Warranty

Grace’s current published warranty also provides two-year limited coverage for electronic parts in Grace/Q’nique quilting machines, in addition to the model-specific cast-body coverage described below.

Grace Company 90-Day Parts and Labor Guarantee

For the first 90 days after purchase, Grace Company will replace parts with manufacturing or material defects at no charge and provide labor at its headquarters at no charge. Proof of purchase is required. The customer is responsible for shipping the product to Grace Company.

Coverage is for manufacturing and material defects and does not transfer to a secondary owner. Damage caused by misuse, improper assembly or storage, neglect, alteration, transit damage, natural events, unauthorized repairs, or improper maintenance is excluded. Customer-caused damage requires payment for parts and shipping.

Additional coverage: 5-Year Limited Warranty on the cast-metal machine body for manufacturing defects or imperfections causing product failure. Parts must be sent to Grace Company at the customer's expense before a replacement decision.

Grace Company is not responsible for dealer warranties, labor repairs, or shipping expenses. For quilting machines, returns must be in the original box; if it is unavailable, a replacement box must be purchased from Grace Company.

Additional Information

Select the machine-only option if you already have a compatible frame, or choose one of the named machine-and-frame bundles. A frame is included only when it is named in the selected product option. Automation and optional accessories are separate purchases.

Plan for the full assembled frame footprint, access around the machine and space for fabric. The usable quilting depth is smaller than the nominal throat and reduces as the quilt rolls onto the take-up rail.

The bobbin estimator helps you plan thread changes; it is an estimate rather than a direct measurement of the remaining thread. Check settings and thread use on a sample quilt.

Read the assembly guide before setting up the machine. Use the specified needle system, thread the machine with the presser foot raised as directed, and test top and bobbin tension on a sample using your project’s fabric and batting.

Keep the hook/bobbin area free of lint and oil only where the manual directs. The reference card and official learning resources below help with setup, stitching modes and routine care.
