    I got these from www.sewingmachinesupplies.com for some reason they were cheaper than getting them direct from Grace. They also honor comp prices and have free shipping on orders over $100 I think. They are in CA so it took a few days to come in, but well worth the wait and the price.

    I am sooooo trying to finish a quilt that is on the frame now, and as soon as it is done I will let you know how it goes installing these, complete with pics!!!

    They have velcro on them and then rolls of the other side of velcro come with it. You run the velcro down the rail and just attach them with it. Thank God becuase I was really getting tired of having to adjust the ones on it because that tubing which is like IV tubes (plastic) does not hold well and you end up with things getting out of line.

    The frame is a pain to get together, but if you got the DVD with yours you can do what it says and pause it and move on to the next step etc until done. There are a lot of parts to put together on the Grace but well worth it when you get it up. Make sure you have a big room. I have a large room and still do not have mine in the KING size, there is one more section that I have in the closet because my room is not long enough either direction for it and like I said I thought this was a pretty big room.

    We built our own frame but I am not sure I could install one of these on my frame???........envy you.... :D :D :D
    What are you using for rails on your frame? Surely you could use them. The grace rails are a metal type material, sorry I am no good at describing parts type stuff unless its needles etc! LOL
    They attach with velcro.

    I made a set sof leaders too and have had a lot of nightmares with them. I am praying these will fix the frustrations I have. I really love having a frame that way I do not have to send my toppers off. Even though my work is not real fancy I still love it.

    Are the leaders even? I got a set and had to return them because they weren't centered or numbered evenly.

    Yes mine are centered, they were wrinkled and at first I did not think they were centered but once I pressed them they were fine. There are a few things I think they could inmprove on as far the way they are designed but all in all I think I will really like them.
