Monday, May 10 2010,  1:00 - 3:00 pm: # 116 Panto FUN with Pre-Design Studio

Customized pantos, special theme E2E’s - Impossible? Difficult? Naaah, you can make them yourself! Instead of

spending hours finding the right pattern, make a photo of the quilt, open as a background in Pre-Design Studio and

create your own panto. Resize and print at actual size. That easy! And that is what you learn in this fun, eye opening

class. Even if you can’t draw, you can create beautiful custom patterns and print your own pantos on any home

printer. It’s a time saver and you can offer your customer a one-of-a-kind pattern for her quilt. Happy - therefore

returning - customers, that’s what it’s all about. We will show you how to turn sketches (made by you in class) into

continuous- line patterns. So back home, you will be able to turn sketches made by your customer into unique patterns.

She’ll be back! This class is for every longarm quilter: you will learn how to create your own printable pantos

and overall patterns, and if you have a computerized system, you will also learn how to export the pattern to your quilt system!
