Question Help with Floor Frame

So I've been doing some research about floor frames and could use a tiny bit of advice, if it's possible.

All of the floor frames I've seen, shows that the rollers actually have canvas on them, to allow the quilt to be pinned to it, then rolled and tightened. My floor frame didn't come with the canvas, so I've got an idea but want to see if I'm on the right track or maybe get some different ideas. I tried to attach pictures for reference, but my connection is being a pain tonight, so I've linked my post from this last VQW.

Am I right to assume that the canvas is actually put on the rollers prior to the quilt and that they're somehow attached via safety pins or maybe Velcro for easy removal? Instead of canvas, could I use Muslin instead and should there be some form of padding around the rollers?

I don't want to do anything wrong with the frame, I am still a couple of months or more away from actually using it, but if there's something special that I need to get, I need to know now so I can start looking and saving the money.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks everyone!
