Aurora, Ill., Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BERNINA of America, the premier manufacturer of sewing, embroidery and quilting machines, is proud to announce the launch of the new BERNINA Q 16 machine. The Q 16 machine is 100% designed and engineered by BERNINA in Switzerland and is an extension of BERNINA’s current Longarm Quilting Machines, the Q 20 and Q 24. The new Q 16 features a spacious 16-inch workspace making it the perfect solution for quilters who need more throat space.
“We are incredibly proud to introduce our new BERNINA Q 16 machine,” said Paul Ashworth, President of BERNINA of America. At BERNINA, we are well aware that quilting dreams are often bigger than the space available to create. That is precisely why we designed a longarm machine specifically for quilters who need more throat space to bring their creations to life. We are excited to give our loyal customers a machine that is sized for small spaces at a price that is budget-conscious.”
The new Q 16 machine has all the amazing benefits of the BERNINA Q 20 sit-model. Each Q 16 comes equipped with innovative features that have become synonymous with BERNINA including a Stitch Regulator to make freehand quilting easy. The Q16 will also have a maximum sewing speed of 2,000 stitches per minute, a color touch screen, a unique digital thread tension adjustment and a needle threader. Additionally, the Q 16 machine is compatible with multiple table options that allow users to adjust the height and easily store it away when not in use. Each table is sturdy and comes in many different designs including the Standard Cabinet, Elevated Cabinet, Lift Table and Folding Table. The Q 16 machine starts at $8,999 MSRP.
