long arm quilting machine
#6
I used painter's tape on my first frame and just taped them to a seam line on the poles. On the second frame I used sticky back velcro on the poles.
I use T-pins to pin my backing & quilt tops to the leaders. Didn't want to mess with zippers, basting guns or anything else. The pins stay in the leaders so I don't have to go hunting for them later.

Congratulations on your new machine! I have a Handiquilter and mine are put on with the sticky velcro. It also is important to get it on with a straight line. A laser light was used and worked like a charm! It is handy to be able to take your quilt on and off. I have a double set of leaders for when I'm practicing and then when I need to do a real quilt I just switch out the leaders...easy on...easy off! Hope that helps! :-D

I just put leaders on my frame - made them out of decorator striped fabric... I used wide masking tape to put them on.
I will probably do the velcro next time around - get sticky back to put on the poles and regular sew in for the material... love that idea!
