Frustrated With Your Thread?
Not Anymore!
The unsung hero of every quilter’s aspiration is their thread. Most quilters just hope that the thread will work correctly. The Q’nique 16X Series takes the next step, ensuring that your thread will always perform when it matters most.
Precision Winder
Need to wind a bobbin? No problem! An automatic bobbin winder with fill sensors can help you fill your bobbins correctly the first time, every time.
Threading Map
Don’t get lost while threading your machine! A step-by-step threading guide is printed right on the machine itself, making it easier than ever to get your machine ready to work.
Bobbin Estimator & Light
The new bobbin estimator on the Q’nique 16X Elite removes the guesswork of knowing how much bobbin thread you have left by letting you know when it’s getting low. Plus, each machine has a light in the bobbin area to make changing the bobbin a breeze.

Your trusty home sewing machine can only carry your aspirations so far. The Q’nique 16X series expands your view with a longer reach, easier controls, faster speeds, and a brighter workspace.
