Wow!I never would have thought about boiling them, mine are still working fine & not getting loose yet, but will keep this in mind, also the dishwasher seems a good idea too.

what a great idea! I am going to try that. I was just getting set to order some new clamps actually. So I will try this first. Thanks so much for sharing.

How old are you q-snaps that they have become loose? Ive had mine for a year or so and have no prob ...

If you slide the older ones, like mine, slightly off top centre of the frame you will hear a crunching kind of sound. That is what I think causes them to loosen up. My daughter has a newer snap and has not had that happen to her. But I also notice her clamps are different from mine. They are a thicker plastic so I think more resistant to stress.

When Q-Snap was created it was done with the quilter in mind. I spoke to the inventer and a very nice man who said he came up with the idea to help his wife make her hand quilting easier. But it works very well for the stitcher too. A double plus for me as I love both!
