I've always heard that you can start from one side and quilt to the other side with a frame.
However, since there is no tensioning on the sides of this frame, I decided to start at the center and work outwards towards both sides.
I may buy some tensioning clamps in the future...we'll see how this goes...
This frame has so many cogs on the ratchet wheels that it really is easy to get perfect tension from front to back and I don't notice much looseness at the sides...but I thought I'd start in the middle just to make sure that any fullness gets worked to the outer edge.
