BERNINA Long Arm Q16 Quilting Machine Only (Table Not Included)

Description

BERNINA STITCH REGULATOR
The Q 16 is equipped with the BERNINA Stitch Regulator which makes freehand quilting easier than ever. It keeps stitches
even and consistent regardless of how slow or fast you quilt and no matter how complex your quilt design may be. The
two sensors of the internal, integrated BERNINA Stitch Regulator – one on each side of the stitch hole in the needle plate –
allow for very precise sensing of the fabric movement. This is the first system with no mechanical encoders. The two sensors
detect every fabric movement and regulate the stitches from 1 to 24 stitches per inch accordingly..
The Stitch Regulator has three different modes: In the first mode the needle continues to move even if you stop. This is
especially useful when sewing corners. In the second mode the needle stops when you stop, so no knot is created on the
backside, which is especially useful when quilting with rulers. The third mode is a basting stitch, where you can choose
between 1, 2 or 4 stitches per inch. The whole quilt can be basted without safety pins.
The BERNINA Stitch Regulator is simple to activate and customizable using the machine’s touch screen. A manual mode
with no stitch regulation is also available

DIGITAL THREAD TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Electronically adjustable and numeric. Easily adjust thread tension and track settings for your favorite thread types and
combinations, no external tension assembly required

KICKSTART FUNCTION FOR QUILTING WITHOUT FOOT CONTROL
The KickStart function allows quilting in a continuous sewing mode without having to keep the foot control constantly pressed.

INTEGRATED BOBBIN WINDER
The on-board bobbin winder (M Class bobbin) conveniently winds coordinating bobbin threads for projects. The integrated,
separately-running bobbin winder is just one of the many details that make this machine unique.

THREADING PATH
The front-positioned spool holders and forward threading path are easy to reach and simple to follow
