don't do what I did took me years to figure out to slide the snaps off not try and pull them off duuuu . homer simpson would be proud of me. I felt like a idiot. lol

I've been there Susi! 😶

Been there, did that also until one of the clamps took pity on me and slid when I was trying to get it off. :)

Oh my goodness, this thread is super. Just when we all thought that we were the only doughnut in the box another "confession" turns up. 😂

I recently started using the Q snap frames and they seem to be working well for me. But I'm having difficulty figuring out what to do with the extra Aida cloth. I tried wrapping it around the rod, but it only wrapped once with more material left. What do you do with the extra material?
Thanks!

Hi Bimiko, like you I've just begun using snap frames and had the same problem with excess material on my 11x11" frame. I solved the problem by folding the excess inside out and snapping the fold over the frame. It worked well. I tried a larger frame but found it too heavy and bulky. I hope some more seasoned snappers see this and give us some good tips. If they don't why don't you post your question as a new topic.

Thanks, Mary. I'll try that folding trick.

Hope it works for you Barbara. 🍀

Depending on how much extra fabric is hanging outside the Q-Snap, i do what Mary does, roll the material up to the side of the frame and either use a "snacks clip" (keeps the opened potato chip bag closed) for a small roll of fabric or a metal supply clip (but use only those that have a plastic-coated edge so it doesn't tear your fabric).
I am currently using a large CLEAN rubber band over some Saran Wrap that covers and hold the bottom excess unstitched fabric in a pony tail configuration. Wrinkled, probably, but at this point of working from the top down I had to find some control of a large amount of fabric. I store my whole project in a king size pillowcase.
