Very nice setup! I'm impressed with what you're able to do with such a small throat.

Awwww... your friend looks so happy! And your quilt is lovely. Very interesting setup of the frame too. Don't think I've ever seen a top shelf set up for a pantograph before. It's nice!

THis is a great setup! May I ask what size that pantograph is? I have a 9" throat on my frame and have only done 3.5" or 4" pantographs for the size quilt you have pictured here. With the smaller pantos, there is a very limited selection to get. I would love to get a panto like yours, but would be worried about being able to quilt that size quilt.....

Janice, love your quilt and the quilting pattern you sewed on it. Looks like Gabby will enjoy it when the cool weather comes. :-D

The panto I did on this quilt was 5-1/2", but it was tight by the time I got to the end of the quilt...that big roll in front of the machine pillar really cuts down the work space. I was able to do the whole motif in full size for 99% of the quilt. I have done a 4-1/2" motif on a 90x90 quilt, so I know it can be done. You have to roll it really tight to be able to do it. Don't be worried...even if it gets tight at the very end you can just slightly modify the motif (following "inside the lines") on top and bottom to make it fit. It will be such a subtle difference no one will know but you!
