CNC is a acronym for "Computerized Numerical Control".

Basically what it means is that you plot out the design on a computer by using measurements on the A and X axis and then when you like what you see then after loading the quilt on the long arm you take it to a certain point and "zero" it out and then you hit the enter key and it will put quilt the entire quilt in the design that you have made or plotted.

They are expensive around $15,000 or so depending on what you buy but its easy and all you do is push a button and take a break! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a Plotter that I kept from my Graphics business and it works on the same principle. The vinyl will move back and forth and the plotter blade move side to side and thats what creates the designs.
