Make (2) 6 inch leaders of duck cloth (canvas) or ticking. This is a 6 inch by length of pole strip of cloth with a hem sewn in (lengthwise)-big enough to put the pole in. Slide onto poles. Mark the center of the leader with magic marker.
With your kind of frame, you will need to baste the quilt before placing on the frame. After basting the quilt, place onto the leaders by pinning (with flat quilt pins), beginning with the center and working outwards. Start at the top of the quilt.
Roll the quilt taut in one direction. Pin onto the bottom leader. Now distribute the quilt so that the center of the quilt is in the middle of the frame. Begin quilting.
