SewTite Magnum magnets have permanently replaced the red snapper system I used to load quilts onto my longarm quilting frame for the last 6 years. SewTites’ largest magnets are easy to use and super strong. Thank you for making quilt loading an easy, less time-consuming task. Definitely worth the money.

These are pretty pricey. I have been loading my quilts by baste stitching the top to the leader for years. These may be a great option if they were a a lot cheaper. $380 for my 14 foot table is way too much for me.
Teresa D.
Great product and super service from the staff.

What's not to like about these magnets? I have so far enough for 2 leaders but am asking for enough for the last leader for xmas. They always ask what I need so now I know. I have the blue HD ones for side clamping and yellow Magnums in the leaders. They speed up the "yucky" part of quilting and save your hands plus, you are not standing and bending over your machine so long. It's a win win! I highly recommend them and it's worth the investment.

The magnetic tiles work great for lap or small wall hangings on my canvas of my 14 foot wide longarm table. I did not order enough to complete the entire width of the a large (queen or king) quilt because I think the tiles are hard to get attached to the edge of a wider quilt with more fabric. I sewed the back pieces into my canvas so I am going to take them out and go back to the plastic clip-on system that I was using before on the larger quilts. I have managed to quilt almost all of the smaller quilts that I had pending so the system works great for those. It is a good system, just not exactly what I need to the mostly large quilts that I quilt. Thanks
Martha C.
These things are awesome!! Wish I had looked into these when I first started quilting. They hold the fabric on my long arm perfectly and no more pinning!! What a great product!
Andrea S.
I bought these because they are long enough to use on my metal embroidery hoop, and THEY WORK GREAT!!!
Theresa D.
Used them on my longarm to hold the backing in place. Worked like a charm. I am going to ask Santa for more at Christmas time. Great gift idea for ME!
Love them.

I did what everyone else did, put them in my leaders and snapped a quilt back on. It worked. Rolled the quilt, snaps fell off. I had to start all over again. Snaps got skewed. Finally, I "carefully" rolled the quilt back and it finally worked. So, I did follow what the video showed and ran into this issues. The one thing I did like about the magnets is the ease of removing the quilt. So, saying all that I only used them once, was able to finish a quilt and removed the quilt. Maybe over time I will like these magnets more and more. I actually was ready to just send them back for a refund. We'll see,
Carolyn P.
Wonderful ! Only takes a few minutes instead of the time I used to spend loading my quilts on the longarm frame. Best thing I have ever bought for myself.
Saves those fingers from pin pricks.
Delores K.
I found these magnet by watching quilting shows on YouTube. They make loading a quilt on the long arm so much easier and faster than pinning. I am new at long arm quilting and had a little difficulty making the casing that olds the silver part of the magnets. I learned about casings from YouTube also. They were rather expensive but you only have to buy them once. I have an 8 foot table and needed 2 boxes of the yellow ones. My friend now wants to order some.
JANICE M.
I sewed the Sew-Tite Magnums into my HQ longarm leaders and loaded my first quilt with them and absolutely love them. It was so easy to load my fabric and to keep it straight as I used the magnets and I love that there isn't any extra bulk when I start rolling the fabric on the poles. I have tried other methods of loading my fabric and this is really the easiest and quickest way to load them.
Donna L.
This is my second set! I use them with my long arm quilting machine, I don’t have to pin any more and I can get my quilt on the machine in half the time that it took me to pin! Love this product!

After watching countless videos on loading a quilt to the frame, I came across this one. I thought I’d give it a chance, and was delighted with how it really gripped my quilt for the entire quilting process.
I have already shared with my longarm quilting friends here in Nebraska. SewTites are a very nice addition to simplifying the quilting task.

I LOVE these magnets. I use them exclusively now on my long arm. I make a LOT of quilts but I don't have a business. That may/may not make a difference. I've never had a problem with them slipping and I do have the metal pieces sewn into my leaders. I have found some other sewing related uses but I am going to order some of the smaller ones for those projects. THANK YOU!
