I also had a hard time figuring out how to the finish a row of panto, roll the quilt and start the next row. The IQ-Yahoo group helped me with that. On the bright side, when I couldn't get the quilt lined up where it was supposed to go, it took me 2 clicks to go into manual mode so I could "fill" in the gaps in the pattern.
So here's a couple of my efforts. This is a kingsize rail fence in blues. This photo is the flannel back so you can see the quilting. The digitized pattern is called Virginia Flower. I should have scaled it to be bigger since I used double batts. The customer wanted fluffy.
This one was a rush on a shop sample. I used Linda Taylor's digitized Twirly Feather. I love this one because it is big and open, not too dense. I did the Twirly Feather in the field, nothing in the inner border and Sassy (digitized) from Keryn Emmersen in the outer border. I did not have the pattern sized correctly (another mistake) so if you look, you will see how IQ travels (in a straight line) down the side to the next part of the pattern. LQS owner said it was OK with her. Next time I use a panto inside a border, I will have to "Preview" the entire row to see where it ends.
This was a special-order digitized pattern called Menorah and Stars of David from Georgette Dell"Orco at Quilter's Niche.
Another Virginia Flower scaled to 14 inches.
And this is a paper-piece fractured hearts that I did freehand hearts and ribbons on.
The IQ comes with some nice patterns but it is always fun to freehand and to play with new patterns.
