djohns Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Does anyone use designer boards? The ones that are like panto's but are a board and you use a metal stylus to guide you. Do you like them or are regular panto's better? I find that I do not have the best control when I am using panto's, I have only finished 3 quilts on my millie so far. I need your advice.

Sheri Butler Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I too have the Circle Lord. You can use them at the back "OR" the front of the machine!!!!!! New boards being made all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cblevins Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 We have the quiltazoid and can use boards from them and also from R and S designs with the same stylus. Quiltazoid has also developed a way to use both the long boards and the short ones from the front. We love our quiltazoid because we are not very steady on pantos either.

GrandmaLKB Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I have the Econozoid and use their boards as well as the R & S boards. I cannot do pantos and love the deigner boards. Much easier for me. You can work from both the back and the front, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zora Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Denise, You don't say what kind of machine you have. But, be aware that the 2009 Millenium needs to be raised so you can use the design boards at the back of the machine. The machine will not clear the boards if you just place them on the black table. Raising the machine apparently isn't terribly difficult, but you need to understand that you aren't going to be able to just buy boards and away you go. If you have a different machine, or an older machine, they may work just fine for you. Just saying..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have the Quiltazoid and use it from the front, although you can use it from the back. I have their new long arm and can do my boards from the front. Love, love, love it! I also have many Rns boards. They last and work fantastic. http://www.rns-design.com/ Certainly can't go wrong on price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have the QZ and the Topper, boards from Topper, RnS, QZ and have a ball using any of them with the QZ and the Topper. Which I use depends on what I am doing and on What.. a service quilt, a Community Service quilt or a home bed quilt, and of course last but far from least, the Quilts of Valor.. I can't imagine anything but the QZ, but then I've not seen the CL in action. Linda and Adam are terrific to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
