Quilt Motion X Longarm Software Details
Bring your quilting ideas to life with the Grace Company QuiltMotion X (QMX) Quilting Software for Longarm Machines! This innovative computerized quilting system combines advanced automation with an easy-to-use tablet app, allowing you to create beautiful, precise quilting designs with less effort. Its intuitive Pick, Place, Quilt workflow lets you choose a pattern, position it within a digital representation of your quilting area, and watch as QuiltMotion X automatically stitches your design. Whether you're working on edge-to-edge patterns, individual quilt blocks, or custom layouts, QMX helps you achieve consistent, professional-looking results.
Designed to give you the best of both automated and free-motion quilting, QuiltMotion X features quick-release belts that allow you to switch between computerized stitching and hand-guided quilting in seconds. Helpful features like accurate design placement, built-in tutorials, and stitch recovery make the quilting process smoother from start to finish. If your thread breaks or your bobbin runs out, the system can return to the interruption point so you can continue stitching without starting over. You can also browse, purchase, and manage quilting patterns through the Grace Design Store, keeping your favorite designs easily accessible.
Available in three software tiers—Foundations, Discovery, and Mastery—QuiltMotion X offers flexible options for quilters of different experience levels. Start with essential automated quilting tools or explore more advanced pattern editing, placement, and customization features as your skills grow. Each tier uses the same automation hardware, allowing you to upgrade your software capabilities without replacing the system. Compatible with Grace Company longarm machines, QuiltMotion X brings modern technology, creative flexibility, and convenient automation together for a more enjoyable quilting experience.

Compatible with Grace Longarms
The Grace Company QuiltMotion X (QMX) Software is compatible with Grace's current lineup of longarm quilting machines, from the compact Little Rebel to the Grace 16X, 16X Elite, 19X Elite, and 21X Elite. It also works with a variety of Grace quilting frames, including the Cutie Breeze, Q-Zone Hoop, Q-Zone Queen, Evolution Hoop, and Evolution Elite. Best of all, the automation hardware remains the same across all three software tiers—Foundations, Discovery, and Mastery. This allows you to choose the setup that best fits your needs and unlock additional features through software-only upgrades without replacing your automation hardware.
AUTOMATED QUILTING
Included with the software is a motor plate that attaches to the machine carriage and accurately controls the sewing machine's motion for precise pattern stitching. This motor plate is what allows you to automate your stitches. You can sew your quilt with little more than the touch of a button when using this feature; all you have to do is reposition your quilt
FREE-MOTION BY HAND OR AUTOMATED
Enjoy the freedom to switch between free-motion quilting and computerized automation with QuiltMotion X! Thanks to its convenient quick-release belts, you can transition between hand-guided quilting and automated stitching in seconds, without tools or complicated adjustments. Whether you want complete hands-on control or the precision of automated designs, QMX makes it easy to enjoy both quilting styles on the same machine, even in the middle of a project.
Built-in Designs
Explore endless creative possibilities with QuiltMotion X for Longarms and its selection of built-in quilting designs, with the number of included patterns varying by software tier. Whether you're stitching edge-to-edge patterns, decorative borders, or individual quilt blocks, you'll have a variety of designs to get started. Expand your collection by purchasing additional patterns from the Grace Design Store, or choose a monthly subscription for ongoing design credits. For even more personalization, the optional Picture Stitcher tool lets you transform your favorite photos into unique, stitchable quilting designs. With the freedom to add new patterns whenever inspiration strikes, QuiltMotion X makes it easy to bring fresh creativity to every quilting project.
Friendly Interface
QuiltMotion X for Longarms makes computerized quilting easier than ever with its intuitive three-step process: Pick, Place, Quilt. Start by selecting a pattern from your built-in design library, purchasing additional designs from the Grace Design Store, or creating your own. Next, position your design using a digital view of your actual quilting area, allowing you to see exactly where your stitches will go. Once everything is in place, simply start the automation and let QMX precisely stitch your selected pattern. Whether you're quilting your first pantograph or creating an intricate custom layout, this streamlined process makes it easy to achieve beautiful, consistent results with confidence.
Pick Up Where You Stopped
Unexpected interruptions don't have to derail your quilting project! Whether your thread breaks, your bobbin runs out, or you need to pause stitching, QuiltMotion X makes it easy to pick up right where you left off. The software guides your machine back to the exact stopping point, allowing you to resume quilting without restarting your design or losing your progress. This convenient stitch recovery feature saves time, reduces frustration, and keeps your projects moving smoothly.
See It, Place It, Stitch It
Take the guesswork out of design placement with QuiltMotion X's digital quilting zone, which mirrors your actual quilting space for accurate, one-to-one positioning. Preview exactly where your selected pattern will stitch before the needle ever moves, then easily adjust its placement to fit your project. QMX helps keep your designs straight, centered, and evenly spaced, ensuring precise stitching and beautifully aligned results that bring your quilting vision to life.
Help At Every Step
Get the guidance you need without interrupting your creative flow with QuiltMotion X's built-in help guides. Each software feature includes easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions right within the app, making it simple to learn new tools and explore different quilting techniques. Whether you're navigating a feature for the first time or need a quick refresher, helpful explanations are always just a tap away. With convenient on-screen assistance, you can spend less time searching for answers and more time enjoying your quilting projects.
