17 x 17 frame - 70 inches fabric (with this length you would likely need to sew two strips of fabric together).If you regularly work on larger pieces you will have lots of excess material to pack in there so may want to be slightly more generous with the material.įor example I am making a guard for my 11 x 11 Q-snap, so the length needed is 11 x 4 + 2 = 46 inches Dimensions for Q-snap sizes / combinations (all sizes in inches) This is the Q-snap brand of cover for an 11 x 11 frame - as you can see it just fits and doesn’t really have any allowance to hold much excess fabric.Īdd the lengths of the sides of your Q-snap together and then add two inches to allow for the seam where the fabric joins together to form the circle and also the bulk from the fabric.
They are actually very easy to make as it is only a seam and two long hems. I recently bought one that was Q-snap’s own brand and although it works it was a little too snug and so did not hold the excess fabric easily so I decided to try making my own while I was visiting my mum (and her sewing machine!).
I was always a die-hard hoop stitcher but recently starting using Q-snap’s and am now completely converted! Q-snap covers or “Grime Guards” as many people call them are useful for protecting and keeping your fabric clean while working on a project and also holding the excess fabric on a larger project out of the way.
