Question for owners of the Q'nique
I watched a Leah Day video the other day and she was using a channel lock with her machine. I have never seen one on this machine before so was wondering if this is something new. Also if you have it was it an add on that you purchased separately or do they come on newer machines although it would be the same model? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Is the machine on a frame? I have only heard of channel locks for frame quilting. If so, save yourself a lot of money and simply by some of these:

clamp them on the rails depending if you want to "channel lock" front to back or side to side. Works great for a fraction of the cost.

Feline fanatic yes it is on a frame, as for the clamps you suggest you can get those at Walmart for about $6.00 for 4 of the clamps. I use something similar for my regular clamps on my frame.
AStitchInTime the mechanism she pushed was on the carriage not on the frame. I just wanted to know if this was something new that the company is making available to owners who have purchased the machine.

I tried looking this up prior to posting my question and couldn't find anything but I just tried again and you are right. I still would like to know if you can purchase it separately? I mean you would have to be able to otherwise who is going to give up their frame to buy another one just for the lock??

Channel Lock
I purchased a Q'nique machine earlier this year and the channel lock came with it. It was not an option to add on. I didn't even know it existed for this machine. I've used it a couple of times, just for attaching the top to the batting and backing.
I watched a Leah Day video the other day and she was using a channel lock with her machine. I have never seen one on this machine before so was wondering if this is something new. Also if you have it was it an add on that you purchased separately or do they come on newer machines although it would be the same model? Thanks in advance for your responses.

I have a Block It Rock the same thing as a Q'nique. I bought mine a couple of years ago and it does not have this. I will be interested in following this discussion. Which Leah Day video was it, I would be interested.
