I took a one yard wide piece of mulin foled in half sewed a rod pocket along the fold to slide over the rods and sewed a seam on the other end so it will give me two layers to baste to Gives me about 16 inches to baste to

The first leaders I made were about 12", the leaders I use now are about 20"(The poles were different sizes). Basically it needs to be able to wind around your pole several times before it attaches to the quilt. You can use muslin as suggested, but my second set is much nicer and thicker than muslin.
