FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Intelliquilter features must I have?
To complete this workflow, your iQ system must support the ability to define Block Patterns, set No-Sew Zones, utilize Mark on Quilt for accurate mapping, and customize Stitching Sequences and Transitions. These are standard features in most modern iQ systems.
I'm new to iQ. Can I take this course?
We recommend you are comfortable with basic iQ operations (loading digital patterns, setting up a standard pantograph, and general machine movement) before enrolling. This course focuses on building your skills with simple quilting.
Do I need special digital patterns?
No, any standard digital pantograph file compatible with iQ (e.g., .IQP, CQP, DXF) will work. The course focuses on using iQ's powerful tools to adapt and manage your existing pattern library.
What if I get stuck or have questions?
Your purchase of the course includes lifetime access to the course and dedicated Q&A support within the course platform. You can post your questions directly to the instructor and the community. However, if you have only purchased the LIVE class portion, then you must attend LIVE to have any questions answered during that live class.
