Quesion for the long & mid armers out there!?
I have a Janome 1600P (mid arm) on a Grace Pinnacle queen size frame. Anyway my first customer's queen size quilt the top isn't super square but not too bad so I lined it up best I could. So my question is, do you prefer to "float" your tops or do you attach your top to the roller bar? I've done it both ways, floating is faster but which way to you prefer and why? Thanks!

I only float. I attach the backing fabric, stitch the batting to the backing and then I stitch the quilt top (same as batting). So my batting and quilt top hang free. I do stitch down as I roll. I, too, want to be able to keep my batting in line.

I am also finding its more stress free to float when a quilt top isn't really square because the top does not like to roll on that roller without wrinkling. I usually let my batting hang free too
