Bernina Q16 Sit-Down Longarm Quilting Machine vs HandiQuilter Moxie ST Sitdown Longarm Quilter

Pick the Bernina Q16 if you want Bernina's stitch quality and the BSR regulator, and you value a height-adjustable table that folds away. Pick the Handi Quilter Moxie ST if you want more throat room and speed: 18 inches and 2,100 stitches per minute against the Q16's 16 inches. Both are sit-down longarms with built-in stitch regulation, so the real split is space and pace versus brand feel and table flexibility. Owners of both report solid stitch consistency; the Moxie's larger M-class bobbin means fewer bobbin changes on big quilts.
