Never Worry About Your Stitch Length Again!

The Q'nique 16X Elite can quilt up to 2,100 Stitches Per Minute (SPM). The built-in stitch regulator has four different stitching modes:

1. Stitch Controlled Cruise - In this setting, the needle continues to move, even when the longarm stops. You can control the speed of the needle bounce and adjust the stitch size.
2. Stitch Regulated Precise - This mode will create perfect stitches to match the speed of your movement. This is a great choice for ruler quilting when you need to shift the ruler to a new area.
3. Stitch Regulated Baste - Use the basting function to load your quilt on your frame. Click Here to find a video on how to use a long arm quilting machine.
4. Manual Mode - You can turn off the stitch regulator using this setting. Control the machine speed using the touchscreen or handlebar buttons.

Special Features Make the 16X Elite the Best Long Arm Quilting Machine!

All X Elite longarms have bright LED lights around the needle. You can also adjust the brightness on your touchscreen monitor.

Speaking of the touchscreen, the simplified menu system is so easy to control! Select your stitch length, set the needle position, and try out our new patented Edge Warning and Bobbin Estimator tools.

You won't have to unthread your Qnique 16X Elite long arm to wind bobbins. The top of the machine has two spool pins and a built-in bobbin winder. Quickly wind the large M sized bobbins and get back to quilting.

How Does the Q'nique 16X Elite Longarm Compare?

The Qnique 16X Elite longarm quilting machine has replaced the Grace Qnique 15 Pro and Grace Qnique 15R longarms. Finding Q'nique 16X Elite reviews is harder because this longarm machine is so new. Quilters purchasing this 16 elite longarm have reported loving the large touchscreen and new quilting features.

Comparing it to our previous beginner longarms - the Q'nique 15 Pro and Q'nique 15R - you'll find:

• Grace 16X Elite has a much larger touchscreen monitor.
• 16-inch longarm gives it 1-inch bigger harp space.
• Faster motor can do 2100 stitches per minute.
• New quilting features like the bobbin estimator save time!

How is the Qnique 16X Elite not the Best Long Arm Quilting Machine?

The limiting factor for any longarm machine is the size. A 16-inch throat sewing machine seems massively huge when placed in a sewing table. When quilting on a Grace quilt frame, however, you can only quilt a 10-inch quilt block in one pass.

If you mostly piece 12-inch quilt blocks, this could feel inconvenient. You'll need to quilt half your quilt block, then advance the quilt to quilt the other half.

The advantage of the Q'nique 16X Elite long arm machine is the affordable price. For less than $6000, you can begin longarm quilting. This no only makes machine quilting feel much easier, it will help you finish your quilting projects faster too.
