If they are only slightly crooked, this method will work. If they are grossly out of alignment, you will need to adjust the brackets screws, which is shown in another post.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The photos show only the X motor (the one that runs the length of the table) on my Gammill Premier. Check the Y motor in the same way. The photos show an original motor with the white gears, and a supermotor with the clear belt. Your motor may look slightly different but the mounting block will be the same. It is important to place the straight edge against the mounting block and not the motor cover.</p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Take the cover off the motor and place a straight edge against the mounting block that has the two set screws, as shown in the photos.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It's also a good idea to immediately move the newly loaded pattern from the downloads catalog to another catalog.

No sew zones can be created with less over stitching by using stop and tie off as the transition. Splitting the pantograph will give you a built in stop so you can add a no sew zone block inside the body of the quilt. Another option is to utilize the speed of your presentation clicker to stop IQ. This method allows you to back up and add the blocks. It's so much fun and very successful. Try it and see which is your favorite!

In this video I show why choosing 'Trace on Quilt' is so useful because not only can you record the outline of a block whilst moving your machine, you can stitch in the ditch at the same time, and then do additional freehand stitching without having to back out to find manual mode, and then realign when you're done. You can also switch to sampling mode (the same as 'Mark on Quilt') to define additional blocks. 'Trace on Quilt' is a very useful page.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/cMCVM5r_XYI" style="background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cMCVM5r_XYI/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"></iframe>Helen Baczynskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03743039105380979312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659631088315301157.post-24323447350079729042022-11-02T10:51:00.001-04:002022-11-02T10:59:34.489-04:00Intelliquilter - reloading your data on a new tablet<div>Tracey demonstrates how to archive and reload patterns, quilts and blocks. While Tracey is showing what to do when you need to replace your tablet, archiving is something that should be done regularly by everyone, but especially if you design or edit patterns and quilts only on your iQ, and after you have reorganised your libraries. In the event you accidentally delete a quilt, block or pattern, you can easily reload it from your archive. When reloading to your existing tablet, iQ will only add back patterns, quilts and blocks that it sees as missing - it will not double up everything. </div><div><br /></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/0QpVzV4_Kb4" width="480"></iframe>Helen Baczynskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03743039105380979312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659631088315301157.post-30960540410123267872022-11-02T10:43:00.005-04:002022-11-02T10:43:55.144-04:00Getting to know your Intelliquilter components<div>Tracey Browning explains all the parts that make up IntelliQuilter.

There are many ways to accomplish things with Intelliquilter! In this video, I replace stitching that had to be removed. I show how to restitch after reloading the quilt. Next we realign and restart. Restart allows me to start exactly where I needed to. Splitting the pantograph allowed me to change the direction of the stitching. I chose to reverse the direction and I matched up exactly where I tied off the thread from the unsewing. Intelliquilter is wonderful.

If you do not have a clicker, you can, ofcourse, just touch the buttons. Touch 'ok' each time you have placed a pattern, and touch the button labeled 'pattern' when you want to change the pattern. </div><div>I use 'Flip Y' to change the orientation of the continuous curves - I am saying that on the video but I'm a bit quiet.</div><div><br /></div><div>I find the clicker allows me to be more accurate because I am not running the risk of moving my machine slightly when I touch the on screen buttons. However, I used iQ for years quite successfully before getting a clicker so don't feel you have to get one.</div><div><br /></div><div>In this video I stitch in the ditch, stitch the top border and part way down the sides, and stitch continuous curves in the small squares.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/BaaZlh7j-lk" width="480"></iframe></span></p><div><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"></span></p><div>NOTE: A very good question was asked about how I decided to make one repeat of the border equal 4 squares of the inner border. I omitted counting the inner border squares in the video to show how I decided. There were 16 squares so I knew I could make each repeat of the swag border pattern equal to either 2 or 4 squares. 4 was best for this swag.</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. After the first advance.</b></span></div><div>This is part 4 of the project with the third video. I have advanced my quilt and am ready to stitch all the patterns within my reach. I start with the stitch in the ditch, which stabilises the quilt somewhat. I move on to add more line patterns. </div><div><div>In the square, 4 swags create a new motif. This could be re-created using a perfect block on iQ as a guide and then saved to be used as a block pattern in the future. Triangular patterns, or any point to point pattern can be combined in this way to make new patterns for blocks.</div><div>Marking the block helps in sizing the patterns correctly when I first place them. If my quilt is pieced pretty accurately, I will not need to mark any blocks after this. </div><div><br /></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/qX6xAs6tj7c" width="480"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><div>Now, I can hear some of you questioning why I didn't keep the large triangle stitch in the ditch pattern and just convert it to a block for the clipping block. My answer is simply - quilt draw up. Once that stitch in the ditch was sewn, my quilt would have moved ever so slightly - it would have been drawn in. I also stitched several more patterns before getting to the clipping block, which would have also moved my quilt. It was safer to mark-on-quilt the block for the clipping block.</div><div><br /></div><div>You'll also notice that I didn't pay attention to the heights of the patterns that I had carefully written down. I often just look at the patterns on my screen and guess which one is correct, but I need to get into the habit of referring to my notes in order to place the correct pattern. iQ will remember everything so I need to remove the patterns with the incorrect heights to avoid mistakes or confusion. Let's see if I remember to do that in the next episode.</div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. After a second advance.</b></span></div><div><div>Another advance of the quilt. This time I place and stitch several line patterns together. It's a test to see if I get good results or if the quilt has drawn up too much. Practice projects like this are very helpful in building knowledge - mistakes are always good because we learn so much from them. I don't usually correct things on practice quilts. If this had been a customer's quilt, I would have picked out the stitches that weren't exactly where I wanted them to be - you'll see some in the ditch work that didn't hit the ditch. To make practice projects really useful for future reference, you can make notes about what you did and and how you might change the way you did things. </div><div><br /></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/VAOxPyOREMU" width="480"></iframe><div><br /></div><div>I do not finish the pass in this video because I think you should be able to do that now. After completing this pass, I then went on to complete the next section of my quilt, which included the rest of the center medallion. For me that meant another advance, but those of you with larger machines can probably finish this part without advancing, allowing you to stitch the center motif as one complete line pattern..</div><div>Before the next instalment, please stitch everything shown in this screenshot. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUB-a8srECWnC80iVSm16JvNdHfR-gY4qEZyjwsYARJKZZk1_44kkf2FOvBYhAsU4TZ5noD3IC-RMHmnXcTDkdT0sY4S-j_TDoI7wNLCpn5zULnUvyDqXni2AQqhA660kZT19vD3fv7d-/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="286" data-original-width="288" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUB-a8srECWnC80iVSm16JvNdHfR-gY4qEZyjwsYARJKZZk1_44kkf2FOvBYhAsU4TZ5noD3IC-RMHmnXcTDkdT0sY4S-j_TDoI7wNLCpn5zULnUvyDqXni2AQqhA660kZT19vD3fv7d-/" width="242" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>6.

