How big "Pantographs"?


Recommended Posts

I was using Jodi Beamish's Splash (large)eariler this month and it won't fit. The panto is 13.5, and I had to roll the quilt forward then back to get it finished. I was surprised, because I thought I had 14 inches, but upon measuring there is just 12. Now that I know I will be more carefull when I purchase pantos.

In the mean time, I have Splash Large 13.5 for sale...I can re-sell it if I can't use it, right??

I have both the Millennium & the Liberty so I'm finding out first hand what patterns I can & can't use on the Liberty. A 12" pattern is maximum on a lap size quilt, smaller on a larger size. I would suggest ordering 11" or smaller, or patterns that have 2 rows of 6". Then you can start with quilting 2 rows. As the quilt builds up in the throat, you'll have to advance between every row.

I feel the wonderful maneuverability of this sweet machine more than makes up for the limitations of a smaller throat.

When you place pattern orders with me, I always ask what machine you have and will alert you if the pattern is too large, and may suggest an alternative.

You have just about 13.5" of quilting space with the Liberty. It's a very tight squeeze to try and do a 13" panto, so I'm avoiding them. I do have one that I got from Timeless Quilting Designs and they were generous enough to allow me permission to shrink it just once so I could use it. I haven't done it yet though!
