Art and Stitch:
Have you ever wanted a quick way to do real custom work? Offer one-of-a-kind quilting services? Use your own designs based on the theme of your customer's quilt? Or digitize a sketch of your customer and use it on her quilt top? What about create art quilts? Become an artist with the powerful, user friendly Art and Stitch program!
VECTOR BASED DESIGNING:
True vector drawing tools (pen, line, curve, bezier, 3 pt arc) make it easy to draw your own artwork by clicking from point to point, right-click to finish.
The advantage of vector based designing is not only the ease of drawing (clicking from point to point) but also the ease of editing (simply reshape by moving points / anchors) and the high quality: vector based designs can be scaled without limits and will have nice smooth outlines.
SHORT LEARNING CURVE:
The user friendly toolbars, organized in sets of tools belonging together make the software intuitive. Hover the mouse over a button and a tooltip will show the name, function and how to use the button. The User Guide is inside the program and tutorial videos can be found on the Art and Stitch Academy website.

The HighRise is an electric lift system that attaches to your frame legs to quickly and easily raise or lower your entire frame. Avoid back and shoulder strain when quilting by moving quilting frame up and down slightly. Use the preset height feature to quickly move from one favorite position to another (sit down for micro-quilting, stand up for edge-to-edge)

Optional Electromagnetic Channel Lock
Every quilter wants to finish more quilts. Every tool in a quilter’s studio should be there to help design, create, add beauty and finish more quilts. The Handi Quilter Electromagnetic Channel Lock is a tool that does just that. Our channel locks are engineered to stitch straight lines wherever the quilter needs them. Quilters can also use the channel locks to help load quilt tops squarely onto the frame and to quilt piano keys quickly and easily. Electromagnetic channel locks integrate using a control box and magnets that lock onto thin plates of steel running the length of the frame and also the carriage. This enables quilters to stitch perfectly straight horizontal and vertical lines by manually using the attached control box. Carriage NOT included.
Optional Rear Handlebars
The optional rear handlebars and display enable you to quilt from the back of the HQ Simply Sixteen. This makes it possible to use pantographs and groovy boards for edge-to-edge quilting in conjunction with the optional laser light and groovy board stylus (The optional HQ Studio Frame is recommended for quilters who plan to work in this way).
