The basics, first

Meet QuiltMotion X.

QuiltMotion X (QMX) is automated quilting software and hardware that mounts to your Grace longarm. You guide it from an app on your tablet: choose a design, place it, and QMX stitches it out with precision, while the belts release in seconds any time you'd rather quilt by hand.

Pick a design Place it in your quilting zone Quilt it
From idea to finished quilt

Pick. Place. Quilt.

Every project, from a first pantograph to a full custom layout, follows the same three simple steps.

  • Pick a design

    Browse the built-in library, buy from the Grace Design Store, or draw your own.
  • Place it in your quilting zone

    A digital view of your real quilting space, so you see exactly where it lands.
  • Quilt it

    Tap start and QMX stitches it out with precision, guiding you the whole way.
FREE-MOTION BY HAND, OR AUTOMATED AT A TAP? YES.

You don't have to choose.

Some days you want to feel every stitch move under your own hands. Other days you want to tap once and watch a flawless pattern come to life. QMX gives you both on the same machine, and quick-release belts let you move between free-motion and automation in seconds, so you never have to give up the craft you love.

Quick-release belts let you switch between free-motion and automation in seconds, no tools, no fuss, even in the middle of a project.
NEW TO AUTOMATION? THIS PART MATTERS MOST.

The results come standard.

Most quilters haven't automated yet, and a list of features can read like a foreign language. So here's the part that counts: with QMX, a beautiful finish isn't a gamble. You see it, you place it, and if something interrupts you, QMX picks up right where you left off.
stitch it just right

See it, place it, stitch it just right

Lay your design into a digital quilting zone that mirrors your real quilting space one-to-one, so you see exactly where it lands before a single needle moves. Then position it right where you want it.
QMX guides you to keep it straight, centered, and even, and stitches it out precisely, so the finished quilt matches your intent.

Pick up where you stopped

Pick up where you stopped

Thread breaks, bobbins run out, life happens. QMX navigates back to the exact break point and resumes from there, so there's no ruined block and no starting over.

Your designs, everywhere you are

Browse, buy, and manage your whole library from anywhere, on any device. Find the perfect pattern and it's ready on your machine: no cables, no transfers, no hunting through folders.

Same hardware. Your choice of experience.

Every tier runs on the same Grace longarm and comes with the automation hardware included. The tier sets how much you unlock, and you can step up anytime with a quick call.

Every feature,
explained right in the app

Each tool comes with a built-in guide, clear and step-by-step, right where you need it. The how-to is on screen the moment a question comes up, so you keep moving without ever leaving your project.

Watch feature how-tos, and the occasional guided project, on our YouTube channel. Drop into the bi-weekly Quilters Playground, a live virtual hangout that's there to help you grow as a quilter, not just with QMX. Trade ideas in our active Facebook communities, or join a low-cost in-person class at Grace. Help that meets you wherever you are.

Quilt on a domestic sewing machine?

There's a QuiltMotion X for domestic machines, too.

QMX FD is our Foundations-level automation experience built for domestic machines. It runs on a different hardware platform than the Grace longarm system on this page, sized and priced for a domestic setup, with the same guided, easy-to-learn app experience.
  • Foundations-level automation for domestic machines
  • Different hardware platform from the longarm tiers above
  • Upgrade incentives when you're ready to step up to a longarm

Questions, answered.

  • All of them: from the compact Little Rebel to the Grace 16X, 16X Elite, 19X Elite, and 21X Elite. The automation hardware is the same across every tier, so whatever machine and tier you choose, upgrading later is software only.
  • Not at all. Every feature has a built-in guide right in the app, so help is on screen from your very first quilt. When you want more, there's a YouTube channel of how-tos, the bi-weekly live Quilters Playground, active Facebook communities, and low-cost in-person classes at Grace.
  • Same hardware, the tiers unlock more software tools. Foundations covers the essentials, Discovery adds block editing and edge-to-edge placement, and Mastery unlocks the full suite. Every tier includes the automation hardware, and you can step up anytime with a quick call: it's a software unlock, no new hardware.
  • Yes. Since every tier shares the same automation hardware, moving up, even jumping two tiers, is just a software unlock. Tier prices include the hardware for a new setup; upgrade pricing is separate, so give Grace or your dealer a call and we'll switch it on. You never re-buy hardware.
  • Pre-orders ship in late October. Reserving now holds your place in line and locks in launch pricing.
  • This page covers QuiltMotion X for Grace longarm machines. For domestic machines we offer QMX FD, which runs on different hardware. Already on QMX FD? You'll qualify for upgrade incentives when you move up to a longarm.
  • Yes, and we'll reward you for it. QMX is every bit as powerful as QCT, in a modern, simpler experience, and unlike QCT, it keeps getting better, with a long road of updates ahead. Our trade-in special gives you credit toward any tier; redeem through Grace or your local dealer.
