More seasonal designs
What's in each download
Each design is one ZIP with everything below, so you don't have to pick a format before you download.
Free printable pantographs (PDF)
A paper pantograph on Letter sheets, 60 inches long, ready to print at home at 100% / actual size, tape together and follow with a laser or stylus
from the back of a hand-guided machine on a frame. Need it longer, on A4, or as one long page for a print shop? Open the design in the designer and set the paper there;
how to print a paper pantograph walks through it.
Free digital pantographs for computerized longarms
Machine files: QLI (Statler, Pro-Stitcher, CompuQuilter, APQS), HQF and TXT (Pro-Stitcher), IQP (IntelliQuilter), DXF (IntelliQuilter, Innova and design software),
PAT (Innova AutoPilot), BQM (Bernina Q-matic), CQP (CompuQuilter), PLT (QBot), QCC (QuiltEZ) and SSD (Side Saddle).
Not sure which one yours reads? See longarm quilting file formats.
An SVG you can open in Inkscape, Illustrator or a cutting machine app.
Each file is one repeat that starts at 0,0 and ends level on the right, like the pantographs you buy from designers,
so your quilting software can size it, repeat it across the row and nest the rows.
Free pantographs for beginners
If this is your first edge-to-edge quilt, a few choices make it much easier:
Start with a simple, forgiving design.Meander, Loops and
Waves are smooth, open lines where a small wobble doesn't show. Zigzag is all straight lines,
which some people find easier to follow with a laser. Baptist fan and clamshell can wait until you're comfortable: their regular arcs make wobbles easier to see.
Go bigger. A larger repeat and taller rows mean fewer passes and less stitching. You can change the size of any classic design for free in the designer.
Practise on a scrap sandwich first. Stitch a row or two on a practice piece with the same batting, and follow the line at a steady, even pace.
Hand-guided: check the 1-inch square on the first printed page before you tape the sheets, so the pantograph is truly full size.
Computerized: load the file, check the size your software shows, and run a test row.
Open the designer to change the repeat width, row height and number of motifs, alternate two designs row by row with Pro (trees and ornaments, apples and pencils),
preview the whole quilt, and download the new files.
The classic designs are free at any size. You can also draw your own line or open an SVG and turn it into longarm files with PantoMaker Pro.
For survivor quilts with a sense of humour and gag gifts, see the
boobies pantograph on the breast cancer awareness page.
Before a customer quilt
As with any new pantograph, load it on your machine, check the size it shows, and stitch a test row on scrap fabric first. If something looks wrong, email support@pantomaker.com with your machine and software version.
