One longarmer had an interesting solution. She set her regular domestic sewing machine on the table where pantos go.

She simply pulled it to the back table and sewed the extra fabric on, then re-attached the backing to the belly bar with the new strip sewn on.

Well, another longarmer did her one better by telling us he did the same but not with his domestic machine. He sewed the extra strip on WITH THE LONGARM. Some people are just so creative.
