No, Candace. None of the systems are that sophisticated yet that I'm aware of.
With the IQ, you can set up the whole quilt ahead of time, or one row at a time. But when it's time to advance the quilt, you need to do that manually. Then you realign the computer to tell it where you are in relation to the previous row, and it will stitch the next row.
