question to longarm quilters
#1
Does anyone who uses a longarm and has zippered leaders ever baste the leaders to their quilt top before loading it to be quilted? I have zippered leaders and have always pinned them to my quilt tops for fear of them becoming worn out if I sewed them too many times. Does this happen?
Thanks! :-D
Thanks! :-D

I have zippers. I baste them on with my domestic. Set tension loose. Easy to remove. Lately I haven't been using them. One that is stitched to my leader lost a couple teeth. "Tooth fairy" needs to visit. LOL
