    Default Long arm quilters..... where is your favorite

    place to buy pantographs? And, what is your most favorite pantograph to use? I am on the look out for some all time favorite pantographs that would look good on any quilt. I am into simplicity and not a real tight pattern. I want something fast but pretty. Also, something that looks good on a man's quilt. Not feminine. So, where do you go to get your quilt patterns?

    I purchase from Willow Leaf Studio and Urban elementz. My all time most popular pantograph is Friskey Feathers. I've nearly worn it out! Best of luck on your quest.

    I have placed one order at urban elementz. I ordered on a Saturday and messed the order up. I placed another order and sent an email asking them to correct the first order (I ordered different patterns on the second order). They were at a show but checked their email during a break and called me. They couldn't fix the first order, so they cancelled it for me and explained what I did wrong. They filled the second order and I received it in just a few days. So not only do they have nice patterns, but great customer service as well. I will definitely be ordering from them again. They have a huge selection of patterns! It takes a long time just to look at all of them!

    Another vote for Urban Elementz. Lots of eye candy on the website, plus they do have catalogs. You can contact them and ask for a catalog, not sure if there's a charge for it or not. I picked mine up in Houston a year or so ago.

    They also have a social media site for longarmers to connect with each other and share tips, it's pretty neat. https://www.connectedthreadz.com

    I like willow leaf studios, they carry a few designers. Sew Thankful is a good source for pantos too. I like Lorien Quilting Designs. She is an Australian designer but several US sources carry her patterns.

    I don't have a favorite go to panto but I know loads of other LAQ do. I do more custom than panto work.

    I don't really like pantographs, but I LOVE Urban Elements tatoos for sewing machines! I picked one up at the Houston show a couple of years ago. I love looking at "Shirley" now - get a giggle every time I LA

    I like Urban Elementz. They carry quite a few designers so there is a lot to choose from. Popcorn is a good man's design. I purchased it from a friend who went the computer route so I'm not sure where you can get it, but try Urban Elementz. They have tons and will send you a catalog if you want.
