The Q'nique 16X Elite from the Grace Company is the ideal machine to bridge the gap for people wishing to move from a domestic but aren't ready to commit to a longarm. The 16X Elite Midarm Quilting Machine is loaded with modern amenities, including a large 7" full-color touchscreen display, 16" of throat space, an ergonomic design, adjustable handles, four quick-access buttons, and many others. This straight stitch machine includes an automatic bobbin winder, bobbin estimator, repositionable hopping foot, and a built-in stitch regulator. Stitch up to 2100 stitches per minute or slow it all the way down to 90 stitches per minute when doing detailed work. You will be amazed by the 16X Elites' unparalleled reach, user-friendly technology that saves time, and sophisticated functionality. For a full quilting experience, combine your Q'nique 16X Elite with one of Grace's quilting frames (sold separately).
FULL-COLOR 7" TOUCHSCREEN
On the 16X, you get Grace's biggest screen yet! At a full 7", you will easily be able to navigate through all the features your machine has to offer. You can adjust the brightness of your screen, mute certain alarms, and even find what version of firmware and when it was last updated. This full-color display also includes on-screen help guides and instructions like how to thread the machine.
Extendable Ergonomic handles
The soft, ergonomic handles are designed to follow the contours and curves of your hand, relieving stress in your hands and wrists so you can quilt comfortably. Both handles of the Q'nique 16X Elite can be adjusted by rotating them or extending them. With this level of adjustability, you can quilt for longer without any aches and pains.
4 Quick-Access Buttons
The 16X has simplified the handlebar controls by reducing them to just two buttons on each handle. You can increase the number, size, or speed of the stitching with the up arrow and decrease the number, size, or speed of the stitching with the down arrow. The "play" button will start/stop the machine, and the stitch button can create a single stitch or toggle the needle between the up and down position.
REPOSITIONABLE HOPPING FOOT
The hopping foot on the 16X was designed with optimum visibility in mind. Depending on preference and what you are quilting, you can easily switch the foot to the left, right, or back of the needle. You can also adjust the height of your foot. When quilting with thick fabric or batting layers, the hopping foot may press down on the quilt too tightly and begin to drag. Alternatively, having the hopping foot too high can result in skipped stitches.
16" Throat Space
Stop struggling to quilt those queen and king-size quilts on a domestic machine and instead upgrade to a machine that tackles large projects with ease. With a full 16" of throat space, you can expect to complete large sections of your quilt quicker than before, and best of all, you won't have your fabric getting bunched up under the throat. Quilts with big blocks tend to make a more significant visual impact, which is now easier than ever with Grace's 16X Elite!
Elite Technology
The Q'nique 16X offers innovative smart technology like a needle magnet to guide your needle orientation, a digital measuring tool, on-screen help guides, and a bobbin estimator feature that tells you how much longer your bobbin will last.
BUILT-IN AUTOMATIC BOBBIN WINDER
Unlike other midarm and longarm machines, the 16X Elite has a built-in bobbin winder to wind your large M-Style bobbins quickly. The machine's bobbin cam is set so the bobbin will wind completely before the winder shuts off. Since the bobbin winder works independently of the machine, you can wind your bobbin while you're quilting. For best results when winding a bobbin, Grace recommends 50-weight polyester thread on a cone.
Easy Tension Adjustments
Fully manual stitch settings allow you to have control of your stitches. The setting dial is easily adjusted to create a perfectly balanced stitch based on your fabric type and weight. Ranging from one to four on the knob, these lines allow quilters to dial in their tension settings incrementally. If the bobbin thread appears on the right side of your fabric, then the needle tension is too tight, and if your needle thread is too loose, it will appear on the wrong side of the material.
2100 STITCHES PER MINUTE
The powerful motor in the 16X Elite produces up to 2100 stitches per minute. This powerful motor, combined with the built-in stitch regulator, allows you to create beautiful, consistent stitches. You can also slow the machine down to sew at 90 stitches per minute. This broad range of speed is perfect for the four different stitch modes on the machine: cruise, precise, baste, and manual.
Stitch Modes
Precise - In the default precise mode, you select the stitch length you want, and the machine will adjust to help make more consistent stitches. It only stitches when you move the machin...
