Grace Company Q'Nique 16X Elite Longarm Quilting Machine

Creative Projects You Can Complete

Bring your grandest textile visions to life with the Q'nique 16X Elite. Easily execute intricate free-motion quilting designs, block-by-block custom piecing, ruler work, and full-scale quilting. Whether you are constructing warm, baby-sized quilts, decorative wall hangings, detailed textile art, or massive king-sized heirloom quilts, this powerful system provides the space and control needed for flawless, professional-grade results.

Expansive 16" Throat Space for Unrestricted Quilting

Ditch the physical constraints of domestic sewing machines. The Q'nique 16X Elite provides a generous 16 inches of throat space, giving you the physical room needed to quilt larger block patterns and thick batting layouts with ease. Spend less time adjusting bunched fabric and more time focusing on your artistic layouts.

Brilliant Multi-Zone LED Studio Lighting

Cast away shadows and see every single stitch in high definition. The professional-grade integrated LED lighting system spans across the workspace, illuminating the machine throat, the needle area, and the bobbin area clearly. This superior visibility ensures you can track fine movements and details even during extended stitching sessions.

Ergonomic Handles with Simplified Control Layout

Minimize hand strain and muscle fatigue during marathon quilting sessions. The Q'nique 16X Elite is built with comfort-grip ergonomic handles that are fully adjustable to match your natural resting posture. Combined with a simplified two-button control configuration, you can adjust speeds, start stitching, or raise and lower your needle without taking your eyes off your quilt.

Adjustable Thread Tension and Intelligent Bobbin Estimator

Achieve flawless tension on every weight of thread. The adjustable tension assembly is highly responsive and paired with a redesigned standalone bobbin winder featuring integrated fill sensors. This elite model also features a built-in bobbin estimator, which calculates thread usage to warn you before you run out in the middle of a design.

Intuitive 7" Full-Color Touchscreen Controller

Navigate your settings effortlessly. The generous 7" touch display provides vibrant, clean navigation menus alongside built-in troubleshooting and helpful instructional guides. Easily adjust modes, speeds, or view on-screen settings right on the high-definition color screen.

Four-Mode Stitch Regulation at Speed Up to 2,100 SPM

Deliver perfect stitch consistency with immense power. Operating at speeds up to 2,100 stitches per minute, the Q'nique 16X Elite utilizes dual optical sensors to monitor your workspace movements. Choose between Cruise, Precise, Manual, and Baste modes to achieve balanced, beautiful stitches that align with your unique style.

Patented Safe-Area Edge Warning System

Protect your delicate designs from sudden frame collisions. The integrated patented Edge Warning system allows you to map out your safe boundaries before starting a session. If you approach a portion of the frame that is near the limits of the throat space, the machine warns you instantly—ensuring your fluid creative flow is never disrupted by mechanical limitations.
