I also love how the screen and all all the buttons are directly above your sewing area. This really makes it sew convenient.

The Baby Lock Crown Jewel & Quilt Motion have arrived!

We are so excited to announce that the new Baby Lock Crown Jewel and the Quilt Motion Software have arrived!

Here are a few answer to the common question "What are the differences between the Jewel and the Crown Jewel?"

1. The Crown Jewel stitches 1,800 stitches per minute as opposed to the Jewel which does 1,500
2. The Crown Jewel will stitch between 4 and 18 stitches per inch as opposed to the Jewel which will do between 4 and 15
3. The Crown Jewel has a color touch screen which is easier to navigate and will allow the user to see all of their options laid out before them as opposed to moving from the settings page that is set up on the Jewel.
4. There are two different modes of stitch regulation as well as the ability to run in a manual mode
5. Precision – this mode for stitch regulation allows the machine to stitch as the head is moved and to stop when the machine is stationary. This is a fabulous feature for someone who wants to do ruler work or while you are working with pattern boards. I personally love this mode. The machine will not turn off until you turn it off.
6. Cruise – this mode will immediately move the needle up and down upon starting the machine. It is based upon a percentage of the motor speed and still allows you to set your desired stitch length. Unlike the Precision mode, Cruise will stitch in place if you rest the head in one place.

As for the Quilt Motion Software.....we have it all set up.....we've watched the video.....now it is time to start playing!

Are you wondering what is so great about Quilt Motion? Is it really something you need to add to your long arm machine? My answer is simple.....YES!!!

Each day I plan on dropping another little bit of info we have learned about Quilt Motion

So for a little taste....
Just think....you can take a photograph, any photograph....trace around it in Quilt Cad....creating your own one of a kind stencil design!
Not an artist you say? Hands a little shaky using a mouse?

Quilt Cad will allow you to smooth out those lines with just a click!

Want to create a snowflake, or a flower....worried you won't be able to get it symmetrical?
It doesn't matter!

This is just a taste....but is it making you hungry for more?
