I am a new owner of a longarm, (innova) and I've never attempted to do a panto. Is there a way that any of you have found that is easy to put the panto down on the table to be able to reuse it over and over. I know it should never slip around, but I don't want to tear it up either. What should I do?

Congratulations on your new baby! lol I use blue painters tape to keep mine down, it has been easy to remove if I do it as soon as I have finished the project, and also some clear plastic sheets that I already had in the house as these weigh it down in the middle and make it lie flat. I know there are special panto grids that you can buy but my options work for me at the moment and are also the right price!

Thank you, Yes I did make it for my son it is paper pieced and I quilted it before I had my Avante so I mostly quilted in the ditch with some quilted snowflakes int he white areas.

I have my first frame also and had never tried a pantograph. I went and got clear vinyl and cut in length for my frame (had to glue in middle) but I flattened it with hair dryer and use it over the panto paper so it stays flat and carriage doesn't catch r tear paper
