Engineered for passionate textile artists, custom quilting business owners, and serious enthusiasts who require uncompromised speed, ergonomics, and precision, this high-performance 20-inch longarm delivers up to 2,500 stitches per minute with responsive Cruise and Precision stitch regulation. Featuring a pinpoint needle laser light, a 7-inch color LCD touchscreen, independently adjustable handlebars for micro-quilting, a high-capacity M-class bobbin with low-bobbin alarm, and a heavy-duty metal Pro Frame, the Quilt Maker Pro 20 provides unprecedented comfort, control, and stitch accuracy for every quilt top.
Blazing 2,500 SPM motor capacity paired with Cruise and Precision stitch regulation modes (4 to 24 SPI), manual speed control, and 5 basting stitch options.
Projects a precise laser guide directly onto your quilt top for effortless block positioning, pantograph tracing, and seam alignment.
Stitch counters, project timers, a thread break alarm, built-in diagnostics, and a low-bobbin estimator, all in one display.
Fully customizable handlebars with programmable buttons and two magnetic toolbars to keep snips and pins securely at hand.
Room to Create
20" Generous Machine Arm Workspace
Unleash your creative freedom with an expansive 20-inch throat space that accommodates massive quilt rolls with ease. Say goodbye to bunching, dragging, and fighting large quilt sandwiches—this extended workspace gives you the physical room needed to execute sweeping free-motion motifs, large block designs, and intricate borders comfortably.
Built for Speed
Blazing Fast 2,500 SPM Performance
Finish quilts in a fraction of the time without ever sacrificing stitch precision. Powered by a cast aluminum heavy-duty head, the Quilt Maker Pro 20 stitches smoothly at up to 2,500 stitches per minute, providing the high-speed output required for high-volume quilting projects and commercial studio work.
Flawless Consistency
Advanced Dual-Mode Stitch Regulation (4 to 24 SPI)
Achieve flawless, uniform stitches regardless of how fast or slow you move the machine. Choose Precision Mode for sharp corners and complete control, or Cruise Mode for continuous baseline stitching. Fine-tune your density from 4 to 24 stitches per inch, or utilize 5 basting stitch options (1/4", 1/2", 1", 2", 4") for rapid basting.
Precise Placement
Pinpoint Needle Laser Guide
Eliminate alignment guesswork completely. The integrated pinpoint needle laser light projects an exact beam directly onto your fabric, showing precisely where the needle will penetrate. This essential tool makes pantograph tracing, block-matching, and resuming stopped quilting lines effortless.
Total Control
7-Inch Full-Color Touchscreen Interface
Command your machine effortlessly with a responsive 7-inch color touch screen. Easily toggle stitch regulation modes, monitor stitch counters and project timers, view thread break alerts, or run built-in system diagnostics without complicated menus.
Comfort & Control
Independently Adjustable Handlebars & Micro-Quilting Control
Protect your posture and reduce shoulder fatigue during extended quilting sessions. The handlebars adjust independently for height, tilt, and reach, providing the fine control necessary for delicate micro-quilting. Customize the programmable handlebar buttons to put your favorite commands right under your thumbs.
Less Downtime
High-Capacity M-Class Bobbin & Low-Bobbin Estimator
Quilt longer stretches without frequent thread changes using large M-class bobbins that hold 40% more thread than standard bobbins. The machine's intelligent bobbin-use estimator and low-bobbin alarm alert you before your bobbin runs out, preventing missed stitches mid-motif.
Organized & Illuminated
Dual Magnetic Toolbars & Multi-Zone LED Lighting
Keep your workspace organized and brightly lit. Integrated magnetic toolbars securely hold scissors, pins, and needles directly on the head, while high-intensity LED light rings positioned above the needle, throat, and bobbin area eliminate shadows and eye strain.
