Choose from three frame options to create the perfect quilting setup for your space! The Amara 20 is available with either a 10-foot or 12-foot HQ Studio³ Frame, providing a sturdy, spacious quilting area for projects of all sizes.

Whether you love the freedom of free-motion quilting or want to explore the precision of automated stitching, the Handi Quilter Amara 20 offers the versatility, comfort, and performance to bring your quilting visions to life.
BUILT-IN STITCH REGULATOR
Achieve smooth, consistent stitches with the Amara's built-in stitch regulation system. This convenient feature automatically adjusts the stitching speed to match the movement of your fabric, helping maintain even stitch lengths as you quilt. Whether you're creating intricate free-motion designs, gentle curves, or detailed patterns, stitch regulation gives you greater control and confidence with every movement. Enjoy beautifully balanced stitches and professional-looking results without having to manually coordinate your quilting speed.
20" Throat Space
Take on larger quilting projects with confidence using the Handi Quilter Amara 20" Longarm. With a generous throat space, you'll have more room to maneuver bulky quilts without the frustration of fabric bunching up beneath the machine's arm. This spacious work area makes it easier to quilt larger blocks, intricate patterns, and expansive designs while maintaining smooth, controlled fabric movement. Whether you're finishing a queen-size quilt or tackling an ambitious king-size project, the Amara gives you the freedom and flexibility to quilt comfortably and efficiently.
2,500 Stitches Per Minute
Power through your quilting projects with impressive speeds of up to 2,500 stitches per minute on the Handi Quilter Amara. Whether you're working on intricate free-motion designs or quilting large sections, the adjustable stitching speed allows you to work at a pace that feels comfortable and controlled. With the ability to select from 4 to 18 stitches per inch, you can easily customize your stitch length to suit different quilting techniques and creative styles. From fine, detailed stitching to bold, flowing patterns, the Amara 20 delivers the speed, precision, and flexibility needed to bring your quilting visions to life.
LED Lights
The Amara 20 features adjustable LED lighting that brightly illuminates the throat space, needle bar, and bobbin area, giving you excellent visibility where you need it most. Easily adjust the lighting to suit your workspace and quilting preferences, whether you're working with dark fabrics, stitching intricate designs, or making precise adjustments. The well-placed lights help reduce shadows and improve visibility, making it easier to follow stitching lines, monitor your needle placement, and access the bobbin area. With clear, consistent illumination, you can quilt comfortably and confidently throughout every project.
Bobbin Winder
Keep your quilting projects moving smoothly with the convenient bobbin winder, designed to make preparing your bobbins quick and effortless. This standalone electric bobbin winder allows you to wind large-capacity M-Class bobbins independently of your quilting machine, so you can have extra bobbins ready whenever you need them. Its adjustable winding controls help you achieve evenly wound bobbins for consistent thread delivery throughout your projects. Spend less time preparing thread and more time quilting with this practical accessory that makes managing your bobbin supply easier and more efficient.
Stitch Modes
The Handi Quilter Amara 20 offers two versatile stitching modes—Manual, Precision, and Cruise—giving you greater flexibility and control over your quilting projects. Manual Mode lets you set your preferred stitching speed, Precision Mode maintains consistent stitch lengths and pauses when fabric movement stops, while Cruise Mode combines stitch regulation with continuous needle movement at a preset minimum speed for smooth, flowing designs.
Easy-Access Bobbin
Spend more time quilting and less time changing bobbins with the Handi Quilter's convenient, easily accessible bobbin system. Designed for quick and hassle-free bobbin changes, the Amara 20 uses large-capacity M-Class bobbins that hold significantly more thread than standard sewing machine bobbins. This increased thread capacity means fewer interruptions and less frequent refilling, allowing you to focus on your creativity and enjoy longer, uninterrupted quilting sessions.
Pro-Stitcher Compatible

Compatible with both the HQ Studio3 Frame and HQ Little Foot Frame, this innovative system allows you to create beautifully detailed quilting designs with less manual effort. The intuitive touchscreen interface makes it easy to select, position, resize, rotate, and customize quilting patterns before stitching, giving you greater control over your finished projects.
