I do longarm quilting for other people. I have tried different ways for attaching the quilt to the frame and this is by far the best and the easiest way. It was an investment but well worth the cost. I highly recommend the sewtite magnums! My next purchase will be the sewtite cutting system!
Jana A.
Great product! Fast shipping. Makes it quick and easy to load quilts onto the Longarm frame. 10/10 recommend!
Janet L.
I'm using the Sewtite Magnums on my Cutie frame for quilting. So far, I'm experimenting, but think they will work wonderfully. Love that you can slide them to separate one part from the other, and love the strength of them.
Thank you!!
Carol R.
Loved using the Sewtites magnets on my long arm. When I saw a video using the magnets instead of pins, I had to try it. They are soooo much easier and less painful, and they never get bent like pins do. I also love the idea of using the small ones to hold paper pieces together. I plan to use it making my second 3D star. I look forward to other ideas you have for using these magnets. Thanks.

I'm looking forward to the new system for hanging quilts on the wall. I've already pre-ordered.

Hi! I'm a Brick and Mortar Quilt Shop. I stock SewTite Magnums, and use them on my long arm machine.
I love how tight they hold my backing in place! They are an investment in your time and sanity, and worth every penny.
If you are on the fence, just take the plunge. They are a quality of life item in my opinion.
I can load a 120x120 quilt backing so swiftly! It's fabulous!!

Game changer for me!!!!! I have had
Arthritis in my hand and it flares up using the red snappers in the past. I switched to the sewtites and absolutely love them. It is so much easier now for me to load my quilts. My hand already feels better not having to press on the snappers. I was hesitant about spending the money but it is already well worth the investment.
Roger P.
Love them makes loading a quilt a snap!

I bought the sew tites magnums to use on my longarm. I love them and I'm telling all my quilter friends about them.
Margaret M M.
I bought them to save time and effort from my clip ons.They worked really well but one end kept coming off. I finally put a pin to hold it and it worked. I do like thembut I need more time to give a real review
Cheryl E.
This Company is GREAT to deal with. The magnets are wonderful on my longarm machine. Made it so easy and time saving to use. Well worth the cost.
Rebecca
Fast shipping and they are a game changer
Patty B.
Exactly what I expected.
Debra A.
I thought they were fairly expensive.
Michelle P.
Arrived so quickly! They work great!
Emma E.
Quick and fast service. Strong and hold tightly to bars.
Mary S.
I love the Sew Tite magnums. I use them on my long arm and no longer stick myself repeatedly with pins. I can now load a quilt in minutes instead of a hour no matter the size. I highly recommend Sew Tite magnums. Mary S.
Joyce B.
I am using them more and more each day on projects in my sewing room. I make Lovey blankets and they are so handy to hold the fabric together without shifting. I also use them in my quilt projects. Do have a warning on the bigger Sewtites be careful they do pinch but after using them so much you learn.
Rebecca
The price is a bit too high but I love the magnets
Olivia H.
I tried cheaper knock-offs for six months but two different brands were both too thick as well as magnetic on both pieces so they kept sticking to the bars and made it difficult to roll the sandwich. I finally caved and tried enough to attach king size to the take-up bar.. HUGE DIFFERENCE in time savings as well as no bloody fingers. SssooooI caved again and bought another 20 sewtites for the bottom of the backing-“king size” . I have been using for over a month and LOVE THEM! I rotate quilts alot and these take me 20 minutes vs the 45 min to an hour to unpin, rotate, & repin. These are worth every penny!!!!!
Gail M.
Doesn’t work really well on my Little Foot frame with a big quilt. Haven’t tried the small quilt yet
Jan M.
I have been investigating options to attach my quilt to the frame for almost a year now. I didn’t even know about the magnets but a quilting friend had told me about them. She used the red snappers. I was also investing the zipper option. After all my research I decided to make the investment in the magnets and I’m SO glad I did. I sewed them into my leaders and have quilted two quilts since the installation. They are a big investment but I’m glad I invested in these instead of other options. You can find videos on YouTube on how to sew them into your leaders and attaching a quilt and the SewTite website has their own video and it is excellent. I highly recommend this option if you’re serious about your quilting.
Linda B.
I haven't really used them on a quilt yet but, they are strong and looking forward to.
Candy A.
The sewtites magnum save my back from pain with bending and my fingers from pin pricks when loading my quilts on my longarm!
Maria T.
My Sew Tites are a Christmas present. I am confident that they will exceed my expectations and I am looking forward to installing them in my long arm leaders.
Sharon H.
What more can be said that hasn't been said already...I LOVE THEM!!
At first I thought they were a little expensive, but the time they save when loading your quilt is AMAZING.
If you longarm quilt they are a "must" buy.
Denise W.
I was watch Becky from Power Tools with Thread when she was talking about the sew tites magnums for her longarm. She said it was a game changer and she wasn’t kidding! I then watched your video on installing them on the longarm. Easy peasy! I cannot believe the ease of mounting quilts on the frame now! I told a friend and she’s coming over to check it out! No more red snappers or pins for me! Thank you for this awesome product! Love them!
Harold M.
This is the first time to use Sew Tites and it is much easier to get a tighter backing loaded that the long plastic strips we were using. Easy to adjust backing tightness if there are any loose areas to prevent lumping when stitching the quilt sandwich together. They hold tight the fabric and since they are thinner go under the idler bar without resistance or hanging up on the bar. Magnets are super strong and manage the backing in a taught state allowing for smoother quilting experience. I encourage anyone to try Sew Ties over the other methods of attaching the quilt backing to the long arm. Great product.
Jenny K.
Used sew tite magnums for the first time and I LOVE them! I have spray basted and pinned many quilts over the years. It is time consuming and difficult to do. The sew tite magnums hold thick material with no problems at all! Worth every cent to be rid of the hassle of pinning and material adjustment mishaps. The time saved by using the sew tite magnums have literally cut my time for framing and quilting my quilts by about 2/3.
Loucendy B.
I used the SewTites Magnum on a zipper system on the local quilt stores long arm machine.
Rhonda L.
They are exactly what I wanted.
Karen H.
After researching best way to load a quilt on my longarm, my choice are the Sew Tite Magnums. Much faster and easier to load a built top. Love them.
Jeanne L.
Ask again after Christmas! My sew-tites are a Christmas present for me!! Thanks
Carol A.
I have not had time to put them into my longarm yet, but I have used them for my regular machine for holding things in place for the time being until I finish with what I am working on right now.
They are the greatest!
Karol B.
Adam Sew Fun demonstrated the simplicity of loading quilts using the Magnum Sew Tites. When the first box arrived, I knew I wanted the second one right away. Love the quick delivery and appreciated using Adam’s influencer discount. Great product. Performs as advertised.
Sandra
I have always been impressed with the SewTites products. I expect these to be very helpful in quilting

