Adjust the edges and include a pause marker to allow Intelliquilter to assist you! Never quilt too far off the edges or stop short of the quilt you planned. Adjust is the perfect answer and it so easy.

Using Tweak to adjust a border pattern
A demonstration of how tweak can be used to adjust a border pattern so that it will fit the remaining space. Quilting always draws up the fabric and so as the pattern stitches, the space that's left can be smaller than when the pattern was placed, which can cause a problem because the pattern may end up stitching into a previously stitched area. Stopping the stitching a short distance from the end allows the pattern to be tweaked so that it fits correctly. Tweak stretches or shrinks up a pattern - it doesn't cut anything off.

'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.

Pantograph quilting - sequencing a whole quilt
This is a long video showing the whole process of setting up and stitching a quilt with an edge to edge pattern. (version 01.30.13) In this video the whole quilt is set up, sequenced then stitched, using clip to trim three edges. The sides are basted and realigning is shown for two rows.
The first 14 minutes show how to set up a pantograph.
Note, that when the sides are clipped, the stop marker does not show on the 'adjust' page. That's because 'mark off' is selected in the ribbon of buttons immediately below the image. When the sides are clipped, the transition choice is continuous - that wasn't pointed out. The transition choice should be checked before exiting the 'adjust' page.
NOTE: a change has been made to adjust with the latest software version. In the video I simply tap the button to switch from tweak to clip. To stop the wrong adjust mode being selected by accident, this has been changed. After touching the button at the bottom left, you now have to touch the plus or minus sign button to change from clip to tweak or vice versa.
At the beginning the timers are re-set - they weren't checked at the end of the video but were checked after the filming stopped. The project time was 1 hour 13 minutes, the stitching time was 26 minutes, a little less than iQ indicated on the sew quilt page. The timers were started after loading the quilt - to get a true project time, start them before loading the quilt and stop them after removing the quilt from the frame.
