Ok... I am almost done setting up my LA and I put the velcro on the take up rail. The leader cloths came with the sticky velcro and the cloths have the other side of the velcro sewn on them. I have a hand quilting frame so I am familiar with leader cloths but I have a question about this.
If I put the leader cloth so that the printed measurements are facing up where I can see them, when I roll the take-up rail under so that the quilt is going under and over, it is rolling back over where the velcro attaches and it poofs up and doesn't roll up smooth.
If I install the leader facing the back, where I can't see the measurements, then it rolls the way I think it should.
So how should they be attached and rolled?

They're Grace Start Right (I think that's what it's called) and it has ruler lines, pin lines, etc. I guess all I really need to know is center line, don't think I will use all the other stuff.
