dbustle Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 My niece asked me to quilt this for her. So far, the only quilting I've done is pantographs. Would a pantograph be okay on this with the hand embroidery - and if so, what would be a good pantograph? Or can you give me ideas for some very simple custom quilting and/or ruler work? Thanks in advance! Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail O Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Really pretty quilt. I think it needs more than a panto (imho). SID the white squares and cross hatch right over the embroidery. Use a very fine thread like Wonderfil Deco-Bob 80wt. SID around the stars and echo that about 1/2 inch in the star. Freehand simple e & l in the sashing, using the colour change to keep the e's consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbustle Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Gail - Thanks for the suggestions! I actually thought about cross hatching the blocks so maybe there's hope for me yet. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connieb Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I like Gails suggestions. Superior threads also makes a thread called Microquilter that would be great for the crosshatching and the SID. I recently used it and really liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilterkp Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I would not use a panto for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbustle Posted September 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I forgot to post a picture of the finished quilt. I ended up using Bottomline thread top and bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gail O Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Awesome job. The cross-hatching really enhances the cross-stitched blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
