QCT6 Pro
Unlock the pinnacle of computerized quilting capability with Quilter's Creative Touch 6 (QCT6) Pro! As the ultimate creative tool for detail-focused quilters and professionals, QCT6 Pro includes every feature found in the Base and Plus tiers while expanding your design horizon with advanced custom tools like PatternCAD, QuiltCAD, and PantoStacker. Unlike lower tiers that are limited to pre-made or basic placements, QCT6 Pro empowers you to design and edit original patterns, trace artwork from photos, record your own live free-motion stitching, and construct complete multi-block quilt layouts. Complete with an automated motor carriage plate, precise edge-to-edge auto-populating, and an expanded library of over 200 built-in patterns, QCT6 Pro turns your longarm frame into a fully automated, high-precision design studio.
Includes all foundational features from QCT6 Base and QCT6 Plus while adding elite Pro-only design suites.
Draw custom stitch patterns from scratch with PatternCAD or layout entire multi-block quilt compositions using QuiltCAD.
Capture live free-motion stitching movements into editable digital files, or trace detailed artwork from imported photos.
Build single or alternating staggered pantograph layouts and keep designs within custom geometry boundaries.
Guided from Setup to Stitch
User-Friendly Interface with Integrated Tutorials & Manual
Navigate every feature smoothly with a step-by-step, guided interface designed for effortless operation. Access built-in, in-session tutorials at any moment during setup or review the fully integrated user manual directly on-screen without interrupting your workflow.
Hands-Free Precision at the Touch of a Button
Fully Automated Motorized Stitching
Transform your longarm frame into a hands-free stitching engine. The included motor plate attaches to your machine carriage to drive precise pattern movement, allowing you to stitch complex quilt designs automatically at the touch of a button.
Practice Anywhere — No Frame Required
Simulation Mode for Offline Learning
Practice and design without being connected to your sewing frame. Simulation Mode allows you to explore all software features, build custom layouts, and review the manual on your tablet anywhere before connecting to your machine.
Full-Quilt Layouts Calculated Automatically
Automated Edge-to-Edge Pantograph Placement
Simplify full-quilt setups with auto-populating pattern layouts. The software automatically calculates pattern repetition and centers your selected pantograph design based on your quilt's dimensions to get you stitching faster.
Sub-Inch Accuracy — No Math Required
Seven Precise Placement Alignment Methods
Position your patterns on your quilt with sub-inch accuracy using seven distinct placement options. Set physical reference points using your machine head and view a real-time preview of the finished layout on screen — no rulers or complex math required.
Double the Designs of the Base Tier
Expanded Library of 200+ Built-In Patterns
Access over 200 built-in patterns — doubling the 100-pattern library of the Base tier. Choose from a rich array of blocks, continuous line motifs, corner transitions, triangles, and border sets to suit any quilt style.
Align Designs to Real-World Quilt Lines
Precision Fabric Marking Tool
Capture exact physical points on your fabric by moving your machine head over target areas and tapping 'Add.' The software builds an on-screen drawing that aligns perfectly with real-world quilt lines for flawless design fitting.
See the Full Layout Before the First Stitch
Print & Save Previews
Preview your complete quilt layout before taking a single stitch. Print single patterns, full rows, or entire quilt pantographs across multiple pages to create physical templates for tracing or visual planning.
Verify Every Design Before Stitching
Pattern Optimizer & Animation Tool
Refine your design integrity before stitching. Fix pattern breaks, relocate start/stop points, and run an animated stitch-out simulation on screen to verify exactly how your design will execute.
Turn Your Hand Work Into Digital Patterns
Record Free-Motion Stitching
Convert your hand-guided free-motion stitching into permanent digital patterns. Trace designs manually while the software records every movement, allowing you to save, edit, pause, or re-stitch your personal artwork indefinitely.
Draw Original Stitch Patterns from Scratch
PatternCAD Custom Drawing Suite
Draw completely original stitch patterns from scratch or modify any of the 200+ included library patterns. PatternCAD gives you total freedom to design simple geometry or intricate custom motifs using intuitive vector drawing tools.
Design Entire Quilt Tops in One Space
QuiltCAD Full-Block Layout Suite
Design entire quilt block arrangements and full top layouts in one unified space. Merge, flip, rotate, and scale different block designs across your quilt matrix to preview and execute complex multi-block compositions.
Perfect Pantograph Alignment Every Row
PantoStacker Pantograph Engine
Construct single rows or staggered, alternating double-row pantographs effortlessly. Adjust pattern heights, widths, and row overlaps on screen to achieve flawless pantograph alignment across your entire quilt top.
Turn Photos Into Stitchable Quilt Designs
Photo Tracing Engine
Turn your favorite photographs and artwork into stitchable quilt designs. Import image files into PatternCAD and set outline points to trace precise portraits, logos, and custom graphics directly onto your quilt.
