The BERNINA Q16 is the entry level longarm quilting machine for quilters wanting more quilting space. With a large 16" throat, it offers around double the space of a normal home sewing machine. With built in stitch regulation, the Bernina Q16 really will allow you to concentrate on your quilting patterns.
With the additional folding table, this is a perfect match for the Q16, offering a large level surface for easy quilt movement, whilst also being able to be quickly folded for easy storage.
Master the art of free-motion quilting with the Bernina Q16 Sit-Down Longarm Quilting Machine. Designed specifically for passionate quilters who need more room to create without sacrificing studio space, the Q16 seamlessly bridges the gap between domestic precision and professional longarm performance.
With its generous 16-inch throat space (16.5" L x 11" H), this beautifully engineered machine offers significantly more workspace than a standard domestic sewing machine, making it a dream to manoeuvre large, bulky quilts.
Experience a whole new world of creative possibilities with the Bernina Q16 Sit-Down Longarm Quilting Machine. Melding more than 130 years of Swiss engineering with the collective wisdom of professional quilters, the Q16 delivers breathtaking precision, exceptional ergonomics, and an effortless fluid glide. If you are used to struggling with large, heavy quilts on a standard domestic sewing machine, the Q16 completely reassimes the experience by giving you the expansive space your creativity deserves, without overwhelming your home studio.
Flawless Stitch Quality with Dual BSR
The Q16 comes equipped with the revolutionary dual Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR). Utilising two optical sensors, this system keeps your stitches perfectly even and consistent, automatically adjusting to your movements regardless of how fast or slow you manipulate the fabric.
Three BSR Modes: Includes a specialised mode perfect for basting.
Stitch Density Range: Fully customisable from 1 stitch per inch up to 24 stitches per inch.
Manual Mode: Easily switch off regulation for complete manual control.
Ergonomics & Total Front Control
Designed to prevent neck and shoulder strain, the Q16 is fully operated from the front. The spool holders are positioned forward for a simplified, short threading path that maintains optimum thread tension. Dual handwheels (located at both the front and back) control the needle with absolute convenience, while the KickStart continuous quilting function allows you to quilt continuously without keeping the foot control pressed, eliminating foot fatigue on large projects.
Advanced Digital Monitoring & Tension
4.3” Colour Touchscreen: An intuitive, customisable interface complete with on-screen help, step-by-step animations, and built-in tutorials. It supports up to five unique User Profiles to save machine configurations.
Digital Upper Thread Tension Control: Adjust upper thread tension with a few clicks on-screen, and track your settings for all your favourite thread types.
Smart Sensors: Features an integrated Upper Thread Sensor and an intelligent Bobbin Thread Indicator to alert you before your thread runs out.
Industrial-Grade Mechanics Made Convenient
The machine utilises the high-performance M Class Bernina Rotary Hook System. The on-board independent bobbin winder allows you to quickly prepare your large M-class bobbins from the front of the machine, even adjusting the winding speed on-screen while you continue to quilt. Best of all, the needle system is fully compatible with standard flat-back domestic sewing machine needles, making them incredibly easy to insert correctly.
