cblevins 260 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 OOOOHHHH I like this idea a lot! I only have 7 pantos right now so it is a good time to start! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donna sco 40 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks so much for posting your idea. Do you have a problem with the tracing sticking to the other side of the protector and coming off? When I appliqued, I used upholstery plastic and always had to keep the tissue paper between the plastic sheets. So I was dreading trying to come up with a way to use that type of plastic to trace my pantos.. Also how much price variation is there in stitching? I am just starting to quilt for the public and would like to be knowledgeable about what to charge. I had already discovered the different in some of the pantos and I know I don't have any real complicated ones. In my area I think $.015 is starting for pantos.

RoseCity Quilter 570 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 thanks guys! I always have liked organizing! Sometimes I don't get the time though... Lisa- I did do my Circle Lord boards too- just forgot to mention it. Sharpie just seems to follow the groove like magic! Libby- Hummm, always have wanted to see PA...

lym95 25 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 That is a very cool idea, now if I only had the time to get organized.....Yes, Cheri, you better get started while you only have 7 as the job seems a bit daunting when you get into double digits..... Thanks Ardelle!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sharon M 28 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 oh, don't know how I missed this... what a great idea Ardelle! Am going to do this too. One question though... how did you get that nice clear computer printout of your panto for your "paper" binder? I just now tried by saving the thumbnail image of a panto off the internet, then inserted it into a Word document, but the image is all distorted from enlarging it. Did you trace that too? ...or what am I missing?! Thanks for the awesome idea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you trace that too? ...or what am I missing?! Thanks for the awesome idea! I had the same problem trying to save them into a Word doc. So, I took all of my paper pantos and went to Office Depot and stood at the copier and copied a nice image of each one. I made a binder with each in a sheet protector. Now whenever I buy new ones, I just run over there and make a copy and add to my binder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Georgene 150 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thank you so much for sharing this. I looked at Office Depot and Office Max this week, but neither had the legal size sheet protectors....even said they didn't make them. Now I need to look for a legal size notebook to store them in. So I just ordered some from Tiger Direct (and they were heavy duty) for $14.99. I actually ordered them through ebay, but they are being sold by Tiger Direct. I look forward to using this neat idea. I think I will trace my Circle Lord long boards too. And maybe even some of the other designs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
