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The IQ system is constantly evolving, so please keep in mind that some of the older videos may show features that have been replaced by newer ones, or buttons that have changed position or names.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.

Motor movement monitoring or Trace

This feature allows you to see exactly how the motors are moving your machine as it stitches.  It is a great tool to use when you see a poor stitch out. Turn on this feature and watch the trace. If the trace line doesn't match the pattern on the screen, the speed and details probably need reducing. However, if doing so doesn't improve the trace, then the motors themselves should be checked. Look at the sensor wheels first to make sure they are running in the correct position. If they have o ring's, check for cracks.
NOTE: IGNORE THE START OF THIS VIDEO - WE NO LONGER NEED TO TURN ON THE TRACE IN PREFERENCES.
