I have been learning to use the QuiltCad software
to create pantographs for quilting on my Grace
Frame. I am still a beginner but have managed to
create a few that I'm quite happy with.
A couple of examples are below.

A more advanced continuous line pantograph. The repeat is about 6-1/2" on this
pantograph. You sew a span of 8-1/2" but only advance the quilt about 6-1/2" as the
pattern integrates rows. To make your own pantograph, just print as many pages as
the width you need to quilt and tape them together at the + marks. Print at 100% on
8-1/2" X 11" (letter) paper. There are hundreds of sites and designs that you can
purchase pantographs from but you can also design your own. If you use a marker
on a whiteboard to play and design, you can just trace over something you are
please with. There is a long paper roll available from Golden Threads if you don't
want to tape pages together.

Pantographs are a GUIDE. If you want to add your own swirls, tendrils or
adjust the pattern in any way... that is your creative choice.
I usually mark the first pattern on each end of the roll with lines showing where I
want to start the placement for the next row. I place the needle in the quilt, at
that point then roll up until it is at the correct point on the pantograph. I have
marked the "Page 1 colour" with a highlighter to show where the next row
would be. You will find your own methods of marking and rolling.

Thanks to Edna Stimpson for her tip:
"I draw them onto freezer paper. It doesn't take
much time and you learn the pattern as you draw
it. Also freezer paper stands up to a lot of use."
