Introducing the New QBOT V3 Computerized Quilting System
*(TABLET NOT INCLUDED)
The most anticipated innovation in quilting has arrived. What is QBOT? QBOT stands for 'Quilting Based on Technology." It is a new, totally computerized quilting system for long arm quilting machines. Why pay someone to create a professional quilt, when the QBOT can do it for you? The QBOT offers professional results…easily and automatically. Simply put, the QBOT does everything for you. Automatic hands-free movement creates the perfect design that would be impossible to do by hand. You are now the professional! Just think about all of those quilting projects that you started, but never finished. The QBOT will complete your quilting projects in a fraction of the time. Design more intricate quilting than you ever imagined. With more than 18 quilting designs included, you can start creating beautiful designs immediately. If you prefer, you can “record” your very own one-of-a-kind pattern and repeat it the same way, or shrink it, anywhere you want on the quilt. Take pride in professional results, the easy way. Own your QBOT today!
Quilting with QBOT V3 requires three things:
- A compatible QBOT head - with factory installed communications module and version 3 firmware.
- Either the QBOT V3 App or QBOT V3 Pro App - available for purchase in the Google Play store.
- An Android device/tablet (NOT INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE), operating system of 4.1 or later, equipped with Bluetooth connectivity.
QBOT V3 is our newest product - available for purchase as an upgrade to earlier firmware versions of QBOT or as a new-in-the-box complete unit
Many design features are built into the interface, like Design Management, Line Quilting, Mirror Image, and Nesting; as well as improved features you're already acquainted with like Pattern Quilting, %Restart, Another/Chain, and Overlay. QBOT V3 requires an Android-based tablet (NOT INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE) with Bluetooth. With the many Android options available on the market, you'll be able to get the screen size which best suits your needs (NOTE: our beta testers highly recommend 10" models). The benefit of the tablet interface is that the QBOT will never go out of style. As new tablets come out with new features, you can always have a fresh look to QBOT - it's your choice.

QBOT Compatibilities
For QBOT to properly perform, a stitch-regulated sewing machine and a free-standing quilt frame are needed. Stitch regulation can be built-in (available for many long-arm machines) or added separately (mid-arm sewing machines must have a Quilter’s Cruise Control). We are always updating QBOT’s compatibilities, please contact us to inquire. Please note: the development and test cycle for certain frames can be lengthy, so we ask for your patience as we expand QBOT’s compatibilities.
Bernina, APQS, & Gammill machines require longer wiring and upgraded brackets to be shipped. A $150-$250 fee will be added to your order if you own an APQS or Gammill machine.
