Wonderful videos and instructions. I had a short arm machine which I loved and only did pantographs. I found that I could be more comfortable and precise if I sat in a free rolling office chair. Also for safety see if you can find a way to keep the cord out of the footpath. Look forward to watching more of your videos.

I’ve started floating, but what about if you have a long quilt? Just kick it under the quilter, with the batting? That’s what I’ve done, so far it’s ok. Still quilting it. I don’t have the quilt top roller, anymore. I use it for the leveler.

I have red snappers and I hate them. It took me longer to get those things in place and it wasn’t straight, than if I pinned the whole quilt. Just on the pick up roller. I have arthritis in my right hand, so I just don’t have the strength to put those clamps on. What are you using?

Loading the quilt lengthwise (for fewer advances) is such a simple idea but one that hadn't occurred to me - thank you! Now that I have my own longarm, I look forward to having time to hone my skills (as compared to renting time on the machine at my local quilt shop).

I have never done a panto so have been watching your video. The one thing I dont find a good explantion for is after you set up the left markers then you move the machine to the right hand side and move the machine lower down but you havent explained how you know where to put the needle down???

Very helpful, clear instructions, but I’m wondering what keeps the middle of the floating top and batting from drawing up towards the take up bar if they’re not basted or secured somehow. Maybe it’s not a problem? I just listened to your interview with Susan Smith. She uses magnets, but my frame set up is more like yours. Magnets don’t work through the layers on the backing bar.

I love your videos, this one made me excited about finally trying pantographs. I bought my longarm machine two years ago. You are so easy to follow clear explanations and hands on. At first I was very intimidated with the handles in the back and following a pattern. The owner of my local quilt store offered to let me try on the store demo machine. I am hooked , thank you for giving me the confidence .

This may be a silly question, but how would you do this if you wanted to start stitching beginning with the first row and not stitch the ghost row? I have a practice quilt already on my machine. Also, I’m guessing you start quilting at a repeating pattern and not the first design on the edge of the pantograph?
@whirlsnswirlsquilting43622 ай бұрын
With pantographs, you are meant to have partial rows top and bottom and partials down the sides. E2E is just that. A design that falls off all 4 sides. If you leave out the ghost row, because they undulate, you will be missing parts of the design meant to nest and will have bare spots.

@@whirlsnswirlsquilting4362 okay Thanks! . I tried this, but my pantograph and plexiglass would not lay straight because it kept hitting the channel lock. My pantograph does not have any lines on it, so I guess I could draw one using the channel locks. Thanks again

@ritabindl97393 ай бұрын
Very good video. I do have 1 question that wasn't addressed. Do you make sure when placing the panto, that design is started & stopped on each side at same place as well as top & bottom, so that the design starts & stops on each side in same place as well?
@whirlsnswirlsquilting43623 ай бұрын
With some panto designs, I do 'centre' them so that the design doesn't cut off a lot of a large motif and leave only a tiny bit but if the panto is a simple design with not a lot of different elements (or the borders are a busy fabric for example) I don't worry about it. On quilts with solid or tone on tone fabrics for the borders, I do like to move the paper side to side so it looks 'even'. For top to bottom, it is what it is. Pantos are meant to fall off all 4 sides and unless the design happens to have the perfect dimensions to 'fit' the quilt top, it won't be the same top and bottom. That has never bothered me. Hope that helps! :)

I was taught to look ahead a little bit from the laser light.Just as you would be driving a car. You can still see the light but, you,re looking to where to move it to. When driving a car, you don't look down the hood of it to drive, you look ahead.
