Has anyone purchased the QBot quilting program? I am interested in getting one but want to make sure it works well before buying it.

Are you talking about the quilting design program, or the Qbot hardware that goes on your longarm? The Qbot hardware was bundled with my first long arm. I didn't use it much, but it seemed to work ok. The one thing I didn't like was it's a cable system. When you want to switch from computer driven to free motion, there's not a good way to disconnect the cables, except to physically loosen them. If you leave them tensioned, it creates drag on the machine. Since I prefer free motion, I didn't get a computer system when I ordered my current unit. I actually kept the design software that runs on your PC where you can design quilting patterns. (Qbot/Inspira D). It will output a file that my embroidery machine accepts.
