My friend, Marilyn, and I both wanted to learn to do pantograph patterns on our Handiquilters. Marilyn came over one day and we practiced on my machine. Then I went to her house and helped her with her tension, and we practiced some more. I was complaining that I didn't have a quilt top to practice on. She was so nice and gave me one of the many tops from her shelf of tops needing to be quilted. What a good friend she is. She doesn't know this, but I finished quilting it three nights ago.
I think it turned out great. I'm still not that good at following the line, but it's getting easier and better. Not as good as my free-motion quilting, that's for sure. It doesn't make much sense that I'm better without following a pattern, does it? Hope you like it, Marilyn. No, I'm not doing the binding.

That's pretty. You did a good job for your first panto!
