4.4.3 E2E Alternating Patterns<br />
Quilting the Quilt - Which CS Feature To use<br />
Phase 4 - Backgrounds<br />
Pantographs using Edge_To_Edge<br />
Edge To Edge pantographs look less structured when alternating pattern is used.<br />
Not all patterns look good using the Alternating Pattern option, but CS makes it easy<br />
to audition them. The Alternating option will always have sides that are irregular but<br />
CS will automatically Trim the sides to fit the quilt.<br />
Feature: Edge to Edge - Alternating<br />
Assumptions: The machine is threaded, bobbins wound, belts engaged and<br />
patterns have been added to the project. The Prep Steps here are the same as a<br />
standard E2E.<br />
Prep Step #1.) Measure the quilt length and width accurately before loading the quilt.<br />
If you are leaving a margin at the top and bottom, be sure to reduce your total quilt<br />
length by this amount. Also it is a good idea to reduce the length a little to<br />
accommodate shrinkage caused by the quilting. This could be from 1% to 5%,<br />
depending on the fabrics, batting and quilting density.<br />
Prep Step #2) Load the quilt and baste the outer edges.<br />
Prep Step #3) Choose a pattern and think about the scale. Large scale, open quilting<br />
results in a more supple quilt and small scale, dense quilting is a bit stiffer.<br />
Prep Step #4) Change the pattern details (height and width) to reflect the scale you<br />
prefer.<br />
Steps to follow:<br />
1. Click the E2E icon.<br />
CS prompts you to click the four corners of the first boundary. Make this as large<br />
as possible to minimize the number of times the quilt must be rolled. Press Stop<br />
when done.<br />
2. Change settings.<br />
