All Bernina Q Series longarms have the innovative, two sensor Bernina Stitch Regulator system, whether sit-down or frame models, giving you a perfect regulated stitch, no matter how fast or slow you move the fabric or machine. 

A Q Series longarm will also give you much more space for your larger quilting projects compared to a domestic sewing machine. 

In case of the sit-down you will get 20” of throat space and a spacious dedicated longarm sit-down table or in case of the stand-up frame models 20” or 24” of throat space on a sturdy stand-up quilting frame.

If you've been quilting on a domestic sewing machine you will probably feel much more comfortable with a sit-down model, as your brain and muscle memory already know how to move the fabric to perform wonderful quilting designs.

The stand-up frame has the advantage to load your quilt project completely and you are moving the sewhead, aided, in the case of a Bernina Q Series machine, by a specific V-wheel system for easy, smooth and no-force needed gliding of the Bernina Q Series machine.

Another advantage of the stand-up frame models is the possibility to do pantograph quilting from the rear of the machine or add the BERNINA Q-matic automation system to your machine, which is the first step to be able to offer your quilting services to others and become a professional quilter.
