It has a maximum stitch rate of 2600 per minute and a minimum stitch rate of 90 per minute. You'll be amazed by the 19X's amazing reach, easy-to-use, time-saving innovations, and knowledgeable features. Combine your Q'nique 19X Elite with one of Grace's quilting frames (separately sold) for a comprehensive quilting experience.
FULL-COLOR 7" TOUCHSCREEN
You may enjoy Grace's largest screen to date on the 19X! You will have no trouble navigating through all of the features on your system because to its full 7" size. You can change the screen's brightness, turn off specific alerts, and even see the firmware version and date of previous update. In addition to providing on-screen instructions and assistance guides, this full-color display also demonstrates how to thread the machine.
Extendable Ergonomic handles
You can quilt in comfort since the ergonomic, soft handles are made to fit the natural curves and contours of your hand, reducing hand and wrist strain. The Q'nique 19X Elite has two adjustable handles that may be turned or extended. This degree of adjustment allows you to quilt pain-free for extended periods of time.
4 Quick-Access Buttons
The handlebar controls on the 19X have been made simpler by being reduced to just two buttons on each handle. The up and down arrows can be used to raise and decrease the quantity, size, and speed of stitches, respectively. The machine may be started and stopped with the "play" button, and it can generate a single stitch or move the needle up or down with the stitch button.
REPOSITIONABLE HOPPING FOOT
The 19X's jumping foot was created with the best visibility possible in mind. You can easily move the foot to the left, right, or back of the needle, depending on your preferences and the item you are quilting. Additionally, you can change how high your foot is. The jumping foot may press down too firmly on the quilt and start to drag when quilting with thick fabric or batting layers. On the other hand, skipping stitches can occur when the hopping foot is raised too high.
19" Throat Space
Invest in a machine that can easily handle large projects instead of a domestic machine that struggles to quilt those queen and king-size quilts. You'll be able to finish larger portions of your quilt more quickly with a full 19" of throat space, and best of all, your fabric won't bunch up beneath the throat. Large block quilts typically have a stronger visual effect, and with Grace's 19X Elite, it's now easier than ever!
Elite Technology
With features like a needle magnet to help with needle orientation, a digital measurement tool, on-screen instructions, and a bobbin estimator function that estimates the length of time your bobbin will last, the Q'nique 19X is a cutting-edge smart technology tool.
BUILT-IN AUTOMATIC BOBBIN WINDER
The 19X Elite has an integrated bobbin winder that allows you to wind your large M-Style bobbins rapidly, in contrast to other long and midarm machines. The bobbin cam of the machine is adjusted so that the bobbin winds all the way around before the winder cuts off. You are able to wind your bobbin while quilting because the bobbin winder operates separately from the machine. Grace suggests using 50-weight polyester thread on a cone for optimal outcomes while winding a bobbin.
Easy Tension Adjustments
You may manipulate your stitches with fully manual stitch settings. Depending on the type and weight of the cloth, the setting dial can be readily adjusted to achieve a precisely balanced stitch. These lines, which range from one to four on the knob, let quilters gradually adjust their tension settings. Your needle tension is too tight if the bobbin thread shows up on the correct side of your fabric; on the other hand, if your needle thread is too loose, it will show up on the wrong side.
2600 STITCHES PER MINUTE
Up to 2600 stitches can be produced per minute by the 19X's strong motor. With the help of this strong motor and the integrated stitch regulator, you can produce beautiful, reliable stitches. The machine can also be set to sew at a slower speed, up to 90 stitches per minute. The machine's four stitch modes—manual, precise, basting, and cruise—are ideal for this wide speed range.
Stitch Modes
Precise - You choose the desired stitch length in the default exact mode, and the machine makes adjustments to assist produce more uniform stitches. It helps with patterns that have sharp edges or corners because it only stitches when you move the machine.
Cruise - For designs that are continuous, curved, or smooth, cruise mode is useful. It functions similarly to exact mode, with the exception that if you stop moving the machine, it will continue to stitch in place (at the slowest possible speed).
Manual - The machine stitches at a set pace when in manual mode. The quilter is responsible for adjusting the machine's length to achieve the appropriate stitch length. This mode works well for continuous, tiny patterns.
Baste - To keep fabric layers together while quilting, use the baste mode to sew loose, interim stitches all the way around the edge of your quilt top.
Edge Warning
By informing you as soon as you go close to a certain boundary, the edge warning alert system ensures you remain inside a "safe area" of your quilt. Not only will this assist shield the machine from the frame's rails, but you may also draw lines around a specific block or area of the quilt. Please be aware that when in basting mode, the Edge Warning is automatically off, so you won't be bothered by the alarm while you're tack-downing your quilt.
Designed to Feel Familiar
Although switching to a longarm machine can be scary, the Q'nique 19X Elite makes it simple! Compared to other longarms, this one is lightweight and highly manoeuvrable because to its two wheels.
ADJUSTABLE LED LIGHTING
Your desk will be lit by incredibly brilliant, color-balanced daylight LEDs, which will lessen eye strain and tiredness. You may adjust the brightness or dimness of these unusual LED lights to suit your needs.
EASY–ACCESS BOBBIN
This machine's bobbin case placement has been thoughtfully engineered for rapid and simple accessibility. This makes changing your bobbin easier than before. Larger M Class bobbins, which can handle more thread than regular bobbins, are used in the Q'nique 19X. As a result, you can quilt for extended lengths of time before changing or replenishing your bobbin.
PRINTED THREADING GUIDES
The 19X has printed threading directions right on the machine body, in contrast to a lot of other longarm quilting machines. To easily thread your quilting machine, just follow the images. Cone-style thread, not spool-fed thread, is used in this machine. Use of spool thread requires installation of the spool accessory, which is not part of the package.
BUILT-IN STITCH REGULATOR & Counter
The Q'nique 19X Elite has a stitch regulator included into it. The high-resolution encoders are used to track the machine's motion. This clever function controls the stitching speed of the motor. When quilting, moving the machine too quickly will lower the stitch regulation's quality. An alert will sound, a red LED light will shine on the needle area, and the "start stitching" button on the display will turn red if the machine is moved too quickly. To turn off the alarm, light, and display alert, slowly move the machine. In the settings menu, you can turn off the alarm as well as the display alert.
Dual Thread Mast
With its dual thread mast, the 19X allows you to quilt and wind bobbins at the same time. This fantastic function helps you save time and effort! It's no longer necessary to put down your quilting to wind a bobbin. Your quilting and bobbin threads will have their own place with the dual-thread mast.
