If you were introduced to The Grace Company's Quilter's Creative Touch automated quilting software through the Beginner's edition but feel ready to add on the premium features of the Pro version, you can now upgrade! The software upgrade comes loaded on a portable USB drive that you insert into your personal Windows tablet or computer. Don't worry about a complicated setup! The QCT software upgrade runs the same setup process as the Beginner's edition, so you know you've done it before!

On Quilter's Creative Touch 5 Pro updated software, you can create your own unique patterns using the record free-motion feature. Other advanced features include PatternCAD™ and QuiltCAD™, allowing you to design, develop, and edit your own patterns and layouts. Create templates, use them for future projects, and choose from advanced pattern placement options. These programs are user-friendly and will work with Windows home computers, laptops, and tablets (not included).

Quilter's Creative Touch 5 Pro Features

---

Record Free Motion

The Pro version of Quilter's Creative Touch Software allows you to record and save any free–motion quilted patterns to use or edit later. You can trace a pattern or have the software record your motion to sew or save it for a later time. If you make a mistake, you can restart it, or if you need to pause and edit something, you can do so with the record option. This advanced feature is the ultimate way to design and record your work.

PatternCAD

If you need a design that's not included on the machine, the PatternCAD feature allows you to draw your own plans. You can also edit any of the 200 included patterns already on the software. From simple lines to intricate designs, there are various ways to achieve what's in your imagination. PatternCAD allows you to bring any idea to life and be stitched with Quilter's Creative Touch 5 Pro.

QuiltCAD

While PatternCAD allows you to edit individual patterns, QuiltCAD enables you to design entire quilt block layouts. You can create intricate arrangements with different blocks throughout your quilt with this feature. You can merge, flip, rotate, and even adjust the size of your blocks with this tool.

Pattern Optimizer

If you make a mistake or need to fix something, the pattern optimizer has you covered. You can fix breaks in your pattern, adjust start/stop points, and optimize your design aspects. There is also an animate feature that will let you see how your design will stitch and look when it's completed. Now you don't have to worry or second guess yourself about what design you choose and if it'll work with your quilt.

Printing Previews

See how your quilt will look before sewing with the print patterns preview feature. You can lay out your pattern for your quilt with these printed designs or even use them to trace directly onto your quilt for free-motion sewing. You can choose to print a single pattern, the whole row, or the entire quilt. To use, set your pantograph to print across multiple pages.

Trace Pictures

The Quilter's Creative Touch 5 Pro Trace feature allows you to create patterns from your favorite pictures. Import any photo from your storage into PatternCAD, and you can "trace" it to replicate it on your quilt. To use this feature, click as many points as you need to outline your image and apply the design just as any other pattern. Creating detailed portraits and striking prints is now as easy as point, click, and sew.

*Requires necessary hardware included with the original Quilter's Creative Touch Beginnings Software kit to work.
