If you complete quilt tops faster than you can quilt them yourself or pay to have someone else to quilt them, it might be time to consider investing in a longarm machine! In our “Teach Me How to Quilt Using a Sit-Down Longarm” video series, Nina McVeigh shares her tips for quilting with a sit-down longarm machine. Nina is a quilter, designer, and fabric artist. She previously owned a quilt shop for 15 years and most recently was the Quilting and Longarm Specialist for BERNINA of America, where she was instrumental in the development of BERNINA’s Longarm Quilting Machines.

The BERNINA Q 20 indicates that it is a 20″ machine, meaning there is 20″ of space from the needle to the back of the machine in the throat space. The adjustable-height table that goes with the sit-down models is ideal for small spaces. The height may be expanded to 28″, 30″, and 32″, so if you prefer to stand while quilting, the table allows you to do so. It also folds back down for easy storage when you aren’t machine quilting. What’s unique about the Q Series is that as you grow in your quilting journey, if you decide that you would like to upgrade to a frame, you can put this same machine on a BERNINA frame.
