Preparing the Quilt Layers
Iron the quilt top and back and mark
your quilting pattern on the quilt top, if
necessary.
Make sure your quilt back and batting
measure at least 4 inches wider than the
quilt top on all sides, as shown in Figure
3.1.
Find the center of your quilt top and
back. An easy way to do this is to fold
the quilt in half lengthwise and mark the
center with a pin on each end of the
quilt top and back, as shown in Figure
3.2.
Place a small safety pin at the midpoint
of the canvas on Poles 1, 2, and 3. You
will use these marks to align the
centerpoints of your quilt top and back
when you pin them to the frame.
