What size Pantograph should I use? - Pantograph Quilting

[@arabellalunkes4532]

Thank you! I was having a hard time finding the best size of pantographs for the size of the throat of my long arm. I haven’t done a lot of pantographs, but I really like the ones with the ‘ghost’ tracing on the edges.

[@lauraaustin4795]

you have just convinced me to get the quilt from the back kit for my machine

If have a pattern with a double row, do I quilt both rows before I advance the quilt and when I get to the right side on the front of the quilt,do I quilt the second row from right to left or go from left to right? TYIA

[@LindasElectricQuilters]

If you have enough quilting area available, then you can quilt both rows. We always recommend quilting right to left that way you can see what is ahead:)

[@LindasElectricQuilters]

Yes do both rows before you advance. You would go back to the left and quilt left to right on 2nd row.

I have watched your pantograph videos and I was curious if these procedures apply to all machines or just those with giant throats?the machine that I have at the moment only has a 9” throat on a frame. I was told that I need to mark my quilting space to know my limits. I only saw your videos mark the edges. Please let me know if there is a video that i missed or advise

[@LindasElectricQuilters]

Hi there! With a smaller throat you may need to mark your whole space to ensure that your pattern will fit accordingly:) The larger throat machines have a little bit more flexibility.

[@djackson4659]

@@LindasElectricQuilters Do you have video that shows how to mark your whole space?

[@LindasElectricQuilters]

Unfortunately we do not:(

[@djackson4659]

@@LindasElectricQuilters Thank you

[@joettewarburton5328]

I love to complicate things. On the offset pattern you demonstrated, I think it would be neat to try to use a smaller size of that motif, flip it over and quilt it. Crazy, yes.

[@LindasElectricQuilters]

Now there’s an idea:)
