    I have a Grace Q’nique 15R Longarm with a SR2 Frame from Grace Co. I do stippling all over quilting, but I am interested in the Qnique Laser stylus and do pantograph quilting I am looking forward to see Leah’s Day teaching videos.

    Hi Leah, great videos on long arm quilting, I am learning a lot. When working from the back of the frame doing pantos I am guessing that it wouldn’t be a good idea to float your quilt top since you are not at the front and able to smooth the quilt top?

      Great question Valerie! No – you definitely want to baste down the sides of the quilt and maybe run some belly bar lines across to get the entire surface stable before starting your panto. I learned the hard way that it’s really easy to flip over the quilt edges and make a mess and not even know it until I look up to advance the quilt. And that can be a LOT of ripping to get to that point!
