I have the Qbot on a TL18LS (2009 model) and love it. I got a demo for under 1700.00 USD and the software was about 200.00 USD. For the price, I couldn't beat it.
PCquilter Side Mount was going to be over 3,000 USD by the time I got everything I needed...and it would have taken up about a foot of my frames quilting space. The Qbot takes up about 3" if that...love it!
Nothing to disconnect to do free motion...just don't engage a qbot design...and you are in your normal machine mode.

I think I did. And it's already updated to 2.7 (2.9 is for 12-14 ft frame & mine is 10ft, so didn't need it).
Someday, when my space grows, I'll get a longer frame...don't see it happening anytime soon...and I can do a king size quilt on this frame (end to end, but can do).
If you call around to Joanns or Pfaff/Viking dealers & ask, they may have demo Qbots for a bargain price.

I have a Tin Lizzie 18LS but don't have a computerized system. I wanted to learn to quilt freehand before getting a computer. I hate doing pantos, or rather working from the back of the machine, so I may look for one soon too.

I am just waiting for my new Tin Lizzie 18 DLS and Phoenix frame to be delivered - can't wait, I'm so excited. I'm thinking of purchasing a qbot from eBay. The one I have my eye on is version 2. Do you know if I could upgrade to v. 2.07/2.09 and how much would it cost?
