I need to make my leader cloths for my new quilt frame. I bought cotton ticking. I know you make them approx. the length of the poles but how wide should the cloths be? Someone told me they are different widths depending on which pole they are on.

Is this a machine quilting frame or a hand quilting frame?

if it's for a machine frame, mine are apx. (I'm not at home):
the takeup roller = 5"
the backing roller = 18"
and the roller for the top is about 24"
what frame are you working on?
