Craftychick Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Has anyone used the leader fabric sold by Bayside Quilting in Olympia WA on their frame? I am thinking about installing new leaders and like the look of the striped fabric Bayside offers. It comes in a few different colours and the stripes in the fabric would certainly help line things up. There is always an uncertainty when purchasing something sight unseen online though. Just wondering how sturdy the fabric is and how it holds up. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I haven't used it but I've seen it. It's not as heavy as the heavy canvas of the original leaders but feels like it would work fine. I'm tempted to buy as well, but have asked the Christmas fairy for new APQS leaders. One can't be too early with the hints ya know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitepinesquilter Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Is the weight like pillow ticking but in 45" width? At 35 cents an inch for a lighter weight you are better off ordering the heavier weight 54/55" width Waverly or Coventry pillow ticking or stick with the tried and true APQS leaders. jmho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craftychick Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Linda - lol, I thought you might have seen the fabric in person seeing as you are in Olympia. Actually you brought me to Bayside when I visited almost 5 years ago. Oh my! Where does time go?! It's good to know that the fabric is lighter. Not what I am looking for. Still working on possibly attending MQX West next week. Would love to see you again!. Marci - sounds like the weight is lighter. Your suggestion of possibly ordering heavier and wider ticking is a great one that I hadn't even thought of! Will look in to that otherwise it will be tried and true APQS leaders. Thanks for your replies. I appreciate them. Very helpful and informative members as always on this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
