If you are not sure at first about putting one of your own designs straight onto your quilt then you might consider making use of quilting pantographs. A quilting pantograph is a design on paper or card that you would buy in order to transfer onto your quilt with a laser pointer or stylus. Then it is simply a matter of following the pattern. You are most likely to use them with longarm quilting machines or mid-arm quilting machines.
The advantage of this for a quilt business is that it offers an "off the shelf" solution to your customers which shows them in a very visual form what you are offering. What's more the range of what is on offer is huge covering a wide range of themes. The beauty of these pantographs is that whilst the design maybe someone else's, you can add your own individuality, or that of the customer, by using a range of textiles and colors. You could, of course, combine different pantographs to provide different results.
Therefore, a quilting pantograph combines the advantages of having an "off the shelf" design to offer to your customers, whilst at the same time gives you the flexibility to create a completely original quilt that your customer can show off to their family and friends.
