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.
24" Throat Space
Take on larger quilting projects with confidence using the Handi Quilter Amara 24" 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 24 delivers the speed, precision, and flexibility needed to bring your quilting visions to life.
LED Lights
The Amara 24 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 24 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 24 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
Take your quilting creativity to the next level with the Handi Quilter Pro-Stitcher Computerized Quilting System, designed to bring precision, convenience, and automated stitching to your HQ Moxie XL Longarm Quilting Machine. 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. Choose from built-in designs or explore your own creative layouts, from simple edge-to-edge patterns to intricate decorative motifs. Once your design is ready, Pro-Stitcher guides the machine through the stitching process, helping you achieve consistent, professional-looking results. Whether you're quilting for fun, creating handmade gifts, or tackling larger projects, Pro-Stitcher opens the door to new possibilities while making computerized longarm quilting approachable and enjoyable.
7" Touchscreen
Navigate your quilting settings with ease using the Amara's intuitive 7" color touchscreen display. This user-friendly interface provides convenient access to essential features, including needle-stop positioning, lighting adjustments, an overspeed alarm, stitch count, diagnostics, and system information. The touchscreen makes it simple to customize your quilting experience and monitor important machine functions without interrupting your creative flow. Keeping your machine up to date is just as easy, thanks to convenient software updates through a USB drive, allowing you to access the latest improvements and enhancements. USB drive is not included.
Gallery 3 Frame
The Handi Quilter HQ Gallery3 Frame provides a sturdy, professional-quality foundation for your longarm quilting projects. Available in 10, 12, or 15-foot lengths, this durable steel frame offers the stability and workspace needed to tackle quilts of all sizes. Its built-in electric lift system features three programmable height presets, allowing you to adjust the frame from 28" to 51" for a comfortable quilting experience. The innovative QuiltMaster™ DuoLoad™ System lets you choose between Standard Loading and ClearView Loading, giving you greater flexibility when working with different quilting techniques. Additional features include smooth-rolling bearings, a built-in handwheel for easy quilt advancement, convenient batting storage, and a bungee-style side tensioning system to keep your quilt securely in place. With its thoughtful design and customizable features, the HQ Gallery3 Frame makes every step of the quilting process smoother and more enjoyable.
Easy-Set Tension
The Easy-Set Tension System on the Handi Quilter Amara makes it simple to achieve beautiful, balanced stitches when working with a variety of high-quality quilting threads. Whether you're switching thread types, brands, colors, or weights, the adjustable tension system allows you to fine-tune your stitches to suit your fabric, batting, and thread combination. For optimal results, start by adjusting the bobbin tension, then fine-tune the top thread tension to prevent puckering, thread breakage, loops, or thread nests. Since even different colors of the same thread can vary slightly in thickness, checking your tension whenever you change threads helps ensure smooth, consistent stitching and professional-looking results.
Magnetic Tool Minder
Keep your essential quilting tools close at hand with the Amara's clever magnetic tool minder collar. Built around the throat of the machine, this convenient feature provides a dedicated spot to securely hold metal accessories such as scissors, snips, and other small quilting tools. The magnetic design keeps your workspace organized without adding unnecessary clutter or taking up valuable table space. With your most-used tools always within easy reach, you can spend less time searching for supplies and more time enjoying your quilting projects.
Pinpoint Needle Laser
Take the guesswork out of needle placement with the Pinpoint Needle Laser on the Handi Quilter Amara 24. This convenient built-in feature projects a precise laser point onto your quilt, showing exactly where the needle will enter the fabric before you begin stitching. It's especially helpful when aligning intricate designs, following marked patterns, or positioning stitches in detailed quilting areas. Easily turn the laser on or off through the machine's Laser settings to suit your quilting needs. With greater visibility and accuracy, you can confidently position your stitches and achieve beautifully detailed results.
BILT APP
The BILT app is a free tool for you to use that provides step-by-step visual product assembly instructions. This app will show you how to assemble your table and machine with 3D interactive rendering. It makes the long arm assembly process so much easier. You can even register your machine and save your receipt on the BILT app. Search BILT in your Apple or Google Play store today!
Adjustable & Programmable Handlebars
Enjoy personalized comfort and control with the Amara 24's independently adjustable and programmable front handlebars. Each handlebar can be positioned separately, allowing you to raise one while lowering the other or adjust both to a variety of angles for a comfortable quilting experience. The programmable star and diamond buttons let you customize frequently used functions, including Start/Stop, Needle Up/Down, stitching speed adjustments, and Tie-Off. With ergonomic positioning and convenient controls right at your fingertips, the Amara 24 makes quilting more comfortable and efficient.
