Handi Quilter Pro-Stitcher Premium Robotics System for Amara, Forte & Infinity

The Pro-Stitcher® quilting system integrates Handi Quilter’s world-class quilting machines with advanced computer technology to help you finish more quilts.

Pro-Stitcher Premium offers the best of both worlds: computerized quilting and free-motion quilting in the same package. Use computerized quilting when you want precision, repeatability, and design flexibility. Switch to free-motion quilting when you want to guide the machine yourself.

Pro-Stitcher Premium now also includes Pro-Stitcher Assistant, an optional built-in guide for edge-to-edge quilting. With clear steps, helpful reminders, quick videos, and smart shortcuts, Pro-Stitcher Assistant helps you know what comes next and keep every row moving smoothly.

Pro-Stitcher also includes two activations for Pro-Stitcher Designer™ software, a fully functional digital design program. You can activate Pro-Stitcher Designer on your Pro-Stitcher tablet to quickly import and export designs between Pro-Stitcher and Pro-Stitcher Designer or install it on your PC or laptop. For full functionality, Pro-Stitcher Designer must be registered. Learn more about installing Pro-Stitcher Designer on the Pro-Stitcher website.
