These are both used longarm quilting. Panto can also be used for midarm and shortarm machines if they are on a frame.
Pantos are paper patterns that you follow with the laser light attached to the machine. Groovy boards are plastic boards that have grooves in them where you place the end of a stylus that is connected to the machine and you follow the pattern. There can be different ways you lay these, for my machine you lay them on the table part of the frame at the rear end of the machine.
