Barbed Wire is a rustic western pantograph made for quilts with a little edge. Oval loops twist and cross like real ranch wire, complete with barbs stitched right in. It's bold. It's a bit rough around the edges. That's the point.
Use it for Father's Day quilt designs, hunting season quilts, man cave throws, cowboy birthday quilts, or camo panel quilts. It also suits farmhouse quilts and country style projects where a soft feather just wouldn't fit. This western pantograph is your best bet!
No backtracking here, which means a cleaner stitch path and less fuss on your machine. The design repeats cleanly, row after row, so your edge to edge coverage stays even from corner to corner.
As one of our digital quilting designs made for computerized longarm quilters, Barbed Wire western pantograph comes as an instant download, ready to load into your system.
Sometimes a quilt calls for lace. Sometimes it calls for wire. This one's for the second kind.
