What Our Quilters Say about Handi Quilter

“The amount of online resources for education was huge in my decision. I knew people that had them and liked them and we had a local dealer for support. I have been very happy with my decision.”

Sheila Hillwig

“I made a great connection with the staff at my dealer, Kindred Spirits Quilt Co., and I was also very impressed by the collective of training information available online and on social media. I’ve been so, so happy with my machine, and the support of the Handi Quilter community. I hit my one year machine anniversary tomorrow! ☺️. Still learning and really loving it!”

Suzette Lurcier

“I love quilting. When I lived in the US I would pay a longarmer to do the quilting. Once I moved to France I had difficulty to find a longarmer. When I finally did the cost was astronomical. As I prepared for retirement I made the decision to use some of my retirement nest egg to buy a Handi Quilter Amara 20 with a ProStitcher on a 10 foot frame. I’ve never regretted the decision. I’ve lost track of how many quilts I’ve done for myself and for others. Every time I gift someone with a quilt it is a magical moment that gives me great joy.”

Brigitte Hemeleers

“My husband told me to buy it!”

Debbie Atkins Womack

“I’m obsessed. My mother always said that we don’t have hobbies. We have obsessions.
You should see all my fabric. I had to get my Infinity!!!”

Laurel Barrus

“I decided I was going to build it myself.”

Laurel Barrus has always loved sewing, so it’s no surprise that she’s the creative force behind Handi Quilter. The idea was born out of a personal need: she wanted to take a machine quilting frame to her family cabin but couldn’t find anything portable enough. So, like any determined maker, she built one herself!
