This way you will not get your clothes or skin hung on that pin point.
A great idea is to turn the last pin on the left so that the point is facing inward. Pin from center out in each direction making sure not to stretch either the leader or the backing. The pins should run parallel to the hemmed edge of the leader. The center of the leader is marked with a heavier black line. Starting in the center, pin the backing to the leader using a sturdy pin. Find the center of the top edge and the bottom edge that will be attached to rail. If the seams are perpendicular to the rail they will become thick when rolled up on rail. If there are seams in the backing, try to make them run parallel to the rail and facing up with the wrong side of fabric. Spread the quilt back over the frame just like you will be quilting it, with the wrong side up and pretty side down. It will also need to be at least 3 to 4 inches larger than the quilt top. Make sure the backing for the quilt is straight and square. How to Load a Frame For a Longarm Quilting Machine The leader on this rail is attached to the bottom of the quilt top. The last, but just as important, rail is called the Top Rail. Don’t forget the backing must go under the Dead Bar on the frame. The quilt backing is attached to this leader first when loading the frame and then is attached to the Take-up Leader. The rail that is right at your waist when standing in front of frame is called the Backing Rail. This rail and leader also hold the layers of the quilt once they have been stitched together. The rail that goes through the neck of the Sewhead is called the Take-up Rail. The BERNINA frame has labeled each rail so it is easy to know which one is for which layer of the quilt. 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.
