FAQs

As an authorized Handi Quilter dealer, all machines include full manufacturer warranty and support.

What is the difference between a sit-down and a traditional, or stand-up, longarm?

Traditional longarms mount on a frame. The quilter moves the machine head across the quilt by hand or with an automation system. Sit-down models work more like a traditional sewing machine, where the quilter moves the fabric under a stationary needle.

Key differences:

  • Traditional (Infinity, Amara 20, Amara 24, Moxie, Moxie XL): Handles larger quilts, pairs with Pro-Stitcher automation, requires more floor space.
  • Sit-down (Moxie ST, Amara ST): Smaller footprint, familiar feel for quilters coming from a domestic machine.

How do the Handi Quilter Amara and Moxie compare?

The Amara line has a larger throat space and more advanced features than the Moxie line. The Amara 24 offers a 24-inch throat, while the Moxie XL has an 18-inch throat. Both are available in stand-up and sit-down configurations.

Quick comparison:

  • Amara 24: Largest throat space, best for king-size quilts and production quilting.
  • Amara 20: Mid-range option balancing throat space and price.
  • Moxie XL: Strong starting point for quilters moving up from a domestic machine, with a lower price and smaller frame.
  • Moxie 15": Most compact option for tight spaces.

Can Handi Quilter longarms be automated with Pro-Stitcher?

Yes. Pro-Stitcher is available on stand-up frame models like the Amara and Moxie XL. It loads, edits, and stitches digital quilting designs automatically, saving time on repetitive patterns and complex layouts. Pro-Stitcher Lite is also available as a more affordable entry point. Check individual product pages for compatibility and bundle options.

How much space do I need for a Handi Quilter longarm frame?

Space requirements vary by model.

General guidelines:

  • Moxie XL with frame: Roughly 5 x 12 feet of floor space.
  • Infinity 28 system: Larger footprint due to the 28-inch throat and extended frame.
  • Sit-down models (Moxie ST, Amara ST): Similar to a standard sewing table.
  • Gallery2 Frame: Standalone frame option for quilters who already own a compatible machine head.
