Limited Space? It Simply Fits!
Handi Quilter Simply Sixteen 16-inch Long Arm With 5ft Frame
Don’t let space restrictions dictate what you can create. Combined with the included 5ft frame system, the HQ Simply Sixteen enables any quilter, beginner to advanced, to finish any size quilt without the space requirements of a conventional frame system. Integrated technology and engineering provide the functionality that quilters demand, paired with the smoothest stitch in the industry. Handcrafted in the U.S.A., the HQ Simply Sixteen quilter is backed by the HQ warranty and a large network of local representatives. This Handi Quilter long arm quilter is simply the best solution when space is at a premium.

Rear Handlebars
