on one end and another magnet on the frame to hold it tight.

@@adamsewfun. That is a good idea!!. I watched a video where a person used Velcro strips and I am thinking of a way to do that too.

It’s called Open Skies and it’s a BOM from Connecting Threads but I believe it’s sold out.

Just cut them WOF

Thank you Adam your the best!

I’m not sure, I haven’t worked with those magnets yet. I guess I need to do more embroidery.

@@adamsewfun. I checked and they are way too thick so will get in the way. I will order the other magnets.

Not sure what you are asking, I’m sorry.

I clap to the strap and use the magnet on my backing. It not only takes the clamp away from my quilt so the ruler base or machine won’t hit it, it also keeps the clamps working if the grey part breaks off.

To hold the sides of the quilt. Instead of clamping to my quilt, I clamp to the side leader. It brings the clamp away from the sides of the quilt and keeps the machine and ruler base from hitting the side clamps.

I would have but don’t have one for this machine.

Sorry, with my content you get the real me. There are plenty of other education opportunities around that might fit you better.

@@adamsewfun. WOW. Only true people will take the time to be honest with you and honesty helps you grow your channel Adam. I am sure that Joe was trying to offer some thoughtful perspective. Is your purpose truly to educate? If so, your viewer's opinions should matter. Relax brother.

@@Ronibearable If someone had an issue with my teaching style, they can simply change the channel. The great thing about the internet, there’s something out there for everyone. There is no need for me to “relax” because I’m not bothered that someone thinks I ramble, I do. I was simply stating that people get what they get with me and if that’s not a good fit, there are probably other opportunities. As for my purpose to educate, that is my goal, which is why I devote my time and energy into this channel. This is all done on my own time, in my own studio, on my own equipment. I will never be able to be all things to all people, but I can be myself, and I’m true to myself in every video on this channel.
