Each rail has what is called a leader on it to hold the layers of the quilt on the frame. Each one is equally important in getting a nicely quilted project. The three rails all have their own purpose. The three rails on the frame (Take-up Rail, Backing Rail, and Top Rail) are very important in keeping the quilt straight and smooth during the quilting process. Think of the Sewhead’s needle as a pencil and the quilt layers as the piece of paper. The idea of quilting on a frame and moving the sewhead, not the fabric under the machine head, is more like writing. They also have legs to hold the rails up off the floor so that it is easy to stand or sit on a tall stool to move the Sewhead on a carriage to quilt. A frame is made up of three rails to hold the quilt before and after it is quilted. Most longarm frames are very similar in construction.
