Love this tutorial. Have never seen these. A brand X quilter manufacturer (that I own) had me loading everything from the top down. Your way is going to save me hundreds of hours and an aching back. Thank-you so much! ❤
Corey always uses his channel lock to create a perfect straight line to match the quilt top to:) He prefers to float his quilt to have more control of possible shifting and helps eliminate quilt top overstretch.
One more question: I love that you basted on the batting rather than pinning. So, when you double bat, do you baste them on both together or one at a time? Thanks! ❤
QQuestion… I have had the experience of my sew head getting stuck in the back right corner and it pulled out the backing messing up all the beautiful loading process and then I have to get it back on in the middle of the quilting! Do you have any suggestions on how to avoid this scenario? 😂
You definitely can:) Corey normally puts his batting between those bars and then the top floats on the front. Just in case you have to pick it up and remove stray threads or shift the batting:)
Three more questions, if I may...sorry, but had more eye surgeries. 1). How do you cut your batting so straight? 2). My leaders are waaaaaay shorter than yours, so couldn't load everything from front. Are there long leaders that I can buy for my 10' HQ frame that are as awesome as yours? 3).Do you ever use the side grips or is that not necessary with the basting? Thanks!!!
No worries! Corey uses the back of his table and puts his scissors against the track and uses that for a straight line. We don’t sell additional leaders, you can still load from the back:) He still uses side grips:)
I LOVED how easy you made it look and how fun this video was.

Glad we could help:)
I love my red snappers! Great tutorial as always.
Thanks!
Very good tutorial! Thank you so much. Just curious, do you always use the channel locks? Also, why do you recommend floating a quilt?

Great rutorial. I have never floated. Now i lnow how.
Thanks for watching!
Do you baste the side edges you quilt as you go?😊
Corey bastes the quilt edges as he goes:)
Do you place the side clamps on the backing before or after you baste the sides?
After:)

Thank you for that question:)
Corey said that he just bastes them together❤️

Hi there! Can you send us a picture of what you are describing? We can take this to Corey and get you an answer:) Email us at support@lindas.com.
Would placing the hanging fabric between the front bars would be a way to stabilize the quilt and keeping it straight?
You definitely can:) Corey normally puts his batting between those bars and then the top floats on the front. Just in case you have to pick it up and remove stray threads or shift the batting:)
