Which Longarm Machine is Better?

So which longarm is better – a Qnique 19, 15R, or 15 PRO? Learn more in this video:

Quick links to things in the video:

Qnique 19 Longarm – As mentioned in the video, this machine can do 2000 stitches per minute, has a touchscreen monitor, and has 15 inches of vertical quilting space – see the video for what this means!

Qnique 15R Longarm – This longarm can quilt 1800 stitches per minute and has the original handlebar controls (no touchscreen). You’ll have almost 10 inches of vertical quilting space with this longarm.

Qnique 15 PRO Longarm – This is the longarm that compares the closest with the Qnique 19. You’ll have the same stitches-per-minute (2000) and a touchscreen monitor. But having 4 inches less quilting space means you won’t be able to quilt across a 12 inch block in one pass.

In the video I was rolling my Qnique 21 around on my original Continuum Frame. This big daddy longarm will give you 17 inches of vertical quilting space. I love being able to quilt a huge amount of space in one go before having to fiddle with the quilt.

Remember – fiddling with the quilt is time spent not quilting!

Let’s go quilt,
