Bonnie H Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 There are some Anne Bright pantographs I'm interested in purchasing but am not sure if I should select them in size 10, 12, or 14. Any advice? I'm looking at Froggin, Merrily Heart, Sleepy Sheep, Tiny Turtles, Asian Lilies, Rockets, Soft and Sweet, and Tapestry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I don't remember those particular pantos but do remember looking at her panto book and I ordered about 5 that were in the 12" size as I found the smaller too labor intensive and the 14 seemed to be too big....just my 2c....however the 12" were a great size. It is great that she offers them in so many sizes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitomi Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Some designs the 14 was good and some the 12's were just right. I bought lots of her pantos ay MQX, but as I'm stitching them, some were a bit too tight and I have to be real careful not to cross over. I think it just depends on which designs. I bought 10, 12 and 14's. The book was a great help to decide which size I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Bonnie, Anne Bright was at MQX West and I asked her the same question. It is as Vicki says. It depends on the density you want. At the show she had a large book of samples with all of the pantos shown in their various sizes. It was much easier to see the difference than it is on her website. I don't have any of the ones that you are interested in sorry. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Well Bonnie we must all have been posting at about the same time as you got the same answer three times!! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 would't the size of the machine throat make a diff? What machine, and size machine do you have Bonnie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Rita, you are very right, good point, I didn't think about the throat size. I have a 24 inch throat, which should work okay with even the large 14 inch panto. I will order 12 inches and up, and if it looks like it is a dense pattern, I'll go with the 14 inch. Thank you all for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I have about 12 inches of quilting space, so I like to stick with 10 to 11 inch pantos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabric007 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 the only time I order the smaller ones is if it is for a small quilt..the larger sizes would look overgrown on them..like a baby quilt or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
