Picture pattern - loading images.

A quick video showing how to load images onto iQ for picture pattern.
The pictures you load should be either .jpg or .png
I do not demonstrate the different modes of pattern generation. There are many variables so a take a few minutes to explore all the modes. The release notes for software version 12.10.13 have some very clear illustrations showing the different modes. Further changes can be made by altering other options on that page.

'Distance from needle' button on adjust page

This video shows how to use the distance from needle button when adjusting a pattern. It allows a panto to be sized accurately to fit in the remaining space on a quilt without having to cut the threads and move the machine.
When I am adjusting the dashed right hand edge, ofcourse, I could have simply dragged the dashed line into position but using the keypad is much faster and more accurate.
