What is the difference between the Lift Table and the InSight Table?

The machine comes with either an automatic Lift Table or an InSight Table. The Lift Table raises and lowers the machine height; the InSight Table is the fixed-height option. Pick based on whether you want powered height adjustment.

Is the Amara ST a longarm or a midarm?

It is a 20-inch longarm machine, but it is set up for stationary quilting rather than on a frame. That gives longarm throat space without a frame-based carriage.

What comes in the box?

The machine, your choice of Lift Table or InSight Table, a stand-alone bobbin winder, and both a closed-toe and an open-toe foot.

Does it have a stitch regulator?

The Amara ST is computerized with a color touchscreen. Handi Quilter's stitch-regulation features are part of the computerized control set; confirm the exact mode you need with the seller.

Who is the Amara ST for?

Quilters who want a large throat and powered table for big projects but prefer stationary quilting over a frame. It is a step up from a domestic or midarm machine.

How much space does it need?

The 20-inch throat and the table mean it needs a dedicated work area. Plan for a sturdy table footprint larger than a domestic sewing machine setup.
