Main Features & Creative Benefits

Handi Quilter Amara ST Longarm Workspace

20 Inches of Expansive Workspace: Elevate your creative reach with a spacious, beautifully open throat. Guiding dense quilt sandwiches, adjusting applique layers, and executing micro-stippling becomes a smooth, painless process with more than four times the area of typical home sewing setups.

QuiltMaster Servo-Controlled Stitch Regulation: Stitch with absolute confidence. This high-precision system monitors your manual fabric speed and adjusts the motor dynamically to deliver beautifully consistent stitches, running up to a blazing 2,500 stitches per minute.

Easy-Set Tension TM Interface: No more guessing your tension settings. The intuitive numeric readout on the touchscreen lets you view, test, and save perfect tension values for specialized threads, metallic filaments, and variable batting thicknesses.

Vibrant QuiltMaster LED Light Package: Maintain perfect visibility at any hour. This extensive, menu-controlled lighting system illuminates the entire throat area, the needle bar, and the bobbin assembly to minimize shadows and reduce eye strain.

Crisp Pinpoint Needle Laser: Perfect your placement instantly. A built-in laser projects a high-visibility dot directly onto the fabric, indicating the exact needle entry point for flawless modern ruler work, micro-pivoting, and precise start-stop points.

Handi Feet System Compatibility: Customize your stationary quilting setup with specialized longarm presser feet. The secure mount comes with a quarter-inch closed-toe foot installed and an open-toe foot included in the package.

Table Options

Tailor your stationary longarm setup to match your ergonomic comfort and physical room layout. The Handi Quilter Amara ST is compatible with two heavy-duty stationary table configurations:

HQ Lift Table

HQ Lift Table

The ultimate programable solution for premium ergonomics. Made with a solid, ultra-smooth one-piece tabletop and containing built-in InSight stitch regulation, this table allows you to switch from sitting to standing at the touch of a button. Features four programmable height buttons that remember your favorite physical setups so you can quilt longer without strain or fatigue.

HQ InSight Table

HQ InSight Table

An exceptionally sturdy, classic frame layout perfect for rooms where space is at a premium. Spanning a highly compact 38" x 38" footprint, this tabletop offers three times more quilting space than the average domestic sewing table. It comes equipped with built-in HQ InSight Stitch Regulation sensors to ensure flawless stitching across every single pass.

How Much Space Will I Need?

Handi Quilter Amara ST Studio Space Planning

Stationary tables are highly compact and comfortably fit into most standard bedrooms, craft spaces, and multi-purpose studios. To calculate your ideal layout, ensure you have approximately 2 to 3 feet of clearance on the sides of the table. This guarantees you have ample room to load and sit comfortably in your chair, adjust bobbins, maneuver larger quilt backs around the tabletop sides, and guide heavy weight fabrics with full, relaxed arm extensions.
