Hi , 

I am so excited about our sale this month I had to let you know about it on November 1st - Quilter's Creative Touch is on sale for 30% off! This is the very best deal on computer quilting all year. 

Click Here to find QCT 6 and start Edge-to-Edge Quilting for just $2099.30.

What Can We Quilt with QCT 6?

When you turn on QCT 6, the new basic level of our computer quilting software, this is the starting screen:

We have one button to push and that is for Edge-to-Edge quilting. Within this program you will:

1. Pick a quilting pattern from over 100 pre-installed designs
2. Decide on the size and spacing of the design
3. Place and stitch the design from edge-to-edge consistently across your quilt.

Are you worried about not having a nice quilting design to match your quilt? I recently quilted autumn themed designs from QCT 6 and found 6 beautiful designs to play with. See how they look in this short video:

I'm working on a new page that will list ALL of the QCT 6 quilting designs in one place so you can scroll through and see them. Look for a link to this in next Wednesday's newsletter!

My favorite part of the basic QCT 6 edge-to-edge quilting system is that it finally makes hoop frame quilting easy! If you're quilting a quilt bigger than your Cutie Frame, shifting the quilt side to side and keeping the design straight is a big challenge when quilting with paper pantographs.

But QCT 6 has a built-in system with alignment points that will adjust the design and help keep your quilting consistent, even with multiple side-to-side advances on a hoop frame!

See all the steps to using the most basic QCT 6 in this video:

What is included with Quilter's Creative Touch 6?

When you purchase QCT 6 you'll receive:

• Quilter's Creative Touch Software
• Motor plate to move your machine
• Drive belts for your frame
• Bracket to support your computer tablet
• Cord management system
• Assembly guide

Here's my assembly video way back when we had QCT 4. The process of adding this system to your frame has changed a bit since I made this video in 2019 and I've edited it down to cover the most important parts:

You'll use the hardware - motor plate, drive belts, and brackets - to upgrade your quilting frame to a computerized quilting system. Then install the software on a Windows based tablet to begin quilting.

Note - the Windows Tablet is not included with QCT. Because a lot of quilters have had trouble to find a compatible tablet, you can now add a tablet to go with your QCT 6 system for $999.95. This is optional - you can also shop around for a tablet to see if you can find a better price.

Here are the computer requirements needed to run QCT 6:

• You will need a Windows based tablet running Windows 7, 8, 10 or higher (QCT will not work with Windows RT) with a full sized USB Port.
• For best results, select a tablet with a 1.66 GHz or faster processor, 64 GB hard drive with at least 2 GB free for installation. 2 GB or more of RAM is recommend as well as a screen resolution of 1024 x 768.

Click Here to find the tablet I'm currently using and recommend for QCT 6 on Amazon.

Is QCT 6 the Right Software Level for You?

With QCT 6, we now have 4 levels of the software, which makes it more affordable and simpler for beginners to learn the basics. Here's a list of what each level of the software can do:

QCT 6 - On Sale this Month $2099.30 - This simplest version of QCT can quilt edge-to-edge pantographs only. It's designed to help you cover your quilt with a single design very quickly stitched from left to right across your quilt.

Choose from over 100 built-in designs, set your safe area, then place the design on your quilt. New alignment guides in QCT 6 make it easier to quilt pantographs on a hoop frame - even when shifting the quilt side to side.

QCT 6 Plus - On Sale this Month $$3499.30 - With this software level you'll be able to design and quilt edge-to-edge pantographs with 2 rows at a time. You'll also have the Select & Sew tool which allows you to select a single design, like a quilt block or triangle design, and place it precisely on your quilt.

Many quilters love to purchase quilting designs, and with QCT 6 Plus, you'll have the ability to import designs, plus access over 300 additional block, triangle, continuous line, and border designs also included in the higher levels of QCT. 

This photo showcases how perfectly you can place feather wreath designs with QCT 6 Plus:

QCT 6 PRO - November only price $4899.30  - This level of the software unlocks your design potential. You can record yourself quilting and turn your movement into a digital quilting pattern. Then you can edit the design in Pattern CAD.

 Click Here to find a QCT 6 PRO tutorial to see how I recorded myself quilting and turned it into a symmetrical, continuous line quilting design. I love how this Feather Christmas Tree design turned out!

The biggest reason to choose the QCT 6 PRO level is because you can then activate a Gold Card:

QCT 6 PRO + Gold Card Access - Gold Cards on Sale $139.96 - The Gold Card access is a subscription to the highest level of the software and lasts 365 days after activation.

Adding a Gold Card to QCT 6 PRO unlocks the highest level of the software and in my opinion, the very most powerful and useful quilting features like multi-pattern placement and Quilting eClipse. 

You can also get the greatest control over multiple row pantograph designs with the advanced pantograph engine. Design your own corners with the Corner Maker tool and get the most accurate placement with the Borders and Corners placement engine. Click Here to find my QCT 6 PRO + Gold Card quilting tutorials.

Start with the Basics, Upgrade when Ready

Of course, you don't have the start at the highest level of the software. You can begin with QCT 6 and then upgrade whenever you need to! Our upgrade packages are also on sale this month so now you can increase your designs and quilting tools if you're wanting to expand your computer quilting abilities.

Yes, QCT Upgrade Kits are also on sale 30% off!

When I switched to longarm quilting on a frame, the machine quilting process felt so much easier, but my quilting precision went out the window. 

I still don't have the same level of control over my quilting stitches because I haven't practiced enough. I know from experience that it takes dozens of quilts to master travel stitching, dozens of quilts to master echoing, and I just haven't had time.

This is what I love about computerized quilting the most - I don't have to wait.

I don't have to practice for hours and hours, quilt after quilt. I can pick a design, place it properly, and let my machine stitch perfectly. I love digitizing designs and the new creative freedom I've gained from computerized quilting.

We are so lucky to be able to use technology so affordably and be able to machine quilt our quilts so easily. If you want to finish your quilts yourself and right now, computerized quilting is the way to go!

Let's go quilt,
