Bonnie in Ok Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 When you do pantos which direction do you go start on the left to right or start on right side and go left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 From the rear side of the machine you would start at the right and move left. Brenda occasionally will do the first pass that way travel down the edge of the quilt and do the second pass in reverse. She started that after seeing me go both directions with the IQ. I've heard some owners of other brand machines say they can't go the reverse direction without breaking threads but I can't see any difference in stitch quality with either of ours.

Bonnie in Ok Posted July 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Just find going from right to left ( standing on the panto side) is more like writing. But wondered what others found to work for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 It is like driving a car, you want to look ahead and right to left gives the best forward visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Row Studio Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I go both way. if it keep breaking I think the bobbin is a bit tight try loosening it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie0722 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I was taught to go from right to left, so that's what I mostly do. But sometimes I draw my own border designs in EQ7 and print them out, and now that you asked and I started thinking about it, I realized that with those I go whichever way feels better to me. I haven't had any issues with thread breaks so far going in the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colette Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Beatrice, how do you use the EQ printed borders to sew the sides of the quilt? Do you turn the quilt, or have some other method? Bonnie, for pantos, I start at the right, but go both directions and never had a thread break issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
