Quilter's Creative Touch 6 (QCT6)
Let your machine do the quilting for you with the Grace Quilter's Creative Touch 6 (QCT6 / QuiltMotion QCT6) automated quilting system! Engineered as Grace Company's budget-friendly yet powerful computerized quilting platform, QCT6 brings precision automated stitching to your longarm or quilting frame. Featuring a streamlined "Select, Place, and Sew" interface, over 100 to 200+ built-in stitch designs, clear on-screen step-by-step guidance, and compatibility with any Windows-based tablet, QCT6 lets you execute flawless edge-to-edge patterns and custom motifs effortlessly. This system requires a compatible longarm machine or frame, plus a Windows tablet (sold separately).
Anytime Design Mobility: Install QCT6 via the included USB flash drive onto any Windows tablet (Win 7, 8, 10+). Work on layout designs anywhere—at your desk or on the couch—then mount the tablet directly to your quilting carriage when ready to quilt.
Never Get Lost Workflow: Clear on-screen instructions guide you through choosing patterns, scaling motifs to fabric boundaries, and starting the automated stitch-out. Edge-to-Edge feature makes finishing large quilt tops fast and simple.
Automated Machine Control: Includes the QuiltMotion motor plate, precision drive belts, and hardware bracket. The motor plate controls your machine movement to accurately stitch out continuous pantographs and intricate motifs hands-free.
Scalable Creative Tools: Start with basic edge-to-edge QCT6, or step up to QCT6 Plus for multi-block row placement and design exporting, or QCT6 Pro for PatternCAD drawing, photo tracing, and Gold Card border/corner functions.
User-Friendly Interface
Guided Prompts and Built-In Tutorials
Every tier walks you through settings step by step, and in-session tutorials plus a built-in manual are available to open anytime you need a refresher — no need to leave the software to look something up.
Automated Quilting
A Motor Plate That Sews at the Touch of a Button
The included motor plate attaches to your machine carriage and takes over the sewing motion itself — reposition your quilt, press a button, and the machine handles the rest.
Simulation Mode
Learn the Software Before You Ever Touch the Frame
Simulation Mode lets you explore every feature and read through the manual without the tablet connected to your machine — switch over to live quilting the moment you're ready to stitch.
Edge to Edge Patterns
Auto-Populate Patterns Across the Whole Quilt
Instead of placing a design one repeat at a time, the software auto-populates and centers patterns based on your quilt's size, saving real setup time on edge-to-edge projects.
Precise Placement
Seven Ways to Place a Pattern Exactly Right
Choose from seven placement methods and preview the finished result on-screen before you stitch a single line — no square ruler or manual math required.
Built-In Patterns
100+ Patterns, Growing to 200+ on Plus and Pro
Blocks, continuous lines, corners, triangles, and border sets ship standard, with the library expanding significantly once you step up to Plus or Pro.
Marking Tool
Capture Fabric Points With a Single Button Press
Move your machine to key spots on the fabric and press Add — those points translate into an accurate on-screen drawing you can quilt from, no measuring required.
Printing Previews (Plus & Pro)
Print Your Pattern Before You Ever Stitch
Preview and print a single design, a full row, or the entire quilt layout — useful for planning ahead or tracing a design by hand for free-motion work.
Pattern Optimizer (Plus & Pro)
Fix and Fine-Tune a Design Before You Commit
Repair pattern breaks, adjust start and stop points, and preview an animated stitch-out so you know exactly what you're getting before the needle ever drops.
Record Free Motion (Pro)
Record Your Own Free-Motion Work
Trace or record free-motion quilting live, pause and edit mid-recording, and save the result to reuse or refine later — a real tool for capturing your own technique.
PatternCAD (Pro)
Draw Your Own Designs From Scratch
PatternCAD lets you create entirely new patterns or edit any of the 200 included designs — full creative control that goes well beyond the built-in library.
QuiltCAD (Pro)
Design Whole Quilt Layouts, Not Just Single Blocks
QuiltCAD lets you arrange, merge, flip, rotate, and resize blocks across an entire quilt layout, rather than working pattern by pattern.
PantoStacker
Build Pantographs Without Touching a Yardstick
PantoStacker creates single or staggered double rows, then lets you adjust height, width, rotation, or flip — precise pantograph alignment without manual measuring.
Trace Pictures (Pro)
Turn a Photo Into a Quilting Pattern
Import a photo, click points to outline it, and apply the traced design like any other pattern — detailed portraits and prints, made stitchable.
