Expand your sit-down longarm quilting canvas and experience drag-free stitching with the Handi Quilter HQ InSight Table Extension. Specifically engineered to attach seamlessly to the HQ InSight Stitch Regulation Table for 16-inch to 20-inch machines (such as the HQ Capri 18 and Sweet Sixteen), this space-saving extension provides a generous 38-inch by 38-inch tabletop surface. Featuring a convenient fold-down leaf design, it pops up effortlessly when you need extra support for bulky king-size quilts and drops down flat to save floor space when not in use.
Key Features
-
Expanded Tabletop Surface (38" x 38"): Provides a spacious, smooth surface to support heavy quilt sandwiches and eliminate fabric drag at needle level.
-
Fold-Down Leaf Mechanism: Heavy-duty locking hinge arms allow the extension to lift and lock securely in place during quilting, then fold down flat against the table for easy storage.
-
Flush-Fit Smooth Laminate Finish: Precision-engineered to align flush with the HQ InSight Table, ensuring your quilt layers glide smoothly with zero catches or drag points.
-
Dual-Side Mount Capability: Attach to either the left or right side of your InSight Table—or add two extensions to expand tabletop width on both sides.
-
Heavy-Duty Structural Support: Built with high-durability laminate tabletop materials and rigid steel brackets to support heavy quilt weight without sagging.
-
Quick Tool-Free Adjustment: Easily raise, lock, or release the fold-down leaf in seconds when transitioning between project sizes.
Why Customers Love This Machine
Quilters love the HQ InSight Table Extension because it eliminates the physical strain of managing heavy, bulky quilts on a stationary longarm table. When quilting on a sit-down machine, heavy quilt edges hanging off the table create drag that pulls on your hands and disrupts stitch regulation. This pop-up extension supports the weight of your project right at needle height, giving you complete free-motion control and fluid movement across large quilt tops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which machines work with this HQ InSight Table Extension?
This extension is designed specifically for Handi Quilter sit-down longarm machines with throat depths from 16 to 20 inches mounted in an HQ InSight Table, including the HQ Capri 18 and HQ Sweet Sixteen.
Can I attach an extension leaf to both sides of my InSight Table?
Yes. You can install an extension on the left side, the right side, or install two extensions (one on each side) to dramatically expand your total sit-down quilting surface area.
How does the fold-down mechanism work?
The extension uses heavy-duty locking hinge arms. Simply lift the extension leaf until it clicks into its horizontal locked position. To lower it, release the hinge levers and fold the leaf flat against the side of the table.
