I have a 18" nolting and am curious which pantos the "experts" feel are the best to start practicing with for a newbie. :D
I am also looking for a great book/video that would help with the process of learning panto placement. There are so many advertised as "the best" but figure experience speaks louder than advertisement.
Thanks

I like one called Chantilly Lace because it is loopy. You want to get a flow going so stay away from straight line, to start with. This is just my opinion.
Here's Chantilly Lace.

I had the 17" Nolting Fun Quilter for many years and learned thru experience that any panto over 10" is too wide.... if you stay under that size, you'll be fine.
I like Popcorn, Cotton Candy, Wildflower and most any of the Jody Beamish pantos. Hers have a nice flow.
Have fun and remember to 'dance' with the machine!!

Thanks Kathy and Whinnytoo....I can use all the suggestions I can get.
I am only doing my own quilts and projects, never want to do quilt tops for others. But do want to explore and play with my own.
I am busily printing out the suggestions. Any ideas are much appreciated.
