- Set your IQ speed to .03/.03 and try to match the speed of your machine to this speed so you have the desired stitch length.
- Try using quilters gloves to help manipulate your fabric as the IQ is stitching.
- Use a very thin (50 - 70wt.) for all SID work. The stitches will not show up as much if you run onto the high part of the seam.

Stitch In The Ditch With IQ
This is a video showing how to do stitch in the ditch with the Intelliquilter. I am no expert and was skeptical about doing SID before. But when I decided to enter a quilt for the MQS computerized category, I realized 100% of the quilt needed to be done using the Intelliquilter. No freehand was allowed so I had force myself to use the line pattern feature to do SID work.
To my surprise, I actually got quite proficient doing this. I urge all of you to at least try to do this. You might be like me and hang up your rulers for good.
