- Simple video showing how I load and quilt a quilt on my qnique 15 long arm from the grace co. with automation. Hope you enjoy the video and if you have any question please don't hesitate to ask in the comment below. Have a great day.
That was so helpful!!! You are a great teacher and I am so thankful for your help. This really made it not so intimidating. Thank you!!!!🙏🤗
You are such a good teacher. I wish you were my neighbor!
Tabitha thank you so… much. You are the only one that says basic instructions and actually shows steps on the basic software.
I was beginning to think buying this was a mistake, as others gave way to much information all at once.
Thank you, because of your video I was able to purchase the Q'nique 15 pro. I needed a new quilting machine and I have the Gracie queen size quilt frame. I thought I would need to purchase the entire set up. But your video showed the 15 pro on the Gracie frame (my same frame) using the automation. This let me know that I could use my current frame (which I love), just update my machine and later addd the QC5. So, thank you so much for sharing, you saved me a lot of time, frustration and money. My only regret is thinking that I should have gone up to the 19 Q'nique, but I did not know if it would fit on the frame. Please keep sharing. I think you are the only (you are unique) person I have seen that is using the Qracie (wooden) queen quilt frame (and I have searched for them endlessly) to quilt on. So, I am watching and learning. One last thing.., are you planning to set up your Amazon affiliate links so, that we, your adoring public can purchase much needed items, such as the tape measure you mentioned below. This will help you and us (searching Amazon is a pain). Thank you..., L. :)
I know this was a year ago but same here. I bartered for the Gracie Queen last summer and have not been able to find a machine to work on it so just today I spring for the Qunique 21 elite because it comes with a new frame; man am I upset now. I love the wooden frame, I just couldn’t find anything about it. I’ve spent so much money and still won’t have automation which I really want. Bummer I didn’t see this and I’m always always looking. 😒
This video has helped me stitch my first rows on my Qnique21 with QCT 6 Plus! Thank you❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing this! I’m thinking about getting the program for my pro machine and you have answered so many questions! Thank you!!
I love your video it is so helpful. I have the same program on my machine but have not used it because I was intimidated but I will now.
Thank you so much.
I'm so glad I could inspire you to try. I'm here if you have any questions.
@@sewsomethingsouthern thank you, I will keep watching
Most simple explanation I’ve seen. Loved it.
Thank you
Thank you for your great video. I just purchased the Qnique 21 and you have made me excited to get started with using the machine. I was going to wait on Automation but I dont think I can now. I am hoping the Q21 fits on my Grace Phoenix frame to avoid buying a new frame. If that works out - automation here I come. I look forward to your videos.
Update note- the Qnique 21 not the Pro did fit on my Grace Phoenix frame. Works perfect
You have amazing gadgets and talents ! Love the new hair. You should see my supplies - everywhere the eyes can see.
Thank you for doing this! I just bought a machine from grace company. It’s still in the box.
So helpful as I am just beginning
It looks amazing
Thank you so much, you have cleared the mud for me 😁
Your welcome. If you have any questions I'm here.
Awesome! Thank you so much for the video!
Thank you
Amazing job thank 🙏👯♀️
This is fantastic. Thank you.
Thank goodness you did this video..I was so lost. The tutorials are clear as mud without basic know how.
Do you have a video about how to start again if you have to quit? I seem to be having issues with this.
Very helpful! Thanks so much!
The little rule I used is from Missouri quilt co. It's the 2.5x8 size
I really really appreciate the way the way you teach. I really need this. I have QCT5 Beginnings too, but I am a visual learner. I don't have anyone in my area to bounce questions off.
Would you do a video tutorial on how to do a pattern in 2 rows and staggered?
Sooo you’re not sure how wide your longarm is even though the measuring tape is right there telling you? Hmmm. Lol. Thank you for the video. it helps a lot.
I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you. I’d like to know how you attach the tape measure to the frame. Thanks.
Thank you!. I just stretched it across and wrapped it around a couple of time to the frame and taped it down really good. I wanted it to be removable.
@@sewsomethingsouthern Thanks so much. I appreciate your prompt response. I hope you have an amazing day!
this was awesome thank you were did you get the feather pattern from
Great video. I am ready to buy a Q’nique quilting machine and will use the cutie frame due to lack of space. Would you tell me what your actual quilting area is. I was told you lose at least 4” of quilting area. Until I can afford the QCT 5 I will be learning ruler work and pantographs. Thank you again fora video that shows how to use QCT 5 beginnings.
How often do you change your needles?
How many stitches do you like to use for the patterns?
Just found your video and it was great! I have just purchased the QCT5 Beginnings and there are not many videos on Beginnings. Could you please do a video on the last row of a quilt when you have to use a partial pattern/design? I haven't figured that one out and I keep getting the warning that I am out of my Safe Area. Thanks again!!
