The BERNINA Q 16 sit-down longarm machine head on its own.
Overview
The BERNINA Q 16 sit-down longarm machine head on its own. 16″ (40 cm) of throat space, sews up to 2,000 stitches per minute, and includes the dual-sensor BERNINA Stitch Regulator with a 4.3″ touchscreen. An individual longarm component — available to purchase in-store.
Designed for sit-down quilting, the Q 16 keeps the machine stationary while you guide the fabric by hand — perfect for free-motion work, ruler quilting and detailed designs on quilts of any size. Pair it with the quilting table that suits your space, or step up to a frame later.
Every BERNINA Q Series machine is built around the dual-sensor BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR), which keeps your stitch length even at any speed — the hallmark of professional free-motion quilting — together with a bright color touchscreen and BERNINA’s renowned stitch quality.
