BERNINA Longarm Stitch Regulation: Master hand-guided quilting quickly with the integrated BERNINA Stitch Regulator. Simple to activate and customise via the touchscreen, it keeps stitch length consistent even at variable speeds. Choose from three stitch regulation modes, including basting and fully manual.

Unique user interface: A colour touchscreen brings the best of the domestic machine world to the longarm, with a stitch counter and built-in tutorials.

Unique threading path and integrated bobbin winder: The forward-positioned thread stand is easy to reach, and the threading path is simple to follow. The integrated bobbin winder is one of the small details that make this machine exceptional.

Unique ergonomics: Fully articulating handles adjust to the perfect position for edge-to-edge, custom motifs, or ruler work. Program handle buttons for your most-used functions. Guide pantograph designs with ease using the optional rear handle system and screen.

Unique tension control: The industry's only presser foot tension release for threading ease, with electronic numeric tension settings for consistent results across all thread types.

Speed: Up to 2,000 spm for hand-guided quilting.

LED lighting: LED lighting along the length of the machine and above the needle illuminates your quilt for enhanced visibility.

A complimentary day's tuition with an experienced tutor is included with the purchase of a Q Series machine. This can be at our Studio in Devon on one of our Q Series machines, or on your new machine at home, either via video link or with a personal visit from one of our longarm tutors.

We also arrange masterclasses with BERNINA Ambassadors from the UK, Europe, and even the USA.

BERNINA Q Series machines sold in the UK have a full 2-year warranty on the whole machine or 50 million stitches.

To comply with the warranty, we recommend maintaining the machine and having it serviced within the recommended periods. BERNINA Q Series quilting machines have electronic stitch counters that display an on-screen message when service is needed.

Even if you use your machine only occasionally and do not reach the service stitch count, we recommend having it serviced at least every 3 years.

The BERNINA Q16 PLUS with Studio Frame is a special order and can take up to 6 weeks for delivery. We suggest you contact us before ordering so we can confirm availability.

Delivery is included in the price for mainland UK. A specialist courier will deliver the machine, with full installation and set-up carried out by an experienced BERNINA-approved installer in your home.

We have a special mat available on loan to help you visualise the space needed before your machine arrives.
