Bingo. The tacks on the sides have to be removed so you can roll the quilt. Try to keep the tension even as you roll. If it is too tight, it is difficult to get a good stitch. If it is too loose, you might get wrinkles underneath on the backing. If it is just right, you can zip along and get really nice even stitches on top and underneath! Use the quilters' knot and bury your knots so you don't have any ugly surprises when you take the quilt out of the frame, just like any other frame! :lol:
