Default You don't need a longarm to do a pantograph

Here is my latest finished quilt top completed. I used Nemesh's Feather Grande from urban elementz; traced it on the backing of the quilt using a light box and Crayola Ultra-Clean fine tipped markers and quilted it from the back with So Fine light lavender thread. Here is the result. If you decide you want to try this, just be aware of the throat size of your machine and how wide the design of the panto is. This design was 13.5" wide and my Tiara has a 16" throat space. Keep in mind that the unfinished or quilted part of the quilt under the machine (especially when you are quilting the "middle" of the quilt), takes up space and your ability to maneuver. Here is April Showers finally quilted. I started piecing it during my retreat the end of April.
