Every longarm machine lets you sew larger quilts, but only one takes quilting to places it’s never been before. From the moment you first drive a BERNINA Q Series Longarm, you’ll appreciate the ergonomics, the smooth glide of the machine on the fabric, and the impeccable stitch quality. That’s because every machine in the BERNINA Q Series is synonymous with Swiss engineering, awe-inspiring precision, and unrivaled innovation.
You’ll enjoy the Q Series' exceptional features – from the customizable interface to the generous throat space to the ease of threading.
Unique Threading Path
The spool holders are positioned towards the front of the machine with a threading path that’s simple to follow. The short thread path supports optimum thread tension.
BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR)
Equipped with two optical sensors, this innovative system offers superior stitch quality and maximum flexibility. There are three modes, which result in impeccable stitches at any length, regardless of how fast or slow you move the fabric or machine. A manual mode with no stitch regulation is also available.
BERNINA delivers electronically adjustable and numeric thread tension control. With just a few easy clicks, you can digitally adjust thread tension, and track the settings for your favorite thread types and combinations.
Integrated Bobbin Winder
This on-board bobbin winder (M Class bobbin) conveniently winds coordinating bobbin threads for your projects, independent of machine operation.
POWER UP YOUR QUILTING WITH THE Q SERIES LIFT TABLE
This powered, height-adjusted table is a favorite choice. Not only does it make it easy to adjust your quilting position, the hinged side leaves also provide extra quilting space that extends out, which is really great for larger, bulky quilts. Whether you’re sitting or standing, it’s just one more way BERNINA powers up your quilting potential.
