    Default Nolting LA using pantographs

    Has anyone used a pantograph from the front of the LongArm?
    I have a port for moving the laser light. But not sure how to advance the quilt

    Most of the time the pantograph is quilted from the back with the pattern on the table. I am not sure how to quilt a pantograph from the front. It can seem convoluted advancing, but its easy once you get going. Thats how I did it before I decided I really suck at hand guided and free motion and bought the robotics.

    There is a Youtube video of someone that rigged a system to quilt a panto from the front of a longarm. I am not sure which brand of longarm she had, but it worked! I have toyed with the idea myself but haven't taken the time to try it.

    Innova offers "Pantovision". It's a computer screen setup on the front of the frame, not the back, and you follow an arrow or dot on the screen.
