FromtheNest Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I recently saw a picture of someone with a quilt loaded and She had a bungie cord with beads on it stretched across her top. Does anyone know what it is for and if there is a source for it? It looks like it would be helpful in keeping your quilt square, but not sure. Thanks!

Gail O Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 The quilter probably floats the tops, and the markers are used to keep the a piecing lines straight. There are various methods of doing this. Below is a commercial version of the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kueser Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I use pieces of black quarter-inch elastic tied around the top roller to align the edges, center, and midpoints as I roll the quilt forward. The tight elastic stays secure but is flexible enough that I can move up or down the roll to match the current quilt I am working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