Lois D.
Unfortunately, the magnum sewtites didn't hold my quilt back as I had hoped. I think my leaders may be too thick.
susan e.
These things are great!
susan e.
I absolutely love these magnums. I am using them on the ends of my quilt on the longarm to keep the backing straight. The clamps are okay but have tried others that hold onto the backing keeping it straight and have not been pleased as i now have arthritis. So devised a way it will be so much easier 4 me with so tites!
Lucinda R.
I have bought three sets of 20 magnets each set. I installed them on my leaders for my backing. They work great.
Lynn K.
These were stronger than I thought. Love how they work on my long arm.
Carol1 P.
I have anchored the bottom of my top using HD magnets for 5+ years. Now I tried the backing using Magnum. They really work great. I also did not see the back bar into my leader but just held in place and put magnet over top. Very fast, very secure. I used to dread loading with my arthritic hand, now it is fast, secure and my hands are not hurting or bleeding from pins. Great product!
Thank you, Carol
Debbie W.
These are prefect! Will not use anything else to load my quilt on the frame.
Janice L.
Love to use these instead of pins or red snappers for loading my quilt back.
Janice L.
I love sewtites magnums for loading my backing on the longarm. It is so fast and easy now!
Gloria W.
I'm loving them. Can load much faster. Ty
Mary H.
I’m a longarm quilter and my hands are having a hard time with the red snappers. I saw a video on the Sew Tites website and decided to take the plunge. Just did my first quilt using them. They were awesome. They worked perfectly and it was so easy to load my quilt. Wish I had found these sooner.
Kim A A.
I love that I don’t poke my fingers anymore loading a quilt. It’s also so much faster to load and unload.
Eve G.
I think they are clunky to use and not really faster than I can pin. I turn my quilts to do borders and have found it’s important to leave at least 4 inches of backing (which I don’t have to do when pinning). I am hoping I will like them more as time goes on. I have only done 2 quilts using them so far, so maybe more use will lead to my liking them more.
Tracy G.
These magnets are amazing! I am a red snapper user on my longarm quilting machine frame and they were getting too difficult to use with my arthritic hands. I ordered a set of the Sew Tites Magnum to test. They did not disappoint! I will be ordering another set (I have a 14' frame and one set was only enough to do one of the canvas leaders.)
I highly recommend this product!
Gloria W.
Time-saving for my long arm! Thank you!
Kerry B.
I’m new to longarm quilting but the SewTites Magnums are a GREAT improvement over pinning to leaders! Can’t wait to get more so I can have them on all 3 rails!
Donna R.
Your product is great. I have been long arming for almost 30 years. I’ve tried them all, but these magnets are by far the best. Personally I think they are a little spendy, and some would not be able to afford to purchase. When I ordered my first 2 packs of five, I really wanted to order the larger set of twenty, but couldn’t use my coupon on the larger set, nor on 2 more of the smaller sets. After receiving my first order, I loved them, the rest of the story, my purse is empty, but I am happy. Donna
DELANIA L.
These sew tite magnums are just amazing. They hold my quilt backing on my longarm frame great. They go on fast and I don't have to worry about pin sticks and then blood drops on the quilt. Because of their low profile, they don't take up quilting space when I roll the quilt on the frame. So easy to load and then unload a quilt from the frame. You do have to be careful not to be pinched with these magnets because they are truly strong .
Jacquelyn W.
I am a long arm quilter and look forward to using my SEWTITES to load my quilts. I have a couple quilts waiting for quilting but haven’t had time to finish them. I am VERY excited about using the SEWTITES on my long arm and will follow up with my thoughts in another review.
I also ordered the smaller strong ones for other sewing/embroidery projects.
I think the SEWTITES are the best thing since sliced bread!! Thank you for inventing them!!
Debbie W.
Shipment and delivery was very fast. Easy to get the magnetics setup and they worked perfect.
Judy H.
