We have a new machine in our family! I’d like to introduce you to the Handi Quilter Amara ST.
The ST part of the name stands for STationary. You move the fabric under the needle to quilt. The machine stays stationary. It is packed with all the best features quilters value most.
Features
Stitch regulation
Amara ST is equipped with built-in In-Sight™ Stitch regulation technology that keeps your stitches perfect! Free-motiion quilting has never been easier. All you need to think about is moving the fabric to execute your design. No need to move at a steady pace to keep your stitches even.
Automatically adjust table height
The Lift table, included with the machine, allows for easy push-button adjustment of the table height for comfortable quilting whether sitting or standing.
Big machine that fits in a small space
You will enjoy the spacious, brightly-lit, 20 inch throat space. Plenty of room for your quilt, it makes quilting large quilts a breeze. That means no more rolling and stuffing the quilt through the small throat of your domestic machine.
The Lift table measures 38″ x 38″. It will fit in your home easily!
The InSight table (an alternative table that does not have the automatic raise/lower feature) measures 36′ x 38″.
Perfect Lighting
Menu-controlled QuiltMaster™ LED Lighting with 3 separate sources: throat, needlebar, and bobbin gives you total control. Get the lighting exactly how you need it. You can turn each of the lights on or off and they are also equipped with a dimmer.
Fast!
At top speed of 2500 stitches per minute, the Amara ST is ready for the most advanced quilting techniques.
Controls at your fingertips
The adjustable 7-inch high-resolution color touch screen puts the machine settings right at your finger tips. Set the machine to YOUR style of quilting. This flexible machine is perfect for those who are just making the leap into longarm quilting but also advanced enough for professional art quilters.
All the features that make quilting fun
We have included quilters’ favorite features found on our popular Amara moveable machines. As well as making this machine easy to upgrade to a frame-mounted, movable machine if you ever get the desire.

Do you have to use the insight table for stitch regulation?
The sensors for the stitch regulator are in the Insight table. So, yes you do need the Insight table for stitch regulation. You can, however, set the machine to manual if you prefer to stitch without regulation.
