Upgrade your older Handi Quilter longarm quilting machine with the Handi Feet Conversion Kit (QM00841) and unlock compatibility with Handi Quilter's interchangeable foot system. Designed for select pre-Fall 2014 machines, this conversion kit replaces the original hopping-foot mount so you can use a wider selection of specialty quilting feet for different techniques and creative projects.
Whether you're interested in ruler-guided quilting, detailed stitching, or specialty techniques such as couching and echo quilting, the Handi Feet Conversion Kit gives your compatible machine access to a broader range of interchangeable feet. The kit also includes a Handi Ruler Foot and Handi Open-Toe Foot, so you have two useful foot options to get started.
Check your machine's production date and existing foot mount before ordering. Machines manufactured after 2014 generally already have the required interchangeable mount and may not need this conversion kit.
