Quilting Pantographs with the HQ Simply Sixteen and HQ Little Foot Frame

Marie Eldredge, Handi Quilter Studio Coordinator, demonstrates how to use pantographs with the HQ Simply Sixteen on the HQ Little Foot frame. Includes tips on matching your quilting to the pantograph pattern, advancing and adjusting the fabric. These pantograph techniques are useful for other HQ machines as well.

Thank you! Don’t know if you’ll see since video is 7 yrs old, but I’ve just started with my coronet, and every step I see is vital!

I've really enjoyed this video, you are a great teacher. I bought a small longarm and my husband had them include the Pantographs feature and I'm so glad he did. Until I watched your video I was really hesitant to even begin using it, now I have confidence that I can do it and it will be beautiful. Thank you for your time and clarity in this tutorial.

I'm looking into getting this, how has it work out for you so far?

[@debbiehampton7524]

You really helped me. I am new to this. I haven’t even used it yet! With your help I think I can do this!

I was just thinking about trying a pantograph on my next quilt. I have a hoop frame (Grace) and had questions on lining everything back up when advancing to the next row. This video answered those questions and saved me a bit guess work. Thanks for sharing it! There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of videos specially for the hoop frames. Thank you for thinking of us “hoopsters”.

Very nice job on the demo. Shows quite well how to line up the pantographs and advance. This can be helpful no matter what Handi Quilter machine we have.

[@katiegrazier4091]

Wonderful demonstration. I am looking into purchasing this system so I appreciate you taking the time to make the video.

this is amazing!

THANK YOU, I HAVE LEARNT ALOT

[@lindadaley7469]

Love this tutorial. Very informative. I wish you had shown the finished quilt though.

[@zainylainy1]

I’m pretty sure that you could free motion that quilt in about 1/4 the time it took you to do all that lining up the pattern! That seems time consuming for so simple a pattern. I like the idea of the small frame though!

[@carolynblakeney966]

Very helpful! I have the Grace version of this setup (15" throat machine and the hoop frame) and there are not a whole lot of videos about using pantographs with these compact frames.

Thank you Carolyn.

@@HandiQuilter I have a new Amara on Little Foot frame - trying to "learn" on my own with KZbin - where do I get the pantographs? I know I need to add the parts to allow me to quilt from the back and do pantographs, but where do I eventually order pantographs from? and I also want to install Little Buddy system - had to by what I could while everything was sale priced the month of April '23!

Terrific demo.

I am looking at the frame and see the clips holding the quilts on the rails. What are the black handles on them? Did you make them or purchase them?

[@dawnkenestrick5836]

If you use Quilters Preview clear film you won't have marked up your paper pantographs.

[@kChallo]

how about use laser pen in touching computer screen, instead the long paper(WiFi link sewing machine&computer)?

[@hollyharvey1016]

This was a very informative demo. I know that if I choose to use a pantograph with my Simply Sixteen I would need to purchase rear handles and display, and a laser light. Is there anything else? There appeared to be a tablet mounted to the top of the machine - what was that for?

[@dawnkenestrick5836]

The table on top of the machine is the Prostitcher PC guided system

[@sandycampbell6600]

After quilting to end of quilt and to keep from having to reshift quilt, couldn’t you quilt from where you ended and quilt next row from left to right?

[@susiekaiser1]

How large a quilt can you quilt with this size Handicap Quilter and the 8 ft frame?

[@HandiQuilter]

You can purchase pantographs from a lot of places on line. Just google quilting pantographs.

[@awright5978]

what size pantographs does the simply sixteen can do?

[@qvogata]

where can I purchase the easy grip quilt clamps?

[@eldynodal-suarez1934]

What is the attachment I see on the top that looks like a laptop? Is that a attachment we can purchase? What does it do? But I did love learning how to use our new machine.

[@hqstudioeducators8520]

The attachment on the top of the machine is the Pro-Stitcher screen. It is the computerized system. It is available for the Simply Sixteen. Contact your local retailer to add this to your machine.

[@nankc1]

My Simply 16 is SO MUCH LOUDER than the one on this video!! Why???

[@nancyleedunn]

You advanced your fabric but did I miss how much you advance it? To the end of where you can? I have a Sweet Sixteen and a 12 foot table and have no idea how to use the pantographs. It is confusing, even with tutorials. Yes, I'm a dunce.
