Handi Quilter HQ Stitch 610 Sewing Machine

HQ Stitch 610: Built for Quilters Who Want Speed and Precision

The HQ Stitch 610 gives quilters a 10-inch all-metal seamless flatbed with the workspace needed for large quilts and detailed piecing. With 172 built-in stitches, a 7-piece feed dog system, and 9mm stitch width, this machine handles everything from precise quarter-inch seams to decorative heirloom work. The included straight-stitch needle plate and one-push plate conversion let you switch between piecing and free motion quilting without tools.

10-Inch All-Metal Flatbed

The 10-inch seamless flatbed provides generous workspace to the right of the needle for managing large quilts and bulky projects. The all-metal construction and aluminum outer body give you stability and durability. At 34 lbs, the machine remains portable enough for classes and retreats.

172 Built-In Stitches

Choose from 172 stitches including utility, quilting, decorative, and 9 buttonhole styles. Two alphabet fonts in block and script provide upper and lowercase letters in 5mm and 7mm sizes. The 3.6" backlit LCD display shows your stitch selection clearly, and last stitch recall saves your settings even after powering off.

7-Piece Feed Dog System

The 7-piece feed dog system feeds fabric smoothly regardless of weight or texture. Drop the feed dogs below the needle plate for free motion quilting. The extra high presser foot lift handles denim seams and bulky fabric layers without struggling.

One-Push Needle Plate Conversion

Switch between needle plates without screws or tools. The included straight-stitch needle plate provides a small needle hole for precise piecing and prevents fabric from being pushed into the machine. The one-push conversion with two included plates lets you change quickly between piecing and decorative work.

Quilter-Focused Convenience

The automatic thread cutter trims threads with one touch, speeding up chain piecing. Three LED lights illuminate the needle area and bed surface. The Start/Stop button provides fingertip control, and the speed control slider lets you set slower speeds for intricate work or higher speeds for long seams. A horizontal top-loading bobbin with clear cover makes thread monitoring easy.

The HQ Stitch 610 includes 12 accessory feet, straight-stitch needle plate, and dust cover. Backed by a 10-year limited warranty on the sewing head. Explore the full Handi Quilter collection to find the right machine for your quilting projects.
