Wax and Wane is a circle quilting pantograph built from soft, sweeping curves. Each row of circles overlaps the next, forming little crescent shapes, like a moon moving through its phases. It's simple, but it has real charm.
This design carries minimal backtracking. Your longarm moves through the curves with just a touch of back and forth, so the stitch line still flows well. As a digital quilting design, it's easy to load onto most computerized longarm systems.
Wax and Wane works on so many projects. Try it on a modern quilt, a lap quilt, or a cozy throw. The round shapes give a soft, calm feel, perfect for quilts with a celestial or nature-inspired mood.
Download your file and load it up. The circles nest close together, so your quilt gets a full, even look from edge to edge. If you want a circle quilting pantograph with a bit of soft motion and a moon-like glow, Wax and Wane is ready to stitch.
