Does the sticky velcro stick to the fabric?
I had read that you use the sew on kind for the fabric end and the sticky one for the rods.
A good tip also is to sew your quilt onto the leader with water soluble thread.
Have not done either yet.
My table has the groove with the tube insett. This dosnt take up valuable space on rod that is inside the throat. I made a pocket on muslin and sliped the tube thru it and then into the groove. But this is the only leader Im going to do this way, velcro for the rest. I sliped with the roller tool and almost tore off my thumb nail.
For my practice fmq I am using fusible spray and so far it is working very well and dont need any leaders except on the backing.