I didn't need to mark any blocks once I had determined the height of each pattern because I knew the piecing was good. If this had been a quilt where I could see that the piecing varied, I would have marked more blocks and changed the height of the patterns as necessary so that they sat correctly in the piecing. </div><div style="text-align: left;">If the borders had varied in width, I would have marked them all and changed the height of each pattern repeat to suit the piecing rather than keep all the patterns the same height, which would draw attention to the piecing, I look at the space between the top of the pattern and the edge of the quilt and try to keep that consistent. Any slight difference in the height of each repeat will not be noticeable.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There is one last thing to do after finishing the project, and that is to move the patterns into their final destination catalogs. If you want to keep them altogether but not at the top of your library list, simply rename the catalog without the spaces before the name. I will move individual patterns into other catalogs - for instance, I have one named Swags so all the swag patterns will go into that catalog so that they'll be easy for me to find next time I want a swag. Others may go into my P2P catalog, or just into the Patterns by Helen catalog. In the end how patterns are organised is a very personal decision.

Arc-2 is an example of that. I have it saved as a horizontal pattern so when I selected it to make lob cont. it came into my block horizontally. In most iQs, arc-2 is at an angle in the catalog so that's how it will be placed in the block. If that happens to you, touch the start point of arc-2 and move it until it snaps to the start/end of lob. Select stretch and select the start point as the anchor.Then touch the end point of arc-2.

I have found that with the change of seasons, and thus temperature and humidity, my elderly machine does this. I had stitched a bit before making this video and thought the machine was warmed up enough, but surprisingly that was not the case. I chose to ignore the bad tension. You might also notice that my machine’s speed changes - that’s because I accidently brushed against the speed dial when I was working on modifying the patterns. I did not check the dial’s position before starting to stitch. The lesson here is to always glance at your speed setting when iQ prompts you to do so before touching that start button on the sew quilt screen. I changed the speed slightly whilst iQ was stitching.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">Now onto the instructions.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">Retrieve your complete quilt map and align it away from your real quilt, just we did last week.

After checking the preferences, as I do in the video, change your effect circle size to 3 inches. Modify your pattern – if you don’t like your modifications, touch undo. Change the size of the circle and try again. Sometimes it can take a few tries to get the result you want – try working with a large effect circle and a smaller effect circle to see which modifies the pattern to your liking. You can undo up to 10 steps so don’t worry if your pattern starts to look really bad. If it gets completely out of shape, you can always delete it then copy the patterns from the quilt map and start again.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">If your shape shifted patterns looks very strange, check that you have smooth on.

Always start with an unmodified pattern for the best results.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">As you watch my machine stitching, this is where you’ll see that terrible tension.

If your patterns need more modification, use distort and/or shape shift. Just play around – if you make horrible mistakes, simply delete the patterns and copy them again.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">Before stitching, I needed to check that my preferences, or local configurations, were set for backstitching because there are some jump stitches built into this pattern.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">I sequenced one pattern then touched sew quilt to get to the page where I can alter those settings.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">I set my back stitching length quite long so you can see the machine doing them.

I’ll show how to do that in an additional video.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">After setting my preferences, I backed out of the sew quilt page so that I could sequence all the block patterns I wanted to sew.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">I choose jump stitch as the transition between the two patterns.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">I moved onto the center block next, marking the block and copying the center pattern.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">This time I used distort. I always go to true size when modifying patterns with distort and use the little reference points of the distort box as guides. This gives me consistent spacing from pattern to pattern. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">After using distort, I panned around and used shape shift to alter one side of the pattern where it came too close to the seam (edge of the block).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">The image on the video is zoomed in at this point so you can clearly see what happens to the pattern.

This is real time but because I am talking, I am going more slowly than I did for the rest of the quilt. I always say the name of the button I am touching so don't worry if you miss seeing me touch a button. </div><div>iQ stitches rays so beautifully and they make a good background fill. My rays are spaced at 10º, but if a denser fill was needed, a rays pattern with smaller spacing could be made. You can find the instructions for creating ray patterns by choosing 'rays' in the right hand side menu here. Scroll down until you find the relevant post. </div>Helen Baczynskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03743039105380979312noreply@blogger.com0
