Free, easy tape & print baby pantograph

margaret | January 3, 2010

This is another of the free print and tape pantographs that I offer from time to time. The size on the page is 9″ x 4″ and all you need to do is to print the page and match the ends of the lines, tape them together and you’re ready to stitch.

This one is in response to a request for a simple baby stitching design that even a beginner could work up with no problems.

Free Christmas Ornaments Patterns!

margaret | November 27, 2009

Remember stringing popcorn and making ornaments for the Christmas tree when you were young? Or, helping your children or grandchildren make ornaments? I’ve thought of those times and designed an easy way to make those colorful round balls that hang from the branches and I wanted to share it with you. I have two different designs, but basically the same directions.

You can print the 8 1/2 x 11 page onto card stock and have the children (or you) color them and add glitter or sequins or whatever will make the sparkle. Or, you can work with them with fabric. I’ve given directions on the page for working with fabric or paper. Just hang a ribbon on them and let them dangle from the tree branches.

Think of how proud they will be by making their own ornaments. Save them from year to year to remember the fun you had putting them together.

If you want the ornament files, just visit my pattern website.

Another free continuous line stitching pattern!

Here is another of my continuous line stitching blocks that will fit inside a six-inch block.

This pattern could be used on a longarm machine, sewing machine, or for hand quilting.

This continuous stitching block measures 5.5” x 5.5” just the size to fit into a 6”x 6” block. I have included centering lines to help with positioning.

For size 8.25” x 8.25”, print and enlarge it at 150%, or size 3.5” x 3.5”, print and reduce it at 63%.

Another budget busting free print and tape panto. This cute jumping sheep is called, “counting sheep” or could have been called, “1, 2, 3…”.

Two sheep make one repeat, just print them, match end to end, tape and you’re ready to stitch. (more…)

Free Print and Tape Pantos

margaret | March 7, 2009

With a little paper, scissors, and tape in no time you’ll be using one of these budget- busting pantos.

Each of these repeats is approximately nine inches in width and five inches in height. Just print them on your printer, tape the ends together (where the repeats touch) and continue to tape until you’ve reached the desired length.

If you would like them larger:

At 170% Dizzy Clovers would be 16.5”  x 8.5”. One repeat will fit on a 17” x 11” paper.

At 180% Sprinkles and Southern lights would be 16.25” x 9”. One repeat will fit on a 17” x 11” paper.

If you would like them smaller:

At 60% they would be approximately 6” x 3”. Make two copies this size, cut them and put both of them on one page and print more.
