Love it!!!!
Thank you Julie!
I don't have a long arm, but I still enjoy the tutorials. Love the quilt!!
Wonderful Belynda! Enjoy!
I have started making my top and bottom borders one-half to one inch wider than the side borders to eliminate the stress factor in quilting neatly to the very top and bottom edges, and with dealing with the pins on the leaders. After the quilt is off the frame, I just cut off the extra bit of border to make it the same width as side borders. Works great for me on my mini-arm machine on an old Hinterberg frame.
Betsy Lou, thank you for sharing. Good idea!
Thank you Betsy Lou! That's what I did on my home machine to make quilting easier, but fell out of the habit when I began longarm quilting. I guess wider borders might just come back in style!
Thank you Leah! This really helped me with some of the problems I have had with my pantograph quilting.
Yay! I'm so happy to hear this!
This turned out so pretty. 😄👍 I really like the idea of minky on the back for snuggling. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Denise! The minky is so soft and just perfect for couch cuddling. I don't get so cold now that I started making quilts out of wool and minky!
That looks fantastic! Love the way the minky looks on the back.
Thank you Kelly! I love the way it feels. These quilts are super snuggly!
are you going to post a tutorial on using the pantos on the q zone frame with a sewing machine without a regulator? I know that is a little specific but just bought the q zone with the 4" pantos and want to make sure i do it correctly. Thank you for all you teach Leah!!
LOL! Yes, that is a bit specific! It's on my list, but I'll probably film that once I move my 15-inch longarm to this frame. The main reason being the limit of space in the arm of the machine and it's just TOO tight to quilt the 4-inch pantograph designs that I've created.
Leah your videos on the pantographs has been so helpful!! Love the detail you have given. I have a quilt on my frame now using a panto & I am loving it. Also using minky for a backing & it looks great! Love your quilt. Thanks
That's great! I'm so happy to hear this!
Leah, what is the criteria you use to decide whether to attach the quilt to the bottom leader cloth or just let it hang and use the plastic clamps?
I found it worked better to attach the quilt to the bottom leader cloth when working with pantographs. When I quilt freehand from the front of the machine, I don't have to do it that way because I can keep a closer eye on what is going on with the quilt and if it's shifting or being weird. When quilting from the back, I really needed the extra tension of the leader cloth to be able to trust that the quilt top wasn't shifting and getting pleats and puddles in the middle. So mostly it's down to the type of quilting and where I'm standing - to the front or back of the longarm.
