Longarm quilters -- do you use zippers?
#14
Zippers are fantastic for new quilters. Your quilt is always centered. Do a search on long arm leaders. The heavier material ones are the best. The cheap material gets out of shape quickly and is hard to work with.

I pin at the top and again at the bottom of the backing. I use the QuiltTak for the bottom of the quilt top as then I can get closer with my quilting than I could with pinning.
I baste my quilt top and backing at the top of my quilt before I begin quilting with the machine.
