I have been quilting for three years. It has been hard for me to choose the pantograph at quilting time.
Having used a number of quilts on my bed some are more comfortable in summer and others in winter. Making a study of this factor will help choose the quilting style for the next quilt. Questions I will ask are: how many seams are there? I the answer is many I know it will have weight and be warm on quilting weight fabric so no dense quilting. If the fabric is woven stripes I know the top fabric is light weight and a pantograph with a moderately dense pattern is needed for winter....perhaps a meander for summer weight. I never choose matlesse as the stitching it too tight for my sleep comfort. That thinking comes first then the design can be chosen. Well, after all, you know I am still a beginner. Another factor is I use 100% cotton.
