Thread: leads on my quilting machine

I was wondering what you do? my lead are held on with velcro, but the valcro is starting to let loose of the poles, how do i keep the valcro stuck to the poles?

I don't know about others, but mine have velcro. They came with the machine.

Mine is on with some type of tape ... looks like that packing tape you can't tear. Can you replace the velcro?

They also sell carpet tape that is really strong, but I would probably just replace the velcro.

depends on the thickness of your board, I would get some of those orange oversized clamps and use those OVER the Velcro

I dont know how to help you with this one. Mine have not come off the poles yet.
I love your quilt in your avatar.

I attached my leaders with duct tape. I got it at Joann's and the Duck Tape brand comes in a variery of fun colors

I also used duct tape (purple!). It has not budged at all.

They beat me to it!!! DUCT TAPE!!!!

I have velcro now but I do believe the painters tape I was using before held better. Painters tape won't leave the gooey stuff behind like duct tape does.
