QBOT Automated Hands Free Quilt Motion Robot Motor Belts PLUS Quilter Cruise Control Stitch Regulator for Qbot on Mid to Short Arm Machines w/o QCC/SR

Note: Be sure NOT to order the complete Quilter's Cruise Control, but rather the QCC for QBOT combo that comes with the Qbot robot on this page. If you HAVE stitch length regulation on your longarm machine, you only need the Qbot by itself on another page. If you DO NOT HAVE stitch regulation on our short arm machine, you need the combo on this page with QCC Qullters Cruise Control for compatible machines and frames.

  Quilter's Cruise Control Features
  Note: Plugs into foot control port of specified electronic sewing machines with frames, so you don't have to use a separate foot control. Requires quilting frame carriage platform to install x & y motion electronic encoders, which feedback the speed of platform movement, so the motor can speed up or down and maintain stitch length.
  
  Using optical encoders mounted to your quilting frame, it actively changes the speed of the sewing machine as you move it to help maintain uniform stitch length throughout the quilting project.
  
  
• Made in the USA
  
• It is a stitch length regulator for use with many short-arm quilting frames.
  
• It plugs directly into your sewing machine’s foot pedal port.
  
• Optical encoders are installed on the carriages of a quilting frame to
  gather the speed information of the quilter's movement. This is transmitted
  to the brain of the Quilter's Cruise Control and then, in turn, to the
  sewing machine. Without the optical encoders on the frame, there is no
  signal to the brain, etc. Therefore, there must be a frame with carriages
  for the QCC to work.

In order for QBOT to work you will need a quilting frame, sewing machine and stitch regulator built in the machine or a Quilter’s Cruise Control Stitch Regulator available. As we develop and test the adapter kit for the other quilting machines and frames, we will write the instructions and make QBOT available for these products. The development and test cycle for certain frames can be lengthy, so we ask for your patience as we expand QBOT’s compatibilities.
