Attaching The Top Leader - Bernina Q 24 Manual

> To mark the center of the take-up rail, unroll the back leader. Using a quilting guide, first transfer the
center of the back leader onto the dead bar and from there onto the take-up rail. Make sure that
everything is aligned correctly at right angles.
> Fit the take-up leader from the back of the quilting frame.
> Measure and then use a pencil to mark out a point 155 cm (61 inches) to the left and the right of the
marked center.
> Attach double-sided adhesive tape (M18) from the left-hand marking all the way to the right-hand
marking. Be sure to attach the tape straight without any kinks.
> Remove the protective film on the top of the adhesive tape.
> Unfold the take-up leader so that the material is suspended between you and the rail and the printed
side is pointing toward you.
> Position the center line of the take-up leader (dark broken line) on the marked center of the take-up rail.
> Attach the leader to the adhesive tape, working from the center outward to the left and right. Make sure
you guide the edge of the material precisely along the edge of the adhesive tape.
> Press the leader firmly onto the adhesive tape and roll it up.
> Check to ensure that the center of the take-up leader and the back leader line up precisely. If necessary,
reposition the take-up leader.
> Trim any excess adhesive tape.
