What is the advantage of three rails? What size rails do I want?
Basting is eliminated by having the backing fabric on a separate rail. Fabrics roll off of two rails and onto one as you quilt in between. We sell rails from 3′ up to 11′. We generally recommend 5′ for crib, 7′ for twin, 8′ for double, 9′ for queen, 10′ for king, 11′ for king to floor. The rails must be long enough for the quilt width, but you can always do smaller projects. A second set of rails conserves space and allows you the freedom to work on different quilts as the mood strikes.
