The Grace QuiltMotion X (QMX) is a next-generation automated quilting system that brings precise, computerized stitching to your compatible Grace longarm. Designed to grow with you, QMX uses a single, universal hardware kit paired with three flexible software tiers—Foundations, Discovery, and Mastery. Whether you are quilting your first edge-to-edge pantograph or designing a full-custom masterpiece, QMX guides you through a simple three-step process: Pick, Place, and Quilt.
Controlled entirely via an included tablet app, QuiltMotion X gives you the power of automation while maintaining the freedom of traditional quilting. The quick-release drive system lets you switch back to hand-guided free-motion quilting in seconds, giving you the best of both worlds.
Universal System Features
Every QMX system, regardless of software tier, utilizes the same reliable automation hardware and core capabilities.
Digital Quilting Zone
Outline your quilting space on the screen. It mirrors your physical frame one-to-one, letting you see exactly where the design lands before the needle ever moves.
Quick-Release Belts
Easily switch between automated quilting and hand-guided free-motion in seconds. The belts disengage with no tools required, even in the middle of a project.
Break Point Repair
If your thread breaks or your bobbin runs out, QMX remembers exactly where it stopped. It navigates back to the exact break point to seamlessly resume stitching.
Built-in Guidance
Master automation easily with a built-in step-by-step guide on every screen and tool, ensuring help is always right there when a question comes up.
Position Tracking
Continuous X and Y axis tracking monitors your machine’s exact location on the frame, ensuring automated designs are placed perfectly relative to your fabric.
Wireless Updates
Enjoy hassle-free over-the-air software updates directly through the app, seamlessly connected to your machine’s hardware via Bluetooth Low Energy.
One Platform, Three Software Tiers
Because every QMX system uses the exact same hardware kit, you can choose the software tier that fits your current quilting goals and budget. If you ever outgrow your tier, you can upgrade your software digitally at any time without needing new hardware.
