DIRECTIONS FOR ATTACHING LEADERS (APRONS)
STEP 1
Standing at the front of your frame,
or so that the end of the frame with
the ratchet wheels is on your right
side. Tape the long edge of the fabric
to the rollers using any heavy-duty
tape, such as duct tape or cloth
mending tape.
The 15” wide apron goes on the front
roller. The 10” wide apron goes on
the middle roller, and the 5” wide
apron goes on the rear roller.
The aprons must be taped on
straight. Start by using several small
pieces of tape spaced out across the
roller.
See Fig. 1
You can look down the end of the
roller to see if it is straight.
See Fig. 3
below.
Then put one long strip of tape
across the whole roller.
See Fig. 2
The leaders will roll over the top of
the roller toward the back of the
frame.
See Figs. 3 and 4
The leaders will drape off of the roll-
ers, providing an edge to pin your
quilt to. See following pages on how
to attach the quilt layers.
