Handi Quilter Amara ST Longarm Quilting Machine Details
The Handi Quilter Amara ST 20" Longarm Quilting Machine brings professional longarm quilting capabilities to the comfort of your sewing room with a spacious workspace, smooth stitching, and intuitive controls. Designed for sit-down quilting, the Amara ST allows you to guide your fabric beneath the needle while enjoying the power and precision of a longarm machine. Whether you're creating intricate free-motion designs, stitching detailed feathers, or finishing larger quilts, this machine provides the space and control to bring your creative ideas to life.
With its generous 20-inch throat space, the Amara ST offers plenty of room to maneuver bulky quilts and explore detailed quilting patterns. Built-in stitch regulation helps maintain consistent stitch lengths as you move your fabric, allowing you to focus on your designs rather than adjusting your speed. A 7-inch color touchscreen, stitching speeds up to 2,500 stitches per minute, and convenient quilting controls make it easy to customize your experience. From delicate curves to bold, sweeping motifs, the Amara ST delivers the precision and flexibility needed for beautiful results.
Customize your quilting setup with two available table options: the fixed HQ InSight Table or the electric HQ Lift Table. The InSight Table provides a stable, dedicated quilting surface, while the electric Lift Table offers convenient height adjustment for a more personalized working position. Both options feature a spacious 38" x 38" work surface to support larger projects comfortably. Combining dependable performance, thoughtful features, and versatile table configurations, the Amara ST is an excellent choice for quilters ready to take their creativity to the next level.
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 ST 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 ST. 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 ST delivers the speed, precision, and flexibility needed to bring your quilting visions to life.
LED Lights
The Handi Quilter Amara ST 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 ST offers three 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 ST 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.
7" Touchscreen
Navigate your quilting settings with ease using the Amara ST'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.

Designed for the Amara ST, this spacious table features an electric height-adjustment system that allows you to raise or lower your quilting surface with the touch of a button. The easy-to-use control panel includes programmable preset buttons, letting you save your preferred working heights and return to them effortlessly.

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.

It's especially helpful when aligning intricate designs, following marked patterns, or positioning stitches in detailed quilting areas.
