Lucky you! I had a frame at one point that I used a mid-arm machine with and could meander/stipple without a problem, but never got the hang of using pantographs. Even took a class with way too many people and didn't learn much as noone was given enough time to work with one....such a waste of money. I'd have given anything to have a setup as you have been able to purchase with a reliable instructor to give one on one time to this dummy. Wish you all the luck in the world as you learn pantographs....enjoy and show us samples when you can.
