Tech Sunday - Changing Rows in Quilt Path







  1. Angela - Maybe a silly question, but what is a undulating panto? What does undulating mean in this regard?

    Thanks so much-

    1. Penny,

      It is not a silly question at all! If you look at the stock pantos in Quilt Path you will notice that they are all pretty straight. This means that when you quilt them you will probably be able to see the lines of quilting. These types of pantos are often called Border to Border (B2B) Pantos. They are great to use if you are doing the inside of the quilt as a panto, but want to do border treatments. Because you will be getting the top of the panto close to the to top border seam and you don't have to do insets.

      An undulating panto has a soft wave to it. When I use them I typically take the "fit" off and let the pantos fill in the blank parts at the top and the bottom of the quilt. When you look at quilts that are quilting with these pantos, it is harder to tell where you rows start and stop. My goal is to not have the "gutter" between my rows be noticeable. This is easier to accomplish with a panto that has a soft wave then it is with one that is created straight.
