Handi Quilter Pro-Stitcher Package

INTEGRATED COMPUTERIZED QUILTING FOR HQ MACHINES

The HQ Pro-Stitcher® quilting system integrates Handi Quilter’s world-class quilting machines with the latest computer technology. The software is managed from a touch-screen tablet conveniently mounted on top of the machine. This rich, full-featured software is easy to learn and makes precise quilting simple and fun. It guides the machine to quilt any design you want to use, create, or customize, and works with all Handi Quilter stitch-regulated quilting machines — offering the best of both worlds: computerized quilting and free-motion quilting in the same package.
