Handi Quilter Super Sixteen 16" Longarm Quilting Machine

Serious Longarm Performance in a Smaller Footprint with the Handi Quilter Super Sixteen from World Weidner

Bring full-featured longarm quilting into spare bedrooms, creative corners, and shared spaces with the Handi Quilter Super Sixteen longarm quilting machine. Built on the proven legacy of the HQ Sixteen, this 16" throat machine delivers the steady, regulated stitch quality longarm quilters trust, packaged for studios where floor space matters. As an authorized Handi Quilter dealer, World Weidner is ready to help you choose the frame and optional Pro-Stitcher Premium setup that fits your room and your quilting goals.

Pair the Super Sixteen with the compact 5-foot HQ Little Foot Frame for a space-smart home studio, or step up to a 10-foot or 12-foot HQ Studio3 Frame for a traditional rolling-frame workflow. QuiltMaster servo-controlled stitch regulation, a 7-inch color touchscreen, Pinpoint Needle Laser, Easy-Set Tension, and menu-controlled LED lighting come together so you can free-motion quilt with consistent stitches from 4 to 24 SPI at speeds up to 2,500 stitches per minute. Internal Pro-Stitcher cabling is already installed when you are ready to add computerized quilting.

Main Features & Creative Benefits

16 Inches of Brightly Lit Throat Space

Move dense quilt sandwiches, manage applique layers, and stitch larger motifs with a full 16" of open throat space. The Super Sixteen brings serious longarm reach into rooms that cannot fit a larger head, so home-studio quilters can finish bigger projects without giving up regulated stitch quality.

QuiltMaster Servo-Controlled Stitch Regulation

Choose Manual, Cruise, or Precision regulated modes on the touchscreen and stitch with confidence from 4 to 24 stitches per inch at speeds up to 2,500 SPM. The servo system adjusts needle speed to your movement so free-motion curves, fills, and ruler work stay consistent even when your pace changes.

7-Inch Color Touchscreen with On-Screen Hand Wheel

Set stitch modes, lighting, needle stop, tie-offs, and more from a bright 7-inch color display mounted at the front of the machine. The on-screen hand wheel lets you cycle the needle and hopping foot from the display, and system tools include a needle-and-thread guide, diagnostics, and software updater access.

Easy-Set Tension with Numeric Readout

Dial in top tension with a clear numeric value on the touchscreen so you can repeat settings for specialty threads, metallics, and different battings. Less guesswork at the start of a project means fewer tension tests mid-quilt and cleaner stitch formation on both the top and the back.

QuiltMaster LED Lighting Package

Menu-controlled LEDs illuminate the throat, needle bar, and bobbin area so you can see stitch placement, thread shadows, and fabric prints clearly. Better visibility helps with micro-stippling, dark fabrics, and late-evening quilting sessions without dragging extra lamps around the frame.

Independently Adjustable QuiltMaster Front Handlebars

Ergonomic front handlebars with integrated micro handles adjust independently so you can set a comfortable grip for long free-motion sessions. Programmable handlebar buttons put start/stop, needle up/down, and SPI or speed adjustments under your thumbs while you guide the machine.

Pinpoint Needle Laser

A built-in laser projects a clear mark at the needle entry point so starts, stops, and ruler pivots land exactly where you planned. Toggle the laser from machine settings when you need precise placement for modern ruler work or matched motif joins.

Handi Feet Compatible with Closed-Toe and Open-Toe Feet Included

The Super Sixteen works with the Handi Feet system and includes a closed-toe foot and an open-toe foot so you can move between general free-motion work and clearer visibility at the needle. Expand later with specialty Handi Feet as your quilting style grows.

Magnetic Tool Minder Collar and Studio Conveniences

Keep snips and small metal tools on the Magnetic Tool Minder Collar right on the machine head. On-screen tools also support low-bobbin monitoring, tie-offs, needle-stop up/down, timers, and diagnostics so everyday quilting tasks stay close to your workflow.

Pro-Stitcher Ready from Day One

All necessary Pro-Stitcher cabling is pre-installed inside the machine head. When you are ready for computerized quilting, add Pro-Stitcher Premium (sold separately or as an add-on configuration) without complex internal rewiring, and use the Pro-Stitcher display for your machine controls when it is installed.

Expand Your Studio with Compatible Frames & Automation

Every Super Sixteen configuration from World Weidner includes your choice of HQ Little Foot or HQ Studio3 frame. Add Pro-Stitcher Premium when you want computerized quilting. Frame size and automation are selected with the machine; optional rulers, specialty Handi Feet, and other longarm accessories are sold separately.

HQ Little Foot Frame (5' x 4.5')

The space-smart frame paired with the Super Sixteen for spare bedrooms and multi-purpose rooms. The manufacturer lists the Little Foot footprint at about 5' x 4.5'. Plan walking space around the frame so you can load fabric, oil the hook, and move comfortably; a common planning guide is roughly 6'-8' by 8'-10' total room area for the Little Foot setup.

HQ Studio3 Frame (10-Foot or 12-Foot)

Choose a 10-foot or 12-foot HQ Studio3 Frame when you want a traditional rolling-frame workflow with more length for larger quilts. Add at least about 2 feet of clearance around the frame footprint so you can walk the machine, advance the quilt, and manage leaders and clamps comfortably.

Pro-Stitcher Premium (Sold Separately / Add-On)

The Super Sixteen is Pro-Stitcher Premium compatible, with internal cabling already installed. Pro-Stitcher Premium brings computerized quilting and free-motion quilting together in one system, includes Pro-Stitcher Assistant for optional step-by-step edge-to-edge guidance, and includes two activations for Pro-Stitcher Designer software. Select an "Add Pro-Stitcher Premium" configuration at purchase, or add it later as a sold-separately upgrade.
