Our favorite pantograph patterns

June 7, 2022

What’s your favorite pantograph pattern? We asked APQS owners across the country and they were excited to answer. In fact, we got so many responses that we had to slim down the responses into several categories and provided links for additional honorable mentions.

APQS’ Quilt Path system is fabulous at stitching out edge-to-edge designs and comes with 750 quilt-ready patterns, many of which are destined to become favorites! It also accepts a wide variety of pattern file types so you can use designs from hundreds of different designers like those mentioned below.

Drum roll please … here are the favorites!
