BERNINA Q16 Longarm with BERNINA Hoop Frame
Switching from a regular domestic sewing machine to a BERNINA Q16 longarm machine is a seamless transition. The generous throat space provides ample room to effortlessly maneuver your quilt. With this expanded workspace, your creative possibilities expand, and you’ll find yourself making fewer adjustments. The freedom of free-motion quilting knows no bounds as you comfortably guide your quilt to achieve perfection, allowing your imagination to run wild with every stitch.
BERNINA Hoop Frame
The BERNINA Hoop Frame is a compact 5-foot quilting frame that fits easily into small spaces. Its smart hooping system means your quilt size is never limited, letting you create anything from small projects to king-size quilts. With features like star-shaped rails for strong fabric grip, innovative clamps to hold finished sections, a tension-adjusting front rail, side leaders for small quilts, and a rear table for pantograph work, this frame gives you smooth, consistent results. You can quilt comfortably sitting or standing, and the take-up rail makes it easy to access or remove your machine anytime.
Working with Bright Lights
The working area is naturally illuminated, providing ample lighting even in darker rooms, ensuring a well-illuminated quilting area. With 50 bright LED lights positioned along the throat space of the machine and above the needle, your quilt is brilliantly lit for improved visibility during quilting.
The BERNINA Q16 has a Unique User Interface
The BERNINA Longarm machines feature a user-friendly touch screen interface that is easy to navigate. You can customize individual settings for your comfort and benefit from built-in tutorials that provide assistance. The interface is highly customizable, offering useful functions like five user profiles, a stitch counter, and maintenance tutorials to ensure you have all the support you need for your quilting projects.
Comfortable Quilting has Priority
The BERNINA Longarm machines are equipped with 8-way fully-adjustable handles, allowing you to quilt in your preferred position and adapt your grip to any quilting method. These handles provide comfort and convenience, ensuring that the most frequently used functions are easily accessible at your fingertips. These handles reduce potential fatigue and make quilting a comfortable experience.
Ergonomics Matter with the BERNINA Q16
You can operate the machine entirely from the front, and the frame height is adjustable to your preference. Additionally, the machine features dual handwheels, both in the front and back, which make manual needle positioning easy and convenient.
Fast Threading and Winding
Threading is simplified and convenient with the BERNINA Longarm machines. The well-positioned spool holders and straightforward threading path make it easy to thread your machine. Additionally, the on-board bobbin winder allows for quick and convenient bobbin winding, ensuring you’re always ready to sew.
The BERNINA Q16 has Unique Thread Tension Control
Easily adjust thread tension digitally with the exclusive tension system, which offers numeric tension settings for straightforward use with various thread types, eliminating the need for an external tension assembly. Additionally, it includes a tension release feature for hassle-free threading.
Beautiful Stitches Every Time
You can achieve precise stitching results with consistent and high-speed precision stitching of up to 2200 stitches per minute. This level of performance ensures that your quilts are completed quickly and with the utmost precision, setting a new standard for perfection in your quilting projects.
BERNINA Q16's Hand-Guided Quilting is Made Easy
The integrated BERNINA Longarm Stitch Regulator ensures precise regulated stitches in BSR mode, offering four different modes for maximum flexibility. Customization is made easy through the touch screen interface, ensuring perfect stitches at consistent lengths regardless of your sewing speed. Additionally, a manual mode with no stitch regulation is also available for more control.
Its Your Choice
You have the flexibility to customize your long arm machine based on your space requirements and accessory preferences. Choose between the 20-inch throat space option for the Elevated Cabinet (Q 20) or the 16-inch throat space option for the Q 16 PLUS. The distinction between the BERNINA Q Series machines lies in the length of the throat space.
