Designed for Machine Quilters: The Little Rebel Sewing & Quilting Machine

If you’ve ever wrestled a king-size quilt through a standard sewing machine, you already know the struggle. The Little Rebel by Grace Company was designed specifically to solve the most common frustrations machine quilters face—comfort, space, efficiency, and flexibility.

This hybrid sewing and quilting machine gives you the freedom to quilt bigger, longer, and more comfortably—whether you’re working at a table or on a frame.


Common Quilting Challenges—Solved

Challenge: Quilting large quilts on a small sewing machine

Tiny harp space leads to slow stitching, sore shoulders, and constant fabric wrestling.

Solution: Extra-Large 13-Inch Throat Space

The Little Rebel features a 13-inch harp space, more than double the size of most home sewing machines. When paired with the recommended sewing table, you’re no longer stuffing quilts through the arm—you’re quilting comfortably and enjoying the process.


Challenge: Running out of bobbin thread constantly

Frequent bobbin changes interrupt your quilting flow.

Solution: M-Class Bobbins for Longer Quilting Sessions

The Little Rebel uses M-sized bobbins, the same bobbins used in Q’nique longarm machines. These bobbins hold twice as much thread as standard bobbins, allowing you to quilt longer with fewer interruptions.


Challenge: Quilting on a frame with a foot pedal feels awkward

Foot pedal control on a frame can be uncomfortable and inefficient.

Solution: Stitch Controller with Handlebar Controls

The Little Rebel includes a stitch controller with start/stop and needle up/down buttons that mount directly to your frame handlebars. Quilt comfortably from the front or back of the frame, and reposition the controller easily using the thumb screw mount.


What’s Included with the Little Rebel Sewing Machine

Everything you need to start sewing, piecing, and quilting right away:

  • Little Rebel Sewing & Quilting Machine

  • Power cord and foot pedal (7-foot cable)

  • Standard quilting hopping foot

  • Presser foot holder

  • Three snap-on ¼-inch patchwork feet

  • Zipper foot

  • Seam guide

  • Needle packs (sizes 12, 14, 16, 18)

  • Three M-Class bobbins

  • Stitch controller (start/stop & needle up/down)

  • Large 18” x 24” extension table

  • Magnetic quilting needle plate (covers feed dogs & switches to quilting mode)

  • Instruction manuals, reference card, tension guide & welcome folder

  • Tools: needle magnet, hopping foot height tool, Allen wrenches, brush, oil bottle, thread net, spool caps

  • Needle threader and inserter

  • Manufacturer warranty

  • Exclusive troubleshooting & technical support via email

     







A True Hybrid Quilting & Sewing Machine

 

The Little Rebel by Grace Company is a hybrid quilting and sewing machine with an ample throat space—designed to do far more than traditional longarm quilting. Offered at Cardinal Creek Quilting in Orange Grove, Texas. Unlike dedicated longarm machines that are used only for quilting, the Little Rebel combines the flexibility of a sewing machine with the power and space quilters love.

With built-in feed dogs and included presser feet, the Little Rebel is ideal for traditional sewing, quilt piecing, free-motion quilting, and frame quilting—all in one versatile machine.

 

For Free-Motion Quilting

    • Foot pedal–controlled quilting

    • Stitch-regulated quilting

For Frame Quilting

  • Add the Start/Stop Stitch Controller to operate from the front or back of the frame

  • Lightweight design (only 28 lbs) makes it easy to move between tabletop sewing and frame quilting

Built to Grow With You: Upgrade Path to Q’nique Longarms

  • 9-Piece Foot Attachment Set

  • 360 Wonderfoot Attachment
