I have a couple of questions about the use of your machine, most specifically, the use of pattern boards on your machine.
A pattern board is a board with the pattern grooved into it. You use a pin to follow the groove around and make the machine quilt that pattern.
SO the first question is: Do you use or would you think you would like to use a pattern board on your large quilting machine?
If you use these boards, how large a pattern board would you use?
An Ansley 26 has 26 inches of room between the needle and the throat of the machine, how much of that is usable after you load the quilt and have a roll of already quilted material on it?
I have a TL18 and know that the real usable space is only about 10 to 13 inches. How does this translate to the 26 inch throat machines?
