Quilting machine with long arm platform BERNINA Q16 PLUS

Quilting machine with long arm platform BERNINA Q16 PLUS

Attention:

The BERNINA Q16 PLUS machine is designed to work with a quilting frame, standing. Frames are sold separately, and two different options are available.

If you’re interested in working with smaller dimensions (sitting, with the machine head mounted to a table), the BERNINA Q16 will suit you best.

The BERNINA Q16 PLUS differs from the standard Q16 in that it can use not only tables but also frames, which drastically increases the size of projects that can be executed. Other specifications are identical to the Q16 model.

The handles shown in the photos are included in the frame package.

The working area of the Bernina Q16 PLUS quilting machine (distance from needle to machine) is 420 mm, allowing you to work on large textile projects. The height-adjustable folding table (sold separately, other options available) creates a comfortable workspace and saves space in your studio.

The Bernina Q16 PLUS features built-in sensors and a BSR stitch regulator, enabling you to achieve perfect stitch results. An integrated threader, start-stop function, and 50 LED lights provide convenient working conditions with this machine.

Unique user interface – machine settings and functions are controlled using an intuitive touchscreen, with a navigation system that includes integrated tutorials and help features.

BERNINA Stitch Regulator BSR

The BERNINA Stitch Regulator BSR facilitates free-motion quilting. The regulator ensures even stitches regardless of how slowly or quickly you quilt and how complex your quilt design is.
Two internal BERNINA Stitch Regulator sensors allow very precise detection of fabric movement. This is the first system without mechanical encoding devices.
Two sensors detect every fabric movement and accordingly regulate the number of stitches from 1 to 24 stitches per inch.

The stitch regulator has three different modes:

• In the first mode, the needle continues to move even when you stop. This is especially useful when sewing corners.
• In the second mode, the needle stops when you stop, so no knot forms on the reverse side, especially useful when quilting with rulers.
• The third mode is the “basting” stitch, where you can choose from 1, 2, or 4 stitches per inch. The entire quilt can be quickly basted without pins.
• The BERNINA Stitch Regulator is easy to activate and adjust using the machine’s touchscreen. A manual mode without stitch regulation is also available.

Suitable for household and twin needles
No special needles are required; you can use regular household needles. You can also use a twin needle and twin needle plate to achieve beautiful effects. Or experiment with two colors or different shades of thread to create wonderful 3D effects.
