Handi Quilter Amara 24-inch Longarm Quilting Machine
The Handi Quilter Amara 24 (formerly the Forte) gives you 24 inches of throat space, a 7" color touchscreen, and QuiltMaster stitch regulation in a machine designed for free-motion longarm quilting. The Amara now ships with the HQ Gallery 3 Frame (available in 10, 12, and 15-foot sizes), giving you everything you need to start quilting right out of the box.
QuiltMaster Stitch Regulation
The servo-controlled QuiltMaster stitch regulation system keeps your stitches consistent from 4 to 24 stitches per inch, regardless of how fast or slow you move the machine. Two regulation modes are available: Precision mode locks stitch length at any speed, while Cruise mode maintains a constant motor speed for even rhythm. Manual mode offers three customizable preset speeds for unregulated quilting. Maximum stitching speed reaches 2,500 stitches per minute.
7" Color Touchscreen
The touchscreen controls stitch regulation settings, lighting, needle position, and the on-screen hand wheel. A bobbin-use estimator helps you plan thread changes, and a built-in stitch counter tracks your progress. If you add the optional Pro-Stitcher computerized quilting system, all cabling is pre-installed. The Pro-Stitcher tablet replaces the touchscreen as your primary display.
Workspace and Handling
The brightly lit throat space uses the QuiltMaster LED Lighting Package with menu-controlled lights at the throat, needlebar, and bobbin area. The front handlebars are independently adjustable with integrated micro handles for precise free-motion control. Programmable handlebar buttons let you assign frequently used functions for quick access. Easy-Set Tension keeps thread tension simple, and a thread-break sensor alerts you if a thread snaps mid-quilt.
Included with the Amara 24
- HQ Gallery 3 Frame (10, 12, or 15-foot, selected at purchase)
- Stand-alone bobbin winder with high-speed rotary hook and large-capacity M-class bobbin
- Ruler foot and open-toe foot (Handi Feet compatible)

Frequently Asked Questions
How much throat space does the Amara 24 have?
The Amara 24 gives you 24 inches of throat space to the right of the needle, the deepest reach in the Amara line. That room lets you quilt large blocks, wide borders, and edge-to-edge designs with fewer advances of the quilt, so you keep your rhythm and re-baste less often.
What frame comes with the Amara 24?
It ships on the HQ Gallery 3 Frame in your choice of 10, 12, or 15-foot length. Pick the size by the largest quilt you plan to finish and the floor space you have. Longer frames let you load a bigger backing without piecing it.
How fast does the Amara 24 stitch?
The Amara 24 stitches up to 2,500 stitches per minute. QuiltMaster stitch regulation holds an even stitch length in Precision and Cruise modes, and a manual mode with three preset speeds lets you quilt without regulation when you want full control.
Is the Amara 24 Pro-Stitcher ready?
Yes. It comes Pro-Stitcher ready with the internal cabling already installed, so the Pro-Stitcher computerized quilting system can be added at any time without a service trip. Pro-Stitcher itself is a separate purchase.
What warranty covers the Amara 24?
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.
