I tried to do pantos several years ago when I first got my mid arm & frame. I just couldn't do it. I don't think my system was smoothe enough for my laser to follow the line. Just too jerky & bumpy. ( Or it could of been the operator!!
It takes a lot of skill & practice just like any other technique. I love the look of pantos. There are so many beautiful patterns. So I certainly hope you don't feel "less than" because there are a lot of quilters that would love your skill. There are lots of ways to quilt a quilt & all of them are the right way. There are no wrong ways. Have fun!
