Handi Quilter introduced two fantastic new tools that we can use to finish more quilts! I love how Handi Quilter is always innovating and coming up with ways to make our quilting faster, easier, more fun and better.
If you are a Little Foot frame quilter you’re going to love this:
HQ Little Buddy
The Little Buddy includes special brackets and poles which allow the quilt to be rolled and advanced to simplify quilting small quilts on your space-saving Little Foot Frame. You can quilt up to 48 inch wide quilts using the Little Buddy and you can still quilt larger quilts in the usual manner on the Little Foot frame. The package includes appropriately sized leaders. You can get it now for a special introductory price!
The other new tools are for sit down quilters, and not just Sweet Sixteen quilters. Maybe you quilt on your HQ Stitch 710 or your domestic machine? These will be great for you as well!
HQ Sweet Spots and HQ Paddles
Both the Sweet Spots and the Paddles offer a non-slip grip to help you keep the quilting area flat and to easily move the quilt sandwich. The two control knobs on the paddles provide a comfortable free-motion quilting experience. Place the Sweet Spots or the Paddles on either side of the machine needle while applying light downward pressure. The special non-slip material on the base ensures that the fabric moves without the layers shifting. You can quilt for hours without hand fatigue. Maintain the non-slippiness (I made that word up) by cleaning lint and threads from the bottom with sticky tape. Yay!
Be sure to keep up to date with all the new products and tools from Handi Quilter by subscribing to our newsletter. You’ll be glad you did!

I ordered the Little Buddy for my HQ16 a couple weeks ago at my LQS – can’t wait for it’s arrival!!
I am disappointed! that after ordering the Little Buddy system for my HQ Simply Sixteen that I haven’t been informed in the past week that I was expecting to receive my system that due to the large interest level in it everywhere that some of us have to wait longer due to backorder timing. I am willing to wait but would have appreciated that there has been a huge? demand for the system. My congratulations to the company for having the system be so wanted, but still, couldn’t we be informed that the timing is off??
Sue,
We strive to communicate with our customers, even when it’s bad news that an item is backordered due to high demand. I’m sorry that we didn’t meet your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us. We’ll take it to heart and do better next time.
