Partial Pantograph Quilting

[countrystitcher]

Has anyone tried this and if so, how do you do it? I have a customer who would like the pantograph pattern in the main part of her quilt, but would like feathers in the borders. It would mean a perfect stop at the seams every single time. I'm I crazy? LOL

Yes, You can do it. Just go a head and do the Compu Quilter and Panogram and then go back and put in the feathers. It should work.

Good luck.. Barb

What if you don't have a Compu Quilter to size the inside of your quilt body.....How would you do this without it. Wouldn't your starts and stops have to be marked with tape or something so you wouldn't go outside the body of the quilt?

When I use a panto for the body only, I place it under my

patterngrid plastic on the table. Then I use a dry-erase

marker to fashion a suitable start and stop.

Could be just a loop to fill up the end or a modified partial of

the end of the panto (copyright permitting, of course). Then

I do my borders separately. I call it Panto Plus.

If it has a border, I just feel like it needs to be treated

separately. And I charge $25 to do the separate borders.

I think that it really frames the quilt.

Thanks Linda...that's how I was doing it as well, but wasn't sure if I was correct. I don't use many pano's so wasn't completely sure if I was doing it right.

Linda, thanks, this is how I thought I would try it, but wasn't sure if someone else had a better solution. I know this chatroom is great for solving problems.

Thank you.
