    For those of you that have used pantos, how do you mount yours on the table? Is it under plexi glass, taped, how?

    I got my first panto today in the mail!!! I don't have plexiglass, so I was wondering how someone else put theirs on.

    I don't put anything over mine, I lay it out, line it up and put a weight on both ends then when I see where the end of the quilt comes I cover that end so I know it's time to stop.

    we have a sheet of plastic attached to the table of our A-1's. then you can line up your pantographs. they slip under the plastic sheet.

    My machine came with the plastic that I laid out on the frame for reference only, I lay the panto on top using the lines for squaring then put a weight on the ends. I use a piece that I cut of the plastic with blue tape on the edge to use for marking the pattern where I begin and end quilting.

    A little piece of painters tape works too. Whatever works just go ahead. Joan

    I don't enjoy doing these, but the few that I have done I just simply used blue painter's tape. It removes easily with no residue. I really need to do more and maybe I would learn to love them.

    My Gammill table has a wide plastic sheet that runs end to end on table,
    and I slip the pantograph under it. Never a problem
