I saw it referred to in a thread and asked what it is. I didnt get any answers(which is unusual on this board) lol. So I thought would ask as a thread. Wondering if I need one ROFL

It is advertised that it even works with the Grandquilter but the throat opening on the GQ is only 9" so your quilted design cannot be very large. Another drawback is that the start and stop is on the handle part so if you set your beginning reference point, starting the Q-bot might get the setup out of alignment. It is also quite expensive - MSRP I think is around $4,800.
I'd rather save my money for a mid-arm quilter with a built-in stitch regulator.
I'm not sure I would want to hand over all the quilting to a machine.

I happen to have a Qbot attached to my 9" Pfaff GrandQuilter. It comes with a number of quilt motifs and more can be purchased from Golden Threads. If you purchase 4D Quilt Creator software ($400-500), you can also purchase and use designs created for the Statler Stitcher and other longarm machines with your Qbot. Or you can create your own quilt motifs from drawings or pictures, then stitch them onto your quilt. I paid around $3,850 for the Qbot and software together. The Qbot can be used on a number of machines, including Viking Megaquilter, Pfaff GrandQuilter, Tin Lizzie 18, Tin Lizzie Queen, Tin Lizzie Ansley, ABM Innova 18, Innova 21, Innova 26, Hinterberg Indigo, Hobby Quilter HQ 16, HQ Fusion and Nolting FunQuilter machines.
