Default Added tape measures to the longarm leaders

I recently added tape measures to all 3 longarm leaders. I bought the 120" tapes at Walmart (each came with 2 marking pencils for less than $3). I pinned two leaders together, laid out the tapes, and then sewed each tape on with the longarm. I use Red Snappers for loading quilts, but I took them out while doing this. I also snipped off the metal end of each tape - didn't want to hit it with the longarm needle! This should make it a lot easier to load quilts.
