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.

This is the largest and most advanced longarm machine Grace Company offers, but at an affordable price for the space and features included. A 7-inch full-color monitor provides a variety of tools and options at your fingertips, including on-screen help guides and instructions.

Qnique 21X Elite Longarm Machine harp space

Extendable ergonomic handles with quick access buttons allow you to quilt in comfort, while smart features like edge warning and a digital measuring tool take the guesswork out of quilting.

The 21-inch harp space allows you to quilt bigger quilt blocks in one pass. This means you can quilt an entire 17-inch quilt block without having to break your design into smaller sections. This will allow you to plan more intricate quilting designs and finish your quilts even faster, with fewer advances of your quilt through the frame.

With the on-screen bobbin estimator, you never have to guess how much longer your bobbins will last! You can even save multiple bobbin settings to use for different types and sizes of thread. 

Bundle Your 21X Elite Longarm with the Right Frame for Your Space and Budget

The Qnique 21X Elite long arm machine is compatible with the following quilting frames:

  • Evolution Hoop Hybrid Frame - A great choice if you're short on space now, but know you may expand quilting space in the future. This hybrid frame can switch between hoop style quilting and rolling rail quilting.
  • Evolution Elite Frame - The Evolution Elite is the expanded, rolling rail version of the Evolution Hoop Frame. This frame can be set up any size between 7 - 12 feet, making it the most flexible frame Grace Company offers.

High Speed Means Faster Quilting

With a range of 90-2,600 Stitches Per Minute (SPM) and built-in stitch regulation, this is a longarm machine that can keep up with your movement. If you're comfortable longarm quilting, you want to be able to move your machine fast, and the Qnique 21X Elite has the power to keep up with you. There are also four different stitching modes:

  1. Stitch Regulated Cruise - With this mode the needle will always be bouncing, even when you stop moving the longarm. This is very helpful when quilting over bulky seams when you need to move slowly. You can now set the speed of the needle bounce, as well as the size of your stitches on your touchscreen monitor or with your handlebar buttons.
  2. Stitch Regulated Precise - This stitch regulated mode will create perfect stitches to match the speed of your movement and the needle will stop in the up position when you stop moving the machine. This is a great choice for ruler quilting when you need to shift the ruler, but don't want more stitches going into your quilt.
  3. Stitch Regulated Baste - Use the basting function and three sizes to load your quilt on your frame or baste the layers of your quilts to quilt on a different machine.
  4. Manual Mode - This mode turns off the stitch regulator and runs the long arm machine at a steady speed, which you can adjust on the touchscreen or with your handlebar buttons.

    Leah's Favorite Features

    I love my Qnique 21X Elite longarm quilting machine and how fast I can finish my quilts. The stitch regulator and motor has the power to keep up with me, even when I'm driving fast!

    One of my favorite features is the ability to set the stitch length and needle movement speed when quilting in Stitch Regulated Cruise mode. This is a really nice feature my original Qnique 21 long arm machine didn't have.

    I also like the dimmable LED lights and the new bobbin estimator. It has taken me a little while to get used to using this bobbin feature, but now that I've figured out how much thread is on my bobbin, it's very accurate and has saved me from many unexpected thread breaks.

    Click Here to see my very first stitches on the Qnique 21X Elite Long arm quilting machine. I'm still amazed by how beautiful the stitches looked on this machine right from the very beginning.
