Question for long arm quilters about patterns
#12
I normally freehand with a few registration marks using chalk , or draw a spine of vinefeather with the dissappearing ink pen. But when l need several identical designs, l draw it out, line it up where l can use it on quilt on the PANTO SHELF, and use my stylus, quilting as l would a panto...only this time, just the block(s) l want. Then l do sashing fills etc. my usual way doing fmq.

I've had trouble making the chalk and pounce work well. I saw on a Threads video about marking fabric that a mixture of cornstarch and water works well for marking garments. I've also used a design that I very carefully align and quilt from the back of the machine like a pantograph.

I tried Press N Seal when I had my Voyager - I had the worst time removing it. I used a sharpie on the press n Seal for the pattern and then when I pulled it off it showed under the stitches - it took me forever to remove it. Maybe something other than a sharpie would work better!!
