Handi Quilter HQ Sweet Sixteen with HQ InSight Stitch Regulation
The Handi Quilter HQ Sweet Sixteen with HQ InSight Stitch Regulation is the most technologically advanced way to sit-down free motion quilt. The Handi Quilter HQ Sweet Sixteen with HQ InSight Stitch Regulation is simply the best way for quilters to tackle projects with a sit-down machine. With the introduction of the InSight table, quilters are now able to create quilt designs with beautifully even stitches.
If you love to free-motion machine quilt but struggle to fit your project in the small throat space of a domestic sewing machine, you’ll love the HQ Sweet Sixteen. Sixteen inches of throat space gives you room to quilt even a king-size quilt. The smooth surface of the included table enables your project to glide under the needle. The powerful motor quilts with ease and stitches up to 1800 stitches-per-minute. Choose your three favorite speed settings, on the easy-to-use color touch screen and let the machine remember them.
