Welcome back everyone!
Are you confused by all the different longarm quilting machine options available to you? Over the next three posts, I’m going to spend some time describing the various Handi Quilter machine models. Result – no more confusion … just exciting possibilities!
(Oh, and if you stay with me to the end of this post, you might just find a special discount offer on a much-used longarm accessory … a little thank you for your time!)
This week, I’m going to cover the Handi Quilter stationary longarm models.
If you don’t have the floor space for a longarm frame …
like the option of sitting down as you quilt …
and enjoy free motion quilting or quilting with rulers …
one of our stationary longarm quilting machines may be your answer!
So, let’s begin with …
The HQ Sweet Sixteen
The Sweet Sixteen is the smallest Handi Quilter stationary machine. Yet with a throat space of 16 inches, it offers you three times the space of most domestic sewing machines. The Sweet Sixteen machines are no longer made new from Handi Quilter, but we do often get trade in machines and currently have a used Sweet for sale on our website .
The Sweet Sixteen package includes:
- the HQ Sweet Sixteen 16-inch stationary sit-down longarm,
- a 36” X 30” HQ sit-down table,
- a color touchscreen,
- LED light ring,
- Easy-Set Tension,
- and a quilt clock, alarm & timer.
For a full list of machine features, visit the “Handi Quilter Machines” page of our website. Scroll down to the Sweet Sixteen!
Several additional options make this stationary machine even more impressive!
You’ll especially want to check out TruStitch™ stitch regulation. TruStitch allows you to maintain the beautiful, even stitches every quilter aspires to.
Other options include:
- a table overlay,
- interchangeable Handi Feet,
