Hi ,

We're finishing our pantograph quilted quilt with a partial last row! This is the final step - quilting over the bottom edge of the quilt to secure the edge and keep the design continuous.

Partial Last Rows Are Easy if...

In the last tutorial we learned how to quilt across our pantograph and advance the quilt to keep the design evenly spaced over our quilt. You can quilt the bulk of your quilt by stitching across the row, then advancing the quilt to reach the next row.

Quilting the final row is surprisingly easy... IF you took the time at the beginning of the process to baste your quilt during loading.

Having the quilt stitch-basted means that the sides and bottom edges are all secure. So quilting your partial last row is as simple as finding the edge of the quilt, then only stitching as much as you need.

Because the quilt is secure, you don't have to worry about stuff like this happening:

I had my quilt basted, but picked out some stitching to take a pretty photo and wouldn't you know it - my foot caught on that one spot and pulled the edge of the quilt over.

When all the edges of the quilt are locked down with basting stitches, you don't have to worry about your foot catching on the quilt, pulling the quilt over, stitching your quilt top to itself, etc.

If you didn't baste during loading, stop and take the time to do it now. Stitch along the sides and bottom edge of the quilt to lock it in place.

Free Motion Design Pebbling

Another fantastic free motion quilting design to learn how to quilt is Pebbling, also sometimes called Pebbles. This is a beautiful stacking design created by stitching simple circular shapes together to create an eye-catching texture for your quilts.

Learn how to quilt Pebbling in this Ultimate Quilting Tutorial on both a home machine and longarm frame:

Pebbling involves a lot of travel stitching, or stitching back over another line of quilting. This makes the design stand out boldly on the quilt so you can see Pebbling from a distance.

This makes Pebbling a great design to use in wall hangings, art quilts, and show quilts where you want a real punch of texture and impact so the best areas of your quilt will stand out.

Click Here to dive deeper into Pebbling in this week's "Blast From the Past" free motion quilting tutorial. 

That's it for this week, . We are finished with our pantograph quilting series but we'll have another free motion quilting design for you next week, along with a brand new video and quilting tutorial.

Let's go quilt,
