She is referring to your take up roller. The roller where all 3 finished layers are going. Insert a dowel of some sort, or even an extra hunk of batting, a washcloth, rags, towels, anything to take up the slack in your sides. As you roll up (advance) the quilt you would put this excess space taker upper (yes that is a technical term!
) in the side areas just to take up the slack. Clear as mud?