I'm finding more and more ways to use my SewTites. Very glad I purchases them, wish I had done it sooner.
Sulema C.
Wow! These sew tites really hold my quilt in place, when I’m quilting. Definitely going to make my quilting journey easier and more enjoyable❤️
Paula M.
Love, love, love my new SewTites! I am new to longarm quilting and these are the perfect solution to not having to pin your backing to the leaders!
Judy H.
I really love my SewTites, loading a quilt on the longarm is made easier with these. I wish I had heard of them sooner. Thank you SewTite for your great product.
Leslie W.
I am a newby to longarming. I've been doing it long enough to recognize the absolute necessity of SewTite Magnums. I am so happy to have gotten them. Watching YouTube so I can have maximum use of them. I've sewn the "bottom" magnet into a sewn in pocket, separated every 5", into the leader cloth. It's absolutely dramatic how easy, and safe (from those pins that always seem to prick you no matter how careful you are). I know that using the longarm with my SewTites will keep me sewing. No more nightmares about pinning the quilt. SewTites took care of that problem!
Melanie A.
These magnum magnets have changed my longarm game completely. It’s so fast to load a quilt now that I’ve been swapping projects out like I never have before because it’s just so fast. And making adjustments to that loading is so simple!! It’s an investment but I promise you that you won’t regret it - at all!!!!
Leslie W.
This is the most exciting I have ever used. Getting stuck by pins isn't my favorite part about longarming, but these SewTites are magic and make setting up so easy and fast. Sewtites are the best in longarm quilting!
JM F.
The large magnets were a gift for a friend. She was very excited to receive them.
Susan B.
They are so easy to use and really hold. Saves so much time loading a quilt without pin sticks or struggling to use the snappers.
I highly recommend them
Pamela F.
Didn’t hold as well as I expected, still had to use pins and had to be careful. I’ve loaded three quilts so far and all three quilts I had to reload.
Teresa J.
My order came so quickly after ordering which was great. I placed the sew tites in channels on my long arm leaders and they work perfectly.
Total game change for getting my quilt backs loaded!
Kimberley S.
I was considering buying another magnet but every reviewer, invluding the manufacturer said that if you dont ooen the correctly or drop them on the ground, they would shatter. Who wants shattered magnets on the floor or worse yet, in a quilt that someone may be cuddling with. I went ahead and bit the bullet and purchased these magnets. I couldnt be happier with my purchase. They are just as strong as previous reviews say they are. They have some sort of plastic coating that will keep them from shattering. I am following one reviewers lead and sewing pockets every 6 inches in my aprons to hold them in place, while still being able to slide them where they are needed.
I absolutely love that I don't have to work with pins any longer, getting them caught on my hands when rolling or smoothing fabric or playing his and seek with them when I drop them on the floor. Definitely worth the investment.
LauraRose P.
I have not used them on the long arm yet, however, I did apply them as Ma Tante sewing video shows so I'm ready to sew. Amd. i found an unusual way to use one. I needed to install a shelf in my sewing room and the instructions required that i have a stud finder. I went on line looking for a stud finder and found that they sell "magnetic stud finders" - because they would find the screws or nails. So, i tried it with one of my Magnums, Ta-da! It worked! I found the wall stud.
Jill W.
These were stronger magnets than I was expecting ! Works wonderful instead of pinning or stapling.
Teresa
Love these for long arm quilting
Georgia S.
Got to use magnum sewtites for the first time this weekend. Wonderful! So quick to put the backing on the longarm. Saves time. NO pins--Yay! Minky backing stayed put perfectly.
Kathy S.
No finger pricks. Loading quilt goes very fast and smooth. Very happy with my purchase.
Mary P.
These small magnets are game changers in quilting. They are secure and easy to use. I like the idea of sewing in part of the magnet into the leader cloth hem, to make them even more convient. Since I have the idler pole it is easier to encase the yellow part into the hem casing.
Fiona H.
So easy to use no problem with pins love them
Franci S.
