The Avante 18 was the machine that cemented Handi Quilter as the leading global longarm manufacturer, and for good reason.
Many of these machines were sold in the UK and they remain desirable - we have several customers who have upgraded but also kept their Avante, as they are so reliable and so loved. The owner of this machine is upgrading to a larger Handi Quilter for the extra throat space needed for the types of quilts she makes, and doesn’t have the luxury of sufficient space for both!
So this machine is looking for a new home. And what’s more, this comes with the fully computerised Pro-Stitcher Premium system. This has over 900 standard designs included and is fully supported by UK local support, with many additional training options available. Lifetime free software updates are included during the lifetime of the tablet.
This machine was originally supplied in 2015 and is the most fully featured ‘Plus Plus’ version. The Pro-Stitcher mechanics and tablet are more recent, dating from 2018. It is supplied with the Studio 2 frame which has the improved ‘Clearview’ loading system and can be set up at either 8 feet or 10 feet long.
This is the perfect system for either a professional quilting business or for enthusiast use. All Handi Quilter machines are of semi-industrial quality and built for many years of use.
Pinhole Quilting will continue to provide support to the new owner in exactly the same way as the previous owner, including a free 1-day Foundation training course usually costing £160 (conditions apply).
This package also includes a separate bobbin winder, ruler base, a selection of rulers and threads, rear handlebars, pantograph and laser light and microhandles for precision quilting. The machine and accessories are available for demonstration with the owner in north Lincolnshire.
This is a very desirable longarm quilting setup, and is a superb option for someone wanting a professional quality computerised setup at an attractive price. The machine will be serviced prior to sale and the owner is happy to relocate the setup in its new home for a small fee.
This is a private sale by the current owner but please contact Pinhole Quilting on 01905 942972 initially, or email quilt@pinholequilting.co.uk.

Avante 18"with 10' frame + Pro-Stitcher Premium
The Avante is a classic machine in longarm quilting terms. The owner could add Pro-Stitcher to the setup if desired for computerised quilting.
The HQ Avante has an 18" throat space giving 14" of usable quilting space and has established a well-earned reputation as a superb machine that is suitable for either domestic or professional use. There have been a number of model changes over the years but this machine has exactly the same features as the current model. Handi Quilter is by far the leading longarm brand in the UK with a thriving community and support network.
The buyer will get access to the unrivalled support and training opportunities provided by Pinhole Quilting as well as access to the private Facebook group dedicated to Handi Quilter owners.
