I am looking for information on an item called a Pattern Port.
you use it to trace a stencil or pattern. it is a piece of plexi-glass that rests on two of the poles that the fabric is rolled onto.
you use a laser light and just trace. this means there are no lines or powders on the quilt itself. any one with ideas where to purchase such an item. i found one at a store and looked up the name,,,,and hit a brick wall help

good luck..let us all know if you get one how you like it...Donna

It almost looks as if you could make your own.

yes it does! really, it just looks like a protective cover for the paper! i really do not even see why you would need it...if you are using a laser, it would never touch the paper, so the paper wouldn't get damaged...but she was looking for it, so i gave her the link...she can do with it what she wants! donna

Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here.

Hi from Ohio!

I did find a fellow quilter who made her own with a piece of plexi glass and used a curtain rod to place over the 2 roller bars of her machine. that is a lot cheaper than $80.00
thanks for your help.
