Question how to mount a quilt on the frame

My rails are about 115" long measured from gear to gear. I'm going to add a picture of the base and a drawing I made with measurements. If you have any questions or need more pictures, just let me know. I'll try to answer anything about it.

I have a quilt frame very similar to this that was passed down to me. Now I have made a quilt top and am ready to mount it on the frame. And,I think I know how to do that but I'm not sure. And, the frame has fabric wrapped around and tacked to the frame at places -- What are those for?
