Shipping Details

Free Shipping on this machine within the Continental US! Longarm machine orders are shipped within 5-7 business days from Utah.

Please provide a physical street address (no P.O Boxes) as your order will ship via Fedex or UPS.

Machine Maintenance

Longarm machines are high powered, precision instruments that do not like to run dirty or dry. General maintenance like brushing out the machine and oiling it is something you need to do every day.

This isn't something that can wait for a yearly check up. Going into this purchase, you should be ready to take on servicing and maintenance of your longarm yourself.

Repairs and Warranty

If you run into issues with your machine, please contact us and we'll troubleshoot the issue together.

I've worked with many quilters and have made detailed troubleshooting videos covering most beginner issues.

If a part actually breaks on your machine, we will either ship you a replacement part for you to install, or have the machine returned to Grace Company for repairs.

LeahDay.com Guarantee - We cover the return shipping and cost of repairs on all Qnique Longarm machines for up to 3 years.

Little Rebel Sewing Machine repairs are covered for up to 2 years.

Keep your Box! Longarm machines can only be safely shipped within their box and Styrofoam. Please keep your box and packaging or you will have to purchase a new box before shipping your machine back for repairs.

    The Qnique 16X Longarm is a basic machine designed for beginning longarm quilters. With 16 inches of harp space, you will be able to quilt across a 10-inch quilt block in one pass.

    The needle area is illuminated with bright LED lights so you can clearly see your quilt. The handle bars have two buttons each and can be extended and rotated to fit your needs. Reposition the handles closer to the needle and angled inward when quilting on a smaller scale.

    Two spool pins are located on the top of the machine along with a redesigned built-in bobbin winder so you can quickly wind the large M sized bobbins and get back to quilting.

    Why do Some Quilters Pick the Qnique 16X Elite Longarm Instead?

    We have three longarm machines available in the Qnique 16X Series:

    • The Qnique 16X Manual is the most affordable with the most basic features for beginner quilters. It doesn't have a stitch regulator and will require a bit more practice to get the hang of making beautiful stitches.
    • The Qnique 16X has a stitch regulator so you can expect consistent stitches from the very beginning. But it is limited to 1700 stitches per minute. This speed is the limiting factor and you may soon find you can move faster than this machine allows.
    • The Qnqiue 16X Elite has a stitch regulator and a faster motor capable of 2100 stitches per minute, plus a bigger touchscreen monitor and more on-board features.

    Many quilters pick the Qnique 16X Elite longarm instead because it can stitch faster and has more features than the Qnique 16X.
