backing, along the pinned edge on the take up rail.
If you have the Optional 4th Rail
, roll the batting onto rail, being sure to roll the proper direction so
that it, like the quilt top, comes off the rail from the bottom when unrolling.
STEP 4: ATTACHING YOUR QUILT LAYERS
TO THE TAKE UP RAIL
Take the edge of the quilt backing and pin it
along the straight line of the take up rail leader in a
smooth manner, without it stretching your fabric.
Next, bring your batting up in between the
3rd rail and 2nd rail and drape over the backing.
Lay it along the pin line of your backing on the take
up rail cloth leader.
Finally, bring the quilt top up over the
backing and batting and lay it 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 is a smooth manner.
STEP 5:
PUTTING YOUR MACHINE/CARRIAGES ONTO FRAME
• First, remove your Cone Thread Holder off your carriage before you can slide your machine inside. You may have
to take your cone thread guides out.
• Remove the take up rail with fabric and rest it on the bottom of the rail mount ends.
• Slide your machine into the carriage from the back. It might be
easier if your carriage is all the way to the front, so it does not slide
with you.
• Once you have your machine on you can put your Cone Thread
Holder back on as well as putting your rail back in place.
• Slide the carriages all the way to the left (non-ratchet wheel side).
• Put the left end of the take up rail with fabric through the throat of
the machine (feeding the fabric layers under the raised presser foot).
•Put the take up rail back in the slots or the mounts.

want to park it to one side of your frame.)
