Hi ,

This week we're preparing our Mix n' Match Pantograph rows and learning how to quilt a partial first row. We also have an in-depth free motion quilting video breaking down the versatile and beautiful hallmark design of McTavishing.

How to Create Your Pantograph Design

All of our Mix n' Match Pantographs available here at LeahDay.com come with two sizes of each design - 3 1/2 and 7 1/2.

These pantographs also all digital downloads, so you just need to download the PDF to your computer, open the document, and print multiple copies of either Page 2 or Page 3.

If you're quilting on a home sewing machine, you'll need to use the 3 1/2 inch version of the design. 

This size worked for my home sewing machines that had an 8-inch harp space or larger. Remember, even if you have an 11 inch harp, that doesn't mean you will have 11 inches of vertical quilting space.

Your space is reduced by the rails on the frame AND the quilted quilt as it rolls up in your machine. If you try to quilt a design too big for your machine, you will run out of space before you finish your quilt and end up with a very... creative design.

If you are quilting on a longarm, you can use the 7 1/2 inch pantograph design.

You can also combine multiple rows of the 7 1/2 and 3 1/2 sizes to create a totally unique pantograph for your quilt!

Free Motion Design McTavishing

McTavishing is a beautiful free motion quilting design that creates a texture of flowing water or blowing wind on your quilts. This was the second design I learned how to free motion quilt and I discovered it in Karen McTavish's book Mastering the Art of McTavishing.

McTavishing is a design a lot like Stippling - it can really be quilted anywhere on your quilts. You can expand the distance between your lines of quilting and stitch it over your whole quilt on a large scale.

Check out how it works in this week's Free Motion quilting video below:

That's it for this week, . I'll see you next week with another tutorial and blast from the past Free Motion quilting design!

Let's go quilt,
