Day 1 (Lunch break 12:00-1:30)
We begin the class with identifying parts of the IQ System with tips on maintenance and repair.
Library Maintenance guides each person in setting up their library by moving designs that will be used in class.
Beginning Panto with Intelliquilter is a fantastic class that will get you more comfortable with your IQ .  9:00 - 12:00 
We begin with the basics including maintaining your IQ. Understanding maintenance allows you fewer interruptions.  We will also cover advancing the quilt, starting after a stop, adjusting the outside edges, realigning and saving your work so you can begin again later. You will create a quilt map and you will know how to put it in action when you return to your machine.
Quotes from attendees:  "I didn't know there was so much to know about pantographs!" "I was doing everything the hard way."

Beginning Custom with Intelliquilter will take you to the next level!  1:30 - 4:30 Learn to set up blocks, sashings and borders. Explore different ways to complete a custom quilt while staying within the beginning skill level. We will tackle a challenge you are sure to encounter... what to do with block of the month quilts and sampler quilts. We will cover stabilizing and how to deal with the fabric shrinkage. Let's use our editing functions to make the quilts look great even if the piecing isn't!

Day 2 AM Class (Lunch Break 12 - 1:30)

Borders and how to deal with fullness, designs that work hard and how to choose the best design for the desired outcome. Line patterns, pantographs and block patterns can be used for borders. How do you choose?

Custom Quilting  with Intelliquilter will allow you to stitch in the ditch to define, choose no sew zones to isolate and clipping blocks to trim an area to perfection.
