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).