They had to ship mine, great service!
Ilene D.
Easy way to put quilt backings on a frame. Also very easy to make adjustments without undoing the entire thing. I have carpel tunnel and this eliminates all discomfort and makes it enjoyable to do.
Sandy B.
Used them the first time this past week. Took a try or two for me to figure out a comfortable method for attaching (guilty of not reading directions) but they were fantastic! No pin sticks!!!
I spaced them across my leaders and stitched a seam between. Easy peasy!
Sandra H.
I really had my doubts that these would work on my long arm, but after attaching to my leaders and loading a quilt I was sold. They fit snugly on my backing fabric and are super easy to attach and remove. A little pricey but in the long run worth it.
Janey S.
Magnums are working well on my longarm!
Nadine D.
Love them so fast
Patti S.
I purchased Sewtites Magnum Magnets for my long Arm. I have been normally pinning my backing fabric to my leaders. I purchased these magnets to help reduce the time of pinning as well as being poked with the pins. What a life saver these have been. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but they are so worth it. I did have to contact them, because I had ordered 2 sets, but only received 1, and they were so apologetic and got it out in the mail immediately to me. In the past I have purchased smaller magnets from them for my embroidery machine and was amazed how well they held. I highly recommend their products. You won't be disappointed.
Wayne R.
My first quilt back with these was a fleece one and they held beautifully. Im using some more to make longer side clamps for tension as well. Excellent product.
Jodi C.
These are amazing. I'm using to hold fabric onto quilting frame. working well and easy to retighten and position. A must have product. Many uses!
Andy P.
I love that they’re a nice heavy duty magnet. I use them instead of pins on my Long arm machine. This makes everything very secure and saves time. Great product and company
Karen R.
Ordered them. They were delivered to a neighbor on the next street. Husband went after the pkg. and brought it home. End of story.
Nicolette M.
The magnets are a gift for a quilter and it's her birthday, so I'm hoping she enjoys them.
Thank you so much for sending them so quickly they are packaged great.
Ruth N.
I followed the directions of the video for installing my magnets. The video made it very easy to understand. I was initially a little apprehensive because of the size of the magnets, but I have to say that they work amazingly. I did not have any problem with the backing slipping like I did when I used red snappers. They are worth the money, and I highly recommend them. Very easy on my old hands.
Deborah C.
The Sew Tites worked great on my longarm. Love ❤️ them!
Ken M.
They're great!
Constance S.
Excellent for longarm side clamps
Carolyn P.
Very strong magnets. My long arm is in the shop but I look forward to trying them out. Have put them on the pole with material and they don’t slip even when you pull on the material. Good product. Recommend them.
Johanna M.
I had a client that needed magnets in the top of curtains to place on a metal frame, so I used these lovely strong magnets in Velcro closed pockets. They are removable for easy laundering and hold wonderfully! They were a hit!
Faye O.
I love the SewTite Magnums in my leader for my long arm. They are a game changer for loading and keeping quilt where its supposed to be.
And no more pokes with a pin.
Debbie P.
I had been struggling with loading my Longarm because of arthritis in my thumbs. Sew tites make it so easy. Thank you!
Rhonda M.
Magnets make loading quilts so much easier & faster. No poking myself with large pins.
Sandra B.
I normally use leader grips but when you have a backing like minky it is to thick for the leader grips and they take more room on the bar. The sew tites are easy, you can use with heavier backing and they don’t take up as much room on the bar.
Terry B.
Love them
Kathy
Awesome! Quick ship!
Linda L.
They really work loading my quilts! No more wasting fabric using other methods.
LYNDA B.
I love these the only thing I have to suggest and I have already on another place but I would like the steel to put into the leaders etc to be longer so I can place the magnets farther apart or close together depending on the fabrics I am using.
Teri G.
Quick easy and secure when loading my quilts!
Johanna M.
Very happy with these magnets to load quilts on my longarm. I also saw where someone used them to clamp onto the sides of a quilt when enough fabric wasn’t provided from customer. Worked pretty good for that!!!
