Lining Up the Next Row Using a Pantograph
After sewing the two full rows of the design ( or the single full row ) place your laser light on an identifiable point on the partial row that is closest to the take-up bar. Drop your needle into the down position. This is done before you advance the quilt. Then carefully roll up your quilt ( leaving your needle in the down position ) until your laser light is lined up with the same identifiable point but on the full row that is closest to you. Or in other words, until you get to the same identifiable point on the design in the first row that you sewed. Now you can begin sewing the first row of you design again.
Lining Up the Next Row Using a Design Board
After sewing the one OR two full rows of the design move your machine so that your stylus is directly above one of the holes that is closest to the take-up bar. Drop your stylus in that hole. Then drop your needle into the down position. This is all done before you advance the quilt. Pull up the stylus from the hole so you can move your machine. Then carefully roll up your quilt ( leaving your needle in the down position ) until your stylus is lined up with an identifiable point of the design (that is directly across from the hole) that is closest to you. Or in other words, until you get to an identifiable point across from the hole on the design in the first row that you sewed. Now you can begin sewing the first row of your design again.
