Description
This leader grip system is my favorite way to load a quilt to a frame. You won’t believe how quickly you can mount a quilt back to a longarm frame with this system. You attach your backing fabric to the quilt back bar and the take up bar with the leader grips.
My favorite style is the 2 bar system which is perfect for those who like to float their tops. You install the Leader grips on the Quilt Back bar (belly bar) and the pickup roller. If you prefer to attach your quilt top to a bar, you’ll need to buy the 3 bar Leadergrip system.
The 12′ table kit comes with enough feet of tubing to fit both a 12′ table and a 14′ table. Use wire snips to remove excess tubing. The 10′ table kit comes with enough tubing to fit your 10′ table. Any excess tubing can be snipped off with wire snips.
Tracey at Whirls and Swirls quilting did a great video on how to install Leadergrips. I’ve got written instructions on how to do it here. But take a look at her great video below and see how easy it is! First, you’ll need to make a casing in your canvas leaders.

Leader Grips I purchased Leader Grips from Quilted Joy and they were shipped very quickly. The only I don't like about the Leader Grips is the process to assemble the rods that go inside the leaders was a bit difficult for me (but doable). Overall, though, I find using the Leader Grips to be MUCH easier than pinning.

Leader Grips The leader grips are far superior to pinning. I watched whirls n swirls and Angela’s tutorials on making the pockets. It all went smoothly and I couldn’t be happier with my leader grips. I also purchased the side leader grips and love them. Quilted Joy is the best for customer service and delivery. I have ordered twice from Quilted Joy and it has now become my go to shop for all things needed for longarm quilting and Glide thread. Thank you again.

Leader Grips I ordered a set of 24” grips to use as replacements for grips that were worn out. They arrived quickly and I love them! I have had my long arm 3 years and had worn out my grips! Thank you so much! Shari

Quick Alternative I'm a new long arm quilter and I wasn't interested in pinning my quilt to the leaders and thought this would be quicker and easier. And I was right. I love them!

Great Time Saver When I call to ask question on LeaderGrips the customer service was friendly and knowledgeable. Received order very timely, all arrived in great shape. Easy to assemble, a great time saver, well worth the money.
