What is Quilting Automation?

 

This is a very different style of longarm quilting where a computer program moves the machine. This automation package includes everything you need to upgrade your Q-Zone Hoop Frame or Continuum Frame to run on a computer.

 

Can you still do free hand quilting too? Absolutely! Once you install the track and motor on your frame, you'll still be able to steer the machine and make beautiful designs by yourself too. But with the computerized system in place, you can use the QCT 4 software to pick designs, place them on your quilt, and have the computer stitch for you!

 

Can this work with a home machine? Surprisingly yes. We have a list of home machines you can use with this automation. Click Here to find the list. (The list is about halfway down the page.)

Quilter's Creative Touch 4 available in two packages:

 

Beginnings - This is a simplified version of the software with fewer features so you can easily get started and begin quilting. The sale price for this automation kit is: $2799.96.

 

Standard - This is the full version of the software with a huge number of features, beautiful designs, and the ability to make your own designs too. The sale price for this automation kit is: $4199.96.

 

I’m delighted to say that I’m more than halfway done with my new book, Leah Day’s Goddess Quilts: Journey into Light and Love Through Art Quilting!

 

Click Here to find a sign up form so you’ll be notified when the book is available for preorder. I don’t have a solid date on when this preorder will begin, but I’m aiming for November.

 

I’ve had writing this book on my list of things I “must do” for years. But for some reason I kept putting it off. Now I know why – this book was a lot harder to write than I expected!

 

Now that it's nearly complete I couldn't be more delighted with how it has turned out. We just have editing and photography to go so make sure to sign up so you'll be the first to know when the preorder begins.

I’ve received several questions about how to attach longarm encoders to the wheels of a new longarm.  I decided to shoot a video on how to attach them to both a Grace Qnique 15 and 21 longarm.
