IntelliQuilter


We travel for installation and service calls, so we are not able to have standard business hours. All demos, sales, service, and training are by appointment only.
Thank you.



The IntelliQuilter (IQ) is a computer guidance system for longarm and midarm quilting machines. It is an after-market add-on that does not replace any existing parts of the quilting machine. IQ consists of two motors that drive the machine head, and a tablet PC running the IQ software on a Linux platform. There are no additional cables, pulleys, wires, etc on the longarm table. It is, quite simply, the most sophisticated and technologically advanced computer guidance system available for longarm quilters.

  • We travel to your studio or home to install IntelliQuilter on your machine. The installation and basic training usually takes just one to one and a half days.

  • Price includes delivery (inside the continental US), installation, demonstration, training, warranty on parts and installation labor, and support. It does not include our travel expense - that will vary according to how far we have to travel.

  • As a unique service, purchasing an IntelliQuilter from Katydids, also includes one year of continuing support, providing not only technical assistance, but quilting advice, pattern design suggestions, a set of Patty's IQ Training Videos, and more.

  • Installation kits include mechanical parts that are required in order for the IntelliQuilter system to function at optimum performance on a given quilting machine. EdgeRider Wheels are required and sold as part of the installation kit for Gammill, APQS, HQ Sixteen and Innova quilting machines. EdgeRider Wheels can be purchased separately.

  • WARRANTY: The manufacturer warrants the components of the system free of any manufacturing defects, including parts and labor, as long as they are in production, except the tablet computer that carries the manufacturer's one (1) year warranty. In addition, the installer warrants the installed system free of defects caused by the installation procedure for one (1) year. For the duration of the warranty period parts will be exchanged or repaired and installation repairs will be performed at no charge to the customer, including shipping and travel costs. Any and all defects are subject of investigation of the actual case of the malfunction to exclude defects caused by improper handling or use of the system.
