What exactly is a pantograph? Is it made of paper or hard plastic? A pantograph is a simple machine made of four 'sticks'. The four sticks are assembled at the ends so the whole thing is a movable parallelogram. You put a a stylus on one corner, anchor another corner to something solid, and a third corner drives another pencil, marker or in this case, a quilting machine. Place a pattern you want to quilt under the stylus, thread the machine and simply trace the pattern with the stylus. The machine follows along, quilting the pattern on the paper. tim the engineer in san jose |
Absolutely beautiful!!! You did a lovely job with the top and the quilting is absolutely gorgeous!!
Take a bow. |
Close :-)
I have a lazar light to follow the pantograph on a long sheet of papter but I have to use eye/hand coordination, too. It's still easier than piecing a quilt top and a lot faster. I just pretend I'm driving and trying to stay on the road. It's fun! |