I have tried other methods of mounting tops on my longarm. The Sew Tites system is the best thing I have purchased for my quilting business since I bought my Gammill Statler in 2006. Invest in your business. Sew Tite will save you time and increase accuracy.
Cheryl E.
I am installing the Sew Tites this weekend. I have a new IQ guidance system and these Sew Tites will be great to increase my productivity by cutting down the installation time for my quilts and I won’t have pin holes in my fingers.
I am looking forward to getting them installed and load a quilt.
Kari O.
I placed the Magnum SewTites in my long arm leaders; I have a 14’ frame, so I purchased three packs of twenty and sewed the back into my leaders every six inches. I’ve found it easy & fast to load my quilt top and backing; these are strong magnets that hold my quilts well.
Judy J.
I love these things! After poking myself with pins and trying to fashion some diy red snappers I bit the bullet and bought the sew tite magnums for my long arm. Not only can I use them on that, I can also use them on my embroidery to hold down material or stabilizers on my magnetic hoop.
Kathy C.
Loved these magnets they are the perfect length for spacing & holding my backing to the longarm. Great purchase for those of us who keep getting stuck by pins. Service from sewtites was fantastic. I emailed them because i had problems applying a coupon code and they immediately responded & refunded me savings from the coupon code. Thanks so much!! That’s great customer relations!
Michelle P.
I bought my first set about a year ago and just recently bought a second set. The first set is used on the pick up bar of my longarm. I'll use the second set on the backing bar so the backing will be supported completely by Magnums. They are very secure and faster to load than pins. I float my tops so 2 sets is all I need
Margie P.
I love these long yellow Sew Tites. They are perfect for when I am doing edge to edge quilting. With my magnet frame. The Sew Tites hold my quilt securely and make it easy to move around the quilt
Adrean
As a longarmer these are a lifesaver for loading quilts…and no more pin pricked fingers!!
Karol B.
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.
Laura T.
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.
Marie K.
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.
Sharon L.
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.
Lynn L.
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!
