1: First, select your cloth leader material. We recommend using a good quality muslin or similar fabric
that has a good thread count. Be aware, however, that if the fabric is too thick, it may prove more
difficult getting it installed into the rail slot.
2: Surge or hem your cloth leaders on all sides.
3: Make cloth leaders in the widths shown. (The recommended length is 105”, this length will
accommodate any width of quilt that can be made on your Quilting Frame.)
4: Make a dashed line along the length of your leader about ½” in from the edge with a pen or
marker. You will use this as a guide to help you insert your leader into the slot in straight line.
5: Mark each cloth leader at the center (length-wise).
6: Mark (or baste) a straight line about ½” in from the opposite (non-hemed, or non-dashed) end
of the leader. This will be the line to which you attach your fabric layer.
7:
Center your cloth leader lengthwise along the rail. Using Grace’s Fabri-FastTM System, take a
piece of plastic tubing (cut to the appropriate length), and, holding your cloth leader to the slot
(lining up the dashed line), press the tubing over the leader and into the slot. Use the Fabri-Fast
tool to press the rest of the tube and fabric in quickly and easily. (If you have made a hem, line
up this hem w/ tubing over the slot and press it into the slot using the Fabri-Fast tool.
8: With Cloth Leaders in place, pin your Quilt Fabric to the Leaders, rather than attaching it directly
to the Rails.
