Ask Barb which family hits the sweet spot between ease of use, performance, features, and room to grow — this is it.
Start with edge-to-edge quilting. Learn free motion. Add ruler work. Explore pantographs and custom quilting. Add Pro-Stitcher Premium when you’re ready for computerized quilting.
What sets the Amara apart is longevity: it’s approachable enough to start quilting on immediately, yet capable enough that your skills and creative interests can keep expanding for years.
Both offer what serious quilters care about: servo-controlled stitch regulation, 7″ touchscreen, adjustable handlebars with integrated micro handles, programmable buttons, Easy-Set Tension, pinpoint needle laser, M-class bobbin, up to 2,500 stitches per minute, and Pro-Stitcher Premium compatibility. The biggest decision is space — both quilting space and frame space.
Additional throat space isn’t simply about a bigger quilt — it’s room for larger motifs, deeper edge-to-edge rows, and more quilting before advancing.
This is something a website can’t communicate. Buyers interested in free motion should consider the Amara for its smoother multidirectional movement.
Drive it. Make circles. Make feathers. Try a ruler. Move slowly. Move quickly. Feel the difference yourself.

Both Amaras are Pro-Stitcher Premium ready, with the necessary cabling pre-installed. Your machine can take you from hand-guided quilting to computerized quilting without replacing the longarm as your interests change.
