Quilted & Bound: When to Use Pantographs (And How!)

Описание: Pantographs are repeating quilting designs, usually printed on paper, and followed using a laser light from the back of your quilting frame. These designs are stitched in evenly spaced, repeating rows from edge-to-edge across your quilts.

Where should we use pantographs? Which quilt tops will benefit from this type of design?

Pantographs are best suited for busy quilt tops that have no defined blocks, sashing, borders, or dominant patchwork design. A pantograph can be an asset when quilting scrappy quilt tops like this because you won’t be looking at the fabric —you’ll have your eyes on the paper pattern— and less likely to get lost in the swirling prints.

How do you quilt with pantographs? Let’s learn how in five easy steps!
