Small Spaces. Big Ideas.

The BERNINA Q 16 and Q 20 are longarm quilting machines and only differ in the length of the throat space and the maximum sewing space.

  • Q 20 has a throat space of 20 inches
  • Q 16 has a throat space of 16 inches

Both machines can be paired with a standard or height-adjustable cabinet or with a foldable, height-adjustable table.
