I love my q snaps & have all different sizes, I find that putting them in the dishwasher cleans & tightens them up.

Now, that is a good tip - thank you. I've also passed it on to my sister-in-law who swears by her q snaps.................  Post time 2015-3-13 21:56

I use an 11 x 11 Q snap.  No stand.  Perfect for the work I do - not at all hard to maneuver around.