Johanna M.
Purchased to load my quilts with on my longarm. Makes it quicker to load with ease. Very satisfied customer!
Carmen G.
This is my second purchase. I loved the first set of 20 so much I knew I needed more. They work perfectly on my longarm. I had used a snap on style product to hold the fabric to the long arm but that was tough on my hands. The magnets make lining up and securing fabric simple, easy, and painless. The video on how to use the magnets is very helpful, too. Highly recommend!
Kimberly F.
These magnets are awesome on our long arm. SO glad we could replace the whole process of pinning!!!
Vera N.
I use instead of pinning backs on my longarm. I sewed into the leader sleeves.
Janet S.
I started using them on a backing and they worked extremely well. These will be part of my loading process moving forward. I have been primarily using pins because of the accuracy they provide when loading the back and top. Sew Tite Magnums equaled the accuracy.
Jackie M.
I bought these to use for loading the backing on my longarm frame. Where have these been all my life? Seriously, best loading experience ever. I sewed the metal pieces into the casings of my leaders to make it easier. Couldn’t be happier!!
Tracy C.
Bought the magnums to add to the longarm leaders to speed up the loading process. Worked great!! Well worth the cost.
Shelly E.
I am using my sew tiles instead of my red snapper system. Don’t have the hand strength to put them together, but watched how to use your tiles to keep on quilting.
Carmen G.
I ordered the 5-piece set as an add-on to the 20-piece set. Nice addition to my long arm quilting processes. Product shipped quickly, is as advertised, and communication with the shop was strong during order and shipping. I highly recommend the product and ordering from this shop.
Carmen G.
20-piece set comes in a neat little tin, easy to keep organized. The magnets seem well made and easy to use. Ordering was easy, shipping was quick, communication during the process was strong. I highly recommend this product and ordering directly from this shop.
Donna K.
I was concerned about the cost of these, but went ahead and purchased enough to do the top leader of my eight foot long arm frame.
After the install was complete, I put a 'sandwich' on the frame, and it was a 'joyful' experience in that it was quick, and without bloodshed (used no pins on the top leader)! LOL
At that point, I went back and purchased enough for the bottom bar too!
Such ease, it was a relaxing affair for once!
melissa m.
I purchased these hoping it would save me some time loading my quilts, not to mention finger pricks. I purchased my first set of Magnums and quickly bought a second set. I absolutely love these. I loaded a queen sized quilt backing and top using these. They are a must for quilting. I know they are an investment but they are completely worth it. I highly recommend these to any longarm quilter.
LYNDA B.
I just love these but I can't afford enough to do the job. They are awesome and no pins to draw blood!
Donal C.
They make loading a longarm so quick and easy!
Anna F.
Sew far, sew good. I've quilted three quilts since getting the Sew Tite Magnums. I first purchased the pack of 20. The first quilt I did, I used 10 in the take up leader and 10 in the backing leader ( I baste my whole quilt top, I don't use the top leader). I had previously stapled the backing to my leaders, so I had already constructed and sewed a pocket made of pillow ticking to my leaders. I slid the metal bars into the pocket, but I didn't do anything to keep them from moving around. As a result, I had a bit of problem with slippage, so I decided to order another pack of 20. I decided I was committed, so I sewed pockets 6 inches apart to contain the metal bar and keeping it from slipping all over the leader pocket, and put 20 bars in each leader. I've done two quilts this way, so far, and I'm pleased with the results. The first quilt was 124" wide, so it was a real test, and it passed.
Nancy G.
holds my quilt on the Longarm amazing
Ruth N.
It took me a while to buy these because of the price . I do have to say they are worth it. I will be buying more as I am able to do so. I have pinned and used red snappers and these are so much easier on my hands. I am able to get a much more even load without fabric slipping. The video that they have of how to use them made all the difference.
Nancy G.
The longer magnets made it so easy to load my quilt on my Longarm
