I'm quilting Anna's Quilt of Valor in
Superior's So Fine #50 in Hot Chillies #412, including in the bobbin for the blue back, and it is quilting out amazing! The borders are getting
McTavished, no surprise there, and the panto comes from UrbanElementz -
Star Dance.
UrbanElementz.com has some amazing pantos - typically, I purchase their 'digital' version 'cause I'm usually in a hurry, it's 1:00 am and I don't have time to wait for a snail mail shipment.

Also, I have the luxury of taking any digital panto, importing it into QuiltCad as a .DXF or .HQF file, saving in QuiltCad's native format .GPF, then using it to design single quilting motifs I can use from the front of 'Miss Betty' w/laser, or my favorite, ANY size of pantograph from the back. I printed this one out as a 10", and while it may take a little time to tape the printer paper together, it's sooo worth it, since I can use these pantos over and over!
Isn't the back panto quilting neat in Red?
