Product Details
Meet the BERNINA Q16 Plus. It’s a longarm machine made for quilters who need more quilting space. It has more throat space than your domestic machine with a spacious 16".
The BERNINA Q 16 and Q 16 PLUS are longarm quilting machines, with the main distinction being that the Q16 PLUS is compatible with pantographs or Q-matic and is slightly faster.
Both the Q 16 and Q 16 PLUS offer a throat space of 16 inches and can be paired with either a standard or height-adjustable cabinet or with a foldable, height-adjustable table. If you wish to upgrade to a Quilt Frame, the BERNINA Q 16 PLUS and Q 20 are compatible with the BERNINA Studio Frame.
In terms of maximum sewing speed, the Q16 can achieve up to 2,000 stitches per minute, while the Q16 PLUS boasts a maximum sewing speed of 2,200 stitches per minute.
The foldable table is an affordable and sophisticated solution for handling the speed, weight and performance of the Q16. The set up is fast and easy in minutes, with no tools required. Fabrics glide easily over the smooth surface of the table. If the space for quilting is limited, the Foldable Table can be stored in a simple and space saving way.
