Thanks for all the suggestions. I bought and tried the Red Snappers on a quilt, but had trouble getting the the top loaded completely straight across the frame. It was off 1/4" and it really showed up at the bottom. Haven't used them since. suebee, I think the quilt is going in the right direction, the quilt top and the quilt backing rollers load from the inside between the two rollers , and the backing is brought over to the take up roller and the batting floats between the top and bottom. I'll run the video again to make sure I'm pinning the top and backing to the correct edge of the leader. I know both piecess roll up correctly on the rollers. I've done something wrong on the last 3 quilts, because the first 2 turned out just fine. Thanks so much for taking the time to offer suggestions. Most of the time quilting with the Avante is like trying to coast a 747 down one of WV's narrow country roads. The slightest movement can send you way off the road.
