Kathy,

I'm happy to hear you got through your immediate jobs. Very impressive!

As simple as pantographs are to operate, as you probably noticed, there's knack, to developing a "feel" for even pressure, across the entire piece.

It's also very common for newbies to slip out of the brass templates. >.< 

Hope the meeting with the prospective buyer goes well.
