You can even use your own remote control. Adjust it on the fly! Go ahead, get comfortable!

Other companies have followed our lead with similar features, we remain the first!

Ergo-Grip – Fully ergonomically adjustable handles.

Remember the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? Longarm handles have long been a parody of this tale. Too high, too low, too straight, not straight enough and so on…

With Ergo Grip handles you can have it your way everyday. A1 Quilting Machines offers you the only multi-positioning handles on the market. You can even position one going upward and one going downward. Your choice, your comfort! Stippling is never a problem; just position your handles all the way downward toward the needle. Amazing! No more wrist, hand or shoulder strain!

Stitch Rite Stitch Regulator

*Stitch Rite stitch regulator is a revolution in stitching power. Our Needle Positioner stops needle up or needle down and can be set to take a whole or half stitch! Go from basting stitch to 15 SPI with the easy turn of the conveniently located controls. We know we have many levels of quilters so we have 3 regulated stitch modes; Normal SR, CruiseBaste and there is always the variable C speed mode as well. Our stitch regulator is designed to satisfy even the most discriminate quilter from either the front or back of the machine. By the way, we didn’t forget the laser light. It is built into both front and rear panels and has is light ‘intensity’ adjustable. *Standard on all packages except the ‘Beginnings Package’. (Needle Positioner only) SR,
