this may sound dumb, but im quite new to cross stitching and things and wanted to know what a q-sna ...

A Q-Snap is a type of stitching frame.  Its very easy to set up as well as easy to take apart if you need to tighten up your stitching project.  They tend not to warp the fabric like standard hoops.  For my small projects theyre all Ive used for over 10 years.  

But I was unaware of the method of tightening them up.  Thanks so much!  Ive gone out and just bought another set as Im always fiddling with them anyway and somehow end up missing pieces,

Ill give this a go. I had an extra layer of fabric wrapped around to take up the slack.

That is a fantastic tip, thanks! I want to get qsnaps, my frame is horrible.

Does q - snaps are really useful? Or is it only gadget? :)

I havent needed to do this yet but I did read about it somewhere that it is a good way to "tighten" the snaps

Mine is too tight. I actually have problem trying to dismantle it but I guess its just new. Thanks for the tip.
