Good luck if you do go this way.<br />To avoid a section of the quilt when doing E2E you can mark off the area on the film over your panto pattern. I think there is a tutorial for this on Quilt Fabrication blog, or it may be From My Carolina Home blog.<br />Love your enthusiasm, JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801168107278202576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-31890399419447447242020-09-07T00:06:45.594-04:002020-09-07T00:06:45.594-04:00Those clam shells are beautiful! You could always ...Those clam shells are beautiful! You could always embroider the butterfly on organza and then cut it out and applique it to the center of your quilt after you quilted it. It won't pucker that way. If you end up using the fabric to applique, consider using a lightweight two sided adhesive to the background and applying it with a small satin stitch zig zag. You will need some tear away; but, that works too! This was how I appliquéd the tiny butterflies in my "The Secret Place" quilt. Whatever you decide, it will be great!TerryKnott.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797650304123541113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-14630505638739915532020-09-06T15:41:16.625-04:002020-09-06T15:41:16.625-04:00That is one flat quilt - congrats.

Now, the question is how best to accomplish that with a pantograph, but maybe you can come up with a freehand way to do this from the front and accomplish what you need. I have some other pics of quilting like this from a HQ instructor I will send you - might spur some ideas.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621591443896350515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-92227989519797647532020-09-06T15:27:18.682-04:002020-09-06T15:27:18.682-04:00Your quilt turned out so nice and flat!

I have also quilted the Daisies Galore panto by hand. It's a nice, easy one. I like the design you've selected for the red, white, and blue quilt. I had the same mental image of it. I had to laugh because I used the flag print fabric in your quilt in a quilt of my own like 20 years ago and just gave away my remnants of it just last month.Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259126076998854471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-73415961320494691982020-09-06T13:01:16.463-04:002020-09-06T13:01:16.463-04:00Spectacular job on the Clam Shells, Rebecca!

An easy way to avoid the butterfly with the panto is to use painter’s tape on your panto to mark off the area. Just move your machine head to each place you would stop and start and put the tape there on the panto. Easy peasy! I DO love those feathers though!Teresa in Music Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650995129191593324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-8607935740125424312020-09-06T09:51:11.319-04:002020-09-06T09:51:11.319-04:00Very nice baby quilt.

What if you stitch out just the butterfly embroidery on stabilizer (no scroll), cut it out, and applique that onto the already quilted quilt? Your panto quilting would be under the butterfly and wouldn't interfere with it at all.

But if time is a factor, the simpler option the less stressful and the more likely to meet your time deadlines. Good luck!

With the software I was under the impression there was no limit to the resizing and it would change the density automatically in the resizing. You could further tweak the density of the design as you settle on the size. Another thought was make the design small just to select thread colors to test in a stitch out. Once you have the colors right enlarge the design for the final test before the real deal. I may not be considering an issue here so please enlighten me if there are issues with resizing I do know non Bernina designs say only 10% but I thought the software you could do anything.

I've just ordered a Bernina Q16; I can't stand for too long so don't think I could manage a frame and I don't have space in any case.<br /><br />I have some clamshells leftover from a recent project and I love Andrea's clamshell quilt, so I may try something like this on a small scale, say for pillows.<br /><br />I have tried to respond to your email, but my reply bounced back as blocked. <br /><br />Happy quilting.
