Handi Quilter's Sweet Sixteen Has Arrived!

I know there are a lot of quilters out there that wish they had the room for a big quilting machine and frame.....with Handi Quilter's Sweet 16, you can receive a lot of the bennifits of a larger machine without taking up the space! How Sweet is that?!


There are even optional leaf's you can set up on either side to expand your quilting space....and they fold down when they are not in use.

We have one set up in our store just waiting for you to take her for a test drive!

Full 16” of throat depth provides more than 3 times the quilting space of domestic sewing machines, with over 8” of vertical space

Speeds up to 1500 precision stitches-per-minute

High-speed rotary hook with large capacity “M”-class bobbin

Hopping foot prevents fabric movement during a full-stitch cycle

Handles any thread: cotton, polyester, rayon, metallics, holographic, etc. Use larger threads for bobbin work

Set your top speed using the intuitive adjustable color-touch screen. Save your preferred speed settings with 3 customizable pre-sets. You can save one speed setting for slow, controlled quilting, one for free-motion and yet another for fast all-over designs

Change needles easily with Thumb Screw Needle Screw

Use Half-Stitch for basting or walking stitch

Responsive foot pedal with half-stitch control

Innovative Light Ring illuminates the quilting area with 28 LEDS
