Description
Bernina Q16 PLUS Longarm Machine with 10' Studio Frame & Q-matic
Switching from a regular domestic sewing machine to a BERNINA Q Series Sit-down Longarm is a seamless transition. The generous throat space provides ample room to effortlessly maneuver your quilt. With this expanded workspace, your creative possibilities expand, and you’ll find yourself making fewer adjustments. The freedom of free-motion quilting knows no bounds as you comfortably guide your quilt to achieve perfection, allowing your imagination to run wild with every stitch.
WHAT'S NEW WITH THE Q16 PLUS
The Q16 PLUS offers all the same features as the regular Q16 but is compatible with the new studio frame. It is available in both sit-down and frame capability options. The main distinction is that the Q16 PLUS is equipped with Automation Capability and pantograph handles, which the standard Q16 does not have.
10' BERNINA STUDIO FRAME
The BERNINA Studio Frame offers a versatile solution for quilters with limited space. It can be initially mounted as a compact 10-foot frame. This modular frame provides ample space for even your most substantial quilting projects while maintaining the stability needed to support the performance features of the Q16 PLUS Longarm machine. This frame can comfortably accommodate quilts up to 104 inches in size.
WORKING WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS
The working area is naturally illuminated, providing ample lighting even in darker rooms, ensuring a well-illuminated quilting area. With 50 bright LED lights positioned along the throat space of the machine and above the needle, your quilt is brilliantly lit for improved visibility during quilting.
UNIQUE USER INTERFACE
The BERNINA Longarm machines feature a user-friendly touch screen interface that is easy to navigate. You can customize individual settings for your comfort and benefit from built-in tutorials that provide assistance. The interface is highly customizable, offering useful functions like five user profiles, a stitch counter, and maintenance tutorials to ensure you have all the support you need for your quilting projects.
COMFORTABLE QUILTING HAS PRIORITY
ERGONOMICS MATTER
You can operate the machine entirely from the front, and the frame height is adjustable to your preference. Additionally, the machine features dual handwheels, both in the front and back, which make manual needle positioning easy and convenient.
FAST THREADING AND WINDING
Threading is simplified and convenient with the BERNINA Longarm machines. The well-positioned spool holders and straightforward threading path make it easy to thread your machine. Additionally, the on-board bobbin winder allows for quick and convenient bobbin winding, ensuring you’re always ready to sew.
UNIQUE THREAD TENSION CONTROL
Easily adjust thread tension digitally with the exclusive tension system, which offers numeric tension settings for straightforward use with various thread types, eliminating the need for an external tension assembly. Additionally, it includes a tension release feature for hassle-free threading.
BEAUTIFUL STITCHES EVERY TIME
You can achieve precise stitching results with consistent and high-speed precision stitching of up to 2200 stitches per minute. This level of performance ensures that your quilts are completed quickly and with the utmost precision, setting a new standard for perfection in your quilting projects.
HAND-GUIDED QUILTING MADE EASY
The integrated BERNINA Longarm Stitch Regulator ensures precise regulated stitches in BSR mode, offering four different modes for maximum flexibility. Customization is made easy through the touch screen interface, ensuring perfect stitches at consistent lengths regardless of your sewing speed. Additionally, a manual mode with no stitch regulation is also available for more control.
ITS YOUR CHOICE
You have the flexibility to customize your long arm machine based on your space requirements and accessory preferences. Choose between the 20-inch throat space option for the Elevated Cabinet (Q 20) or the 16-inch throat space option for the Q 16 PLUS. The distinction between the BERNINA Q Series machines lies in the length of the throat space.
QUILTING HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
Experience the convenience of automated quilting with just a few straightforward steps. Seamlessly plan every detail of your quilt with ease, whether it’s simple edge-to-edge designs or intricate custom patterns. Benefit from multiple on-demand help functions, offering assistance at every stage of creating and placing your quilting designs, ensuring a smooth and efficient quilting process.

MOVE YOUR MACHINE WITH EASE
EasyGlide and MicroMove are the dynamic duo powering the precision of the Q-matic system. EasyGlide acts as the power steering, effortlessly guiding the belted machine head in all directions with minimal effort. Meanwhile, MicroMove ensures pinpoint accuracy, placing your needle exactly where you need it for the perfect stitch every time. Integrated seamlessly into the sewhead interaction screens, these features enhance your quilting experience with unparalleled ease and precision.
FREEHAND QUILTING ANY TIME
Experience the freedom to choose between automated or freehand quilting at your fingertips. With the one-touch quick belt release system, transitioning from automated stitching to free-hand creativity is as simple as counting 1 … 2 … 3. Seamlessly integrate digitized designs with your own free-hand artwork, unlocking endless possibilities for stunning quilt creations.
FULL COMFORT WHILE QUILTING
Tailor your sewing experience effortlessly with the dynamic sewhead screen, adapting to each upcoming task. Adjust stitch-out parameters such as upper thread tension and SPI (stitches per inch) on the fly, ensuring precision throughout the stitching process. Confirm changes conveniently on the sewhead screen itself or via intuitive toggles, providing seamless control over your sewing projects.
PLACE YOUR DESIGN WITH EASE
With the Grab & Drop function, achieving perfect design placement on your quilt is effortless. You can align designs according to your preferences and make adjustments directly on the screen using either Art & Stitch or Q-Matic. Whether you’re attaching designs to quilt blocks or setting virtual markers for border placement, positioning becomes seamless and intuitive with this feature.
