Yes Christine, you said it much more clearly than I did! I have come to realize that the issue is that my take up roller doesn't have an adjustment to move it up. It "floats" in a groove and in theory as the quilt rolls onto the bar it will move up, but in reality it just doesn't function that way. So I need to either find a "make do" solution or look at a new frame. But thanks so much to everyone for commenting because you really helped me to figure out what the actual issue is! I'm headed to the quilt show in Cincinnati in a few months and I think I will do some "market research!" Thanks everyone for your input!
