Encore 18x6 Sit Down Long Arm Quilting Machine & Table

With the all new Encore 18x6 Sitdown model, you can allow your imagination to take flight. The sky’s the limit! Watch as your quilt dances across the space-saving, expansive table, and your quilting visions and dreams float across the fabric effortlessly within the spacious 18-inch throat.

The Encore 18x6 Sitdown is your best choice when considering a long arm quilter with an 18-inch open area, variable speed foot control with needle up / needle down position, collapsible table, and highest quality workmanship. All this at a price that can’t be beat.


Product Overview:

Variable Speed

With variable speed, achieving precise stitches is easy. Your movement on the Encore 18x6 Long Arm Quilting Machine allows you the ability to move your quilt effortlessly as the machine sews uniform stitches.

Custom-Designed Quilting Table

Comes with a collapsible table with a removable, hinged leaf for convenience and ease of storage.

Auto Needle Positioner

Has the ability to use the foot control to stop in the needle up or needle down position, along with soft touch buttons at your fingertips, minimizing the bending or breaking of needles.

Built-In Bobbin Winder w/ Large Bobbin

Offers a built-in bobbin winder that winds while you quilt, so your next bobbin is always full and ready. It also features the largest available bobbin capacity, the M-size bobbin.

Flexible Lamp

Focus light right where you need it! The flexible lamp bends in close for micro-stippling, and adjusts to the back for pantographs.

Oil Reservoir

Easy to maintain and requires little maintenance. The oil is self-contained so you no longer have to worry about oil on your quilts or oiling the hook with every bobbin change.
