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The IQ system is constantly evolving, so please keep in mind that some of the older videos may show features that have been replaced by newer ones, or buttons that have changed position or names.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

Creating a block from a pattern


In this video Sonya shows how to create a pattern and then change it into a block to save for future use.
This is in answer to a question an iQ user had when watching one of Tonya's videos on the iQ Summit of Machine Quilting Academy. There are links to that site on the right. It is a very valuable source for iQ demonstrations and lessons.

Faux Ruler Work on the IQ

This is an excellent video lesson by Sonya Chinn. It explains how Sonya quilted what looked like Ruler work in blocks, with the appearance of the line continuing into surrounding blocks, on the Intelliquilter. Sonya describes every step,and at the end she shows how she uses the snap to needle button to realign a pattern. Sonya also uses the reset handles tool of distort. Custom quilting is never fast but iQ stitches these kinds of straight lines perfectly so it well worth using iQ for custom quilting. While it takes a bit of time to create the patterns, once they are saved you never have to do that again. Thank you Sonya for an excellent demonstration.

Creating Block Shapes and Patterns.

This a long but very good video by Sonya Kemmerer Chinn demonstrating how to create blocks and patterns using the geometric catalog. Sonya creates typical shapes such as pentagons, octagons, and triangles, as well as shapes for apple core and dresden plate quilts. At the end of the video she uses the computer art generated catalog to create star patterns. Sonya shows just how easy it is to create a block then change it to a pattern and vice versa, and how to save both.
