Scale your quilting output and eliminate manual fatigue with the Janome Quilt Maker Pro-Stitcher 20 Robotic Quilting System. Designed for high-volume studios and professional longarm businesses, this automation upgrade converts your manual QMP 20 into a commercial-grade, computer-guided rig. Utilizing a precision motorized X/Y carriage and a dedicated 12-inch touchscreen interface, the Pro-Stitcher system allows you to design, scale, and execute flawless edge-to-edge pantographs completely hands-free. By automating the actual stitching process, you recover hours of physical labor, allowing you to prep next projects, manage clients, and radically improve your studio's overall ROI.
Key Features
-
12-Inch Touchscreen Interface: Command your quilting layouts from a high-resolution, responsive tablet securely mounted directly on the machine head for immediate access and visibility.
-
Precision Motorized Carriage: Replaces manual movement with an advanced X/Y motorized track system that drives the machine across your frame with absolute, repeating accuracy.
-
Instant Free-Motion Override: Drop out of computer-guided automation and back into manual free-motion ruler work in seconds using a quick-release mechanical gear switch.
-
Integrated Pro-Stitcher Software: A highly visual, easy-to-learn operating system that lets you resize, rotate, crop, and nest digital quilt patterns directly on the screen—no external desktop computer required.
-
Extensive Digital Library: Arrives fully loaded with hundreds of premium built-in pantographs, custom blocks, and continuous borders ready for immediate deployment.
-
USB Pattern Import: Easily upload client-requested digitized designs or third-party quilt patterns via a standard USB flash drive.
Why Customers Love This Machine
-
Maximized Production ROI: The system fundamentally changes how a quilting business operates. While the Pro-Stitcher executes a dense 10-hour edge-to-edge design flawlessly, you are completely free to step away and work on other revenue-generating tasks.
-
Zero Software Friction: You don't need a background in graphic design to operate the interface. The tablet software is built for practical shop-floor use, allowing you to drag, drop, and align edge-to-edge patterns directly over your quilt's dimensions in minutes.
-
Unhindered Manual Control: Many robotic systems permanently lock the machine to the tracks, killing your ability to do custom free-motion work. The Pro-Stitcher features a rapid mechanical disengagement, giving you the exact fluid movement of a standard manual longarm whenever you need it.
Perfect For
-
Professional Quilting Studios: Business owners who need to guarantee mathematically perfect, repeatable edge-to-edge designs to maximize their hourly rate and client satisfaction.
-
High-Volume Production Quilters: Makers who process a massive queue of heavy quilts and need to eliminate the physical shoulder and back strain of standing at the frame all day.
-
Custom Hybrid Quilters: Professionals who want the speed of an automated pantograph for the background, but the flexibility to drop into manual mode for custom micro-stippling or ruler work on specific blocks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this package include the longarm machine and the frame? A: No. This listing is specifically for the Pro-Stitcher Robotic automation system. It requires an existing Janome Quilt Maker Pro 20 machine and frame to function.
Q: Do I need a separate laptop to run or design patterns for the Pro-Stitcher? A: No. The system is entirely self-contained within the included 12-inch touchscreen tablet. You handle all pattern resizing, nesting, and execution right from the machine's control panel.
Q: Can I use digital patterns I purchase online from other designers? A: Yes. The Pro-Stitcher software is compatible with standard digital quilting file formats. You simply download the patterns you purchase online to the included USB drive, plug it into the tablet, and import them directly into your library.
Q: If I install the motors, can I still do my own free-motion quilting? A: Absolutely. The carriage is equipped with an electronic/mechanical disengagement switch. When pressed, the motorized gears decouple from the tracks, allowing the machine head to glide freely for manual custom work.
