I made one and just FMQ in a large stipple or meander. They 2nd one I did QAYG. I really prefer the looks. Doubt I will make another full size.

If your longarm can handle all the seams and changing top thickness, an all over panto might be my choice. It depends on the quilt pattern though. I did my Spiderweb scrap quilt with spiderwebs with my regular sewing machine.

I have done several with all over meandering. I had no problem except where it hit all four intersecting seams at the same time and just slowed down and was careful. I did use a panto.

Look for simple edge to edge patterns that do not do any over stitching. If you are computerized stay away from One Song Needle Arts patterns. I love her designs but they do go back and stitch over the same lines frequently. I would not try to go too quickly either. Slow down and take your time.

I just use simple loops or meandering design.

Thanks all ... I would do a meander also but my LA partner wants paisleys so I designed it in Art and Stitch. I think it will need a slow speed also.
