Q'nique 16X Manual Affordable Longarm Machine

The Q'nique 16X Manual longarm is the most affordable longarm machine Grace Company offers - priced less than $4000! This longarm is designed for beginning quilters needing a very basic longarm machine.

How is the Q'nique 16X Manual Longarm so affordable?

This Manual-Mode longarm does not have a stitch regulator. It's designed to stitch at a constant speed. The illuminated Q above the handlebars displays your speed setting and can be adjusted up or down by pressing the buttons on the handlebars.

This means the Q'nique 16X Manual longarm machine will not change speed to match how fast you're moving. Your stitches will get bigger if you move the machine too fast in relation to the speed you have set.

The Q'nique 16 X Manual is capable of quilting 1700 stitches per minute and the needle area is illuminated with bright LED lights so you can clearly see your quilt.

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

Quilting Beautiful Stitches on the Q'nique 16X Manual

To create pretty stitches on the Q'nique 16X Manual longarm, you'll need to learn how to move the machine at a steady pace to match the speed you've selected. This is very much like learning how to free motion quilt on a home sewing machine.

Practice and patience is the key. The more you quilt simple free motion designs like Stippling, the better you will get moving the machine at a steady rate and matching your movement with the speed you've set the machine.

Over time, you will naturally speed up the movement of your hands as you memorize your favorite free motion quilting designs. To keep your stitches small and beautiful, just dial up the machine's speed and keep on quilting.
