    I am new to Longarm quilting and pantographs. This video is wonderful. I have been searching for weeks for this type of explanation on setup. She is a great teacher and doesn’t waste time with “chitchat” and teaches clearly and concisely. I know I will have to watch this several times to get all of her instructions, but that is because there is so much information here. I am no longer intimidated and able to start working with my new “toy”. You have made my retirement goal come true! Thank you so much.

    I have a long arm machine sitting quietly waiting for me to get enough courage to try quilting on it. I have spent the WHOLE SUPERBOWL watching your videos (of course I pause you every once in a while when the hubs is YELLING at the TV) and you have given me a glimmer of hope that maybe I can do this! I live hours away from quilt shops out in rural Utah….You Tube is my best friend. Thank You…I really appreciate your willingness to do these tutorials.

  • @christineroberts6076

    Excellent video. The only thing you forgot to mention is if you have a directional panto, you might have to load it upside down and quilt it upside down to get the orientation the way you want. Example: sailboats or rows of animals, etc. Ask me how I know. I now mark all of my directional pantos with a highlighted note to check the orientation to see if it makes a difference on the top.

    Very helpful video. Thank you! I just finished my first pantograph following your technique and it made it so simple. Just need to work on getting sharp points now....

      All you need to do is hesitate just for a split second ( even say the word 'point' in your head) and those points will be perfect. :)
