Description
Hand-guided quilting with a dedicated longarm workspace
The BERNINA Q16 provides a 16 in throat space for hand-guided sit-down quilting. Choose the existing Foldable Table or Horn Lift Table configuration in this listing to suit the space where you quilt.
Move the quilt while the machine manages stitch regulation
Built-in BERNINA Longarm Stitch Regulation responds as you guide the fabric, helping maintain the selected stitch length. Manual mode is available when you prefer to control the sewing speed yourself.
Keep the setup accessible
Digital thread-tension adjustment makes the setting easy to read and change. The front threading path and independent bobbin winder keep common setup tasks within reach.
Choose the sit-down table offer
The configurations in this listing are sit-down table packages. Select Foldable Table or Horn Lift Table using the Cabinet option. Frame-based systems and automated quilting packages are separate offers; they are not added by choosing this machine.
