Quilting Basics
•
Stand at the needle side of the frame and hold the quilt top right side up. Find the safety pin you
added to the backing fabric which designated its “top edge”. Hold your quilt so that the safety pin you
added to it is located in the same position. For example, if you loaded your quilt sideways and the
safety pin in your backing is on the left side of the frame, hold the quilt top so its safety pin is also on
the left side.
Place the excess body of the quilt top across the frame and
over the Pick Up Roller. Then align the straight edge with the
Quilt Top Roller’s canvas edge, matching your center mark
from the quilt top with the center mark on the canvas.
If the quilt is square and wavy borders are not a concern, pin
as you did the backing fabric, working from the center out. You
should come out to the same numbers on the left and right
along your canvas leader, if you have marked your canvases.
