Time to learn to use a pantograph! One came with my Avante. I decided to use it on a top for Quilts Beyond Borders. Here is the pantograph:

It isn’t perfect but I am pleased with it. I definitely think this is good practice and will do more of this. There are times when custom quilting just doesn’t make sense. This is a great alternative.

    Looks great and I would think a lot faster than free motion.
