Red Snapper Holder

I use Red Snappers on my long arm.  They secure the backing and batting to the leaders and then I float the quilt top on the batting.

The Red Snappers are long tubes of red plastic that snap together.  It is the easies way I have found to load a quilt.

But the original bag they came in is getting holes in it.  And I lost several of the smaller snappers in the flood move.

I needed a long tube to hold the Snappers when they are not on the quilt frame (and the extras).  I decided a shipping tube would work, but the snappers are two inches longer than the tubes.

Here are some of the smaller pieces that go with the set.

So I decided on a PVC pipe tube.  You can get the fittings that screw into the top and bottom of the piping and close it off.   So at Home Depot the other day, I priced what I needed and found it would cost about $27.

Hmmmm…….

So Frank took me to the Academy Sports store to look at fly rod cases.  The one for $15 was on back order so I came home and ordered it on Amazon.

It came in yesterday.

Perfection for $12.57 and free shipping!

Can't beat that with a set of Red Snappers!
