It is done with a pantograph commonly called a panto. They are used with a LA machine. They are a preprinted continuous line designs that lay on the table behind the quilt and you follow the design with a laser light. They come in rolls that are usually about 12 to 14 ft long and vary in height from a few inches for shortarm set ups (a DSM mounted on a rack) to fairly tall so you have to ensure your machine throat can accomodate the pattern. I have a 26" throat machine. Many have really nice registration marks so when you go to your new row of quilting you just line up with the registration marks of your previous row and that ensures nice even spacing. They are super easy to do but can be a bit monotonous and boring.
