Step 1-3: Roll your leader and backing onto
the 2nd rail completely. Watch to make sure
the fabric stays lined up. Smooth out any
wrinkles as you roll by brushing the fabric
from the center out. However, be very careful
not to stretch or pull the fabric excessively.
Note: It is important that you roll the rail the
proper direction so the fabric rolls over and
onto the 2nd rail (Fig. 1-2).
Step 2: Attaching Your Quilt Layers to
The Take-Up Rail
Step 2-1: Take the top edge of the quilt
backing and pin it along the straight line of the take up rail
leader in a smooth manner, without stretching your fabric.
Smooth and drape the excess off the front of the quilting frame.
See Fig. 2-1.
Step 2-2: Next, lay your batting along the pin line of your
backing on the take up rail cloth leader. Smoothly lay it over
the quilt backing and drape the excess off the front of the
quilting frame. See Fig. 2-1.
Step 2-3: Finally, lay the quilt top over the batting along the
pin line on the take up rail cloth leader. Pin your top and batting
along the same line as your backing so that it is smooth.
Smoothly lay the rest over the batting and drape the excess off
the front of the quilting frame. See Fig. 2-1.
Step 2-4:
Adjust the height of your fabric off of the throat
plate of your sewing machine. Do this by rolling the machine
to one end of the table, and adjusting the Wing Knob to move
each of the Rail Holder Brackets so that the bottom of the quilt
is 1/4" above the throat of your sewing machine base and
parallel to the throat plate. See Fig. 2-2.
Step 2-5: Roll your sewing machine to the other end of the
table and repeat Step 2-4.
Rolling fabric
● When you have completed your work area and are ready to roll to the next, simply disengage the
ratchet stop on the front rail allowing it to roll freely. Then, with one or both hands, roll the Take-Up Rail
forward, rolling the completed work area onto that Rail. Repeat Step 2-4 as needed.
Step 1: Install quilt backing to 2nd rail and roll up.
