When custom quilting, I try to minimise the starts and stops. On a quilt where I need to do manual quilting but want iQ to stitch most of the rest, I set up my stitching sequence so that I can easily switch between computer control and human control. In this video I show how I do that, by choosing stop to cut threads as a transition between the sequenced patterns that iQ will stitch. I can only do this because of iQ's unique drive motors. If I had to undo belts then re-enagage them, it would be more difficult.
While seasoned iQ users know this, I thought this video might help new owners as well as demonstrate the advantage of iQ's drive wheel system to those thinking about buying a computer system for their quilting machines.
How to Use This Blog
Since we have lots and lots of videos here, you will need to know the best way of finding what you are looking for. Each post has the video(s) of the topic it is about. Sometimes there will be more than one video that is a continuation of the previous one. These videos will be posted together within the same post. To find what you are looking for, either use the search box or the list of categories posted in the right column.
The IQ system is constantly evolving, so please keep in mind that some of the older videos may show features that have been replaced by newer ones, or buttons that have changed position or names. However, the videos have not been removed because the methods demonstrated are still valid.
