Frequently Asked Questions
What throat space does the Amara 20 have?
The Amara 20 gives you 20 inches of throat space, enough room to quilt everything from baby quilts to king-size projects with fewer advances. A brightly lit workspace and a pinpoint needle laser help you place designs accurately across the quilt.
Which frame is included with the Amara 20?
It pairs with the HQ Studio3 Frame in 10-foot or 12-foot lengths, or the compact 5-foot HQ Little Foot frame for tighter rooms. Choose the size by your largest quilt and available floor space.
How fast does the Amara 20 stitch?
The Amara 20 stitches up to 2,500 stitches per minute. QuiltMaster stitch regulation keeps stitch length even in Precision and Cruise modes, with a manual mode offering three preset speeds when you want to quilt without regulation.
Is the Amara 20 Pro-Stitcher ready?
Yes. It comes Pro-Stitcher ready with the internal cabling pre-installed, so you can add the Pro-Stitcher computerized quilting system whenever you like. Pro-Stitcher is a separate purchase.
What warranty covers the Amara 20?
It carries Handi Quilter's full longarm warranty: 10 years on the casting, 5 years mechanical, 5 years electronic, and 90-day full parts and labor, plus a 1-year Quality Sewing warranty. See more longarms in our Handi Quilter Longarm Machines collection.
