Somebody who knows more than me may be able to explain this better, but when you pin your quilt top to a zipper and your back to a zipper, it makes loading the quilt on the LA that much faster as you only need to zip the backing on the appropriate canvas/rod and roll that, then zip the top on the appropriate canvas/ rod and roll that and wallah, you are ready to quilt.
Hope this makes sense.
