Fooling IQ on where to start
Did IQ ever think it finished a row, but truly hasn't due to a thread break or some other reason? This is how you get it to start in the correct location.
Here's help from Patty on how to restart a panto row in the place you want it to start.

Removing IQ Motors for Service
This video by Patty Butcher demonstrates how to remove the IQ motors from the adjusting brackets without altering the adjusting brackets in any way. You will want to do this whenever you are required to remove the motors, for servicing, changing drive wheels, etc. The process is the same no matter the machine make, model or vintage and older style motors.
Adjusting the IQ motor brackets
I had to reload Helen's original post as the video link was broken.
Another great video by Patty Butcher, demonstrating how to adjust
the iQ motors. Pay attention to how much to loosen and then tighten - as
Patty says, only teeny tiny turns. Never, ever loosen them a lot - it
will be so much harder to get the correct adjustment.
NOTE:
Patty is working on an APQS machine. On my Gammill I couldn't use the
carpenter's square as Patty does to check that her motor is straight - I
had to hold a straight edge and compare it to a straight edge on my
track. I've shown that in another post.

Resize and Aspect Ratio
Patty Butcher explains the resize quilt button and aspect ratio in this video.
The one time I've found this useful was when I had stitched and saved a wholecloth quilt that was about 40inches square. I then decided to make a miniature quilt exactly the same, so I simply resized the quilt, with the aspect ratio locked, down to 24inches square. It looked exactly the same on the screen but turning on the grid, or going to true size, showed how the whole quilt had been scaled down. I stitched it out at that size too. At the smaller scale I had to reduce the speeds on iQ to get an accurate stitch out.
Why would you want to do this? If you had made a quilt for a child and wanted to make the same one for their doll, or pet.
It's a fun thing to do.
