Barbie Mills, of The Quilting Mill, will teach you her method for creating digital pantographs using PS Designer. In this course you will learn how to create your own pantographs and know they will stitch out exactly how you want them to. We’ll cover what makes a “good” pantograph and how to achieve that.