I would love to make a video for you. But I will say that it will tell you that you are out of safe area and turn pink. It will work. Just nest and as usual, bring the machine down to the bottom of the quilt, and click on the diamond under the line.
@@sewsomethingsouthern Thank you for the information. That really helped.
Just watched your video and I was impressed with how well you went over the use of the qct5. I have the qvt5 pro and the grace 21pro on the grace table. The ruler that runs the length of your table will that work with the grace table and if so how can I get one. Thank you for your very helpful information and have a great day.
Thank you.. I happy my video helped you.. The tape measure I found on Amazon. It works great when advancing the quilt to keep it straight and centered.
Great video thank you so much for sharing. I have a cutie frame with a unique 19 machine QCT5 beginners I have watched several videos on sewing and zones I am thinking yours will be able to help me move forward other videos very confusing to me. Question the feather pattern that you used where did you purchase it for the QCT5 Beginners I love it it’s beautiful thanks again enjoyed your video
Thanks you Ms Debra. I'm so glad I can help. I purchased the pattern several years ago so I'm not absolutely certain where I got it from. If I had to guess it would be urban elements.

How did you know that to nest it was 1/4”? Where does the screen show that?
The screen does not show you that. You will have to look at the blue squares in the background. They are 1 inch square. And use your best judgment. Just be constant through the whole quilt. I do now that from your needle to the outside of the hooping foot is 1/4 of an inch. Also I have quilted this pattern alot and take notes on each pattern.
Do you ever have problems with your tension? I have a new Qnique 21 Pro and my bobbin winder broke already. Do you use a separate bobbin winder?
Great explanation! How Long of a time did it take to get from the left all the way to the right in one row? How long did it take to get that whole quilt done in this video. Thank you for your time!
Thank you! It usually take around 20 mins or so per row. But there are so many variables that can change that. Like spi and the speed that you have the machine set on. I have mine 10 spi and med speed. The total time for this quilt was 6 hours.
I put a command hook on my machine for my snips
Hello. What are the specs on the tablet you are using, please?
One more question. What speed do you like to use on your designs?
What is the beautiful computerized quilting pattern you are using and where did you get it?
It's called fast feathers...here a link

What tablet do you use
How do you figure out the size from top to bottom? I would be afraid of getting to the bottom and having a half of the row size you were doing.
With qct5 beginnings you don't have to figure the length. There is a button to click on if it is a piece of a row at the bottom. It will not change the look of the quilting to have a piece of a row. It will all look Continus if you nest your rows.
Is this brand machine fussy about the type and /or brand of thread used.?
Ive used 3 different brand names with this machine with absolutely no problems at all. The key is to stay with the same weight thread.
Where did you get the big clamps for the poles?
I bought my quilt clips from the Gracie company
Such a great video, very thorough. Two questions? What tablet do you recommend and what is your tension usually set on? I have been having a hard time with the perfect tension the last few times I have used my machine.
I have fusion 5 tablet.
I have to adjust my tension almost daily. Because I use different name brand threads. Thanks
Hello. What are the specs on the tablet you are using, please?
What kind of frame did you say you had? Will an iPad work the same way your tablet does?
I have a gracie queen but I think I'm fixing to upgrade to king. I'm not sure if a iPad would work or not. I think it would be I'm not sure.
How long does it take to Quilt? The quilt you’re working on right now how long did that take in hours?
For a quilt size quilt it takes me around 5 hours
Hi!!! I’m wanting to learn more about the long arm! I’m in SC. Where are you located?
Hey, I'm in south east GA. But I'm always available through messager with any questions or concerns you have.
What size needle are you using? 16 or 18?
I'm using a size 18 needle
What brand ruler did you use ?
That looked like a Missouri Star Quilt ruler. Their’s are yellow.
Hello it’s me again I was so excited about coming in to my machine and step-by-step with your video set up my safe zone my measurements pick a pattern and get busy sewing yeah right lol so I have everything set up push to sew it goes over to the start point start sewing but each time it’s moving upward out of the safe zone hitting my back bar I went in I deleted all my saved patterns everything ready again it still wants to start sewing and gradually moving up towards the back bar I called Grace company of course they’re on their trip to California so I probably won’t hear anyone until the 24th if you have any idea what is going on I’m sure it’s something I’m doing I would greatly appreciate it or if anyone else reading these comments has any info please share thank you so much
I not sure I understand your question. Are you saying that it wants to sew outside the safe zone?
@@sewsomethingsouthern It was gradually sewing up to my back bar closer and closer and hitting it but I got that fixed now I’m having issues with sewing zones because I am on a cutie frame from Grace very Frustrating but thank you for your answering my question I’m trying to help I really do appreciate it
The lights above are messing up the tablet screen
have you only used the finesse thread on your qnique
No ma'am I've tried 3 different kinds, but I love the finesse brand. It stitches beautifully and is strong enough to hold up.
