Almost every company that sells stencils make stencils like the pantograph. They are usually about 12" square and have the full repeat of the design.
It is my belief that when fmq is discussed it refers to the domestic machine. I have never herd anyone say " how do I FMQ on my long arm as free motion is about the only way to use these machines ( with the exception of computer driven machines)
When I posted the question I certainly did not imply that I disapproved of meandering but rather that there is more than the one design...also loops.
However, I do see meandering and other type overall designs misused. This is not only my opinion. To me simple meandering is not appropriate on a 1930's reproduction quilt as the design was not used then. Neither is a flower pantograph consistent with a quilt that looks like it was made for a man.
