Longarm Machine Comparison

The Coronet is designed on a compact frame, similar to the Little Foot from HandiQuilter. If you're interested in a detailed overview, you can find more information on our website, so don’t hesitate to explore.

Advantages of the Coronet

The small footprint is a significant advantage for those operating in limited spaces. It features built-in stitch regulation, a feature that is not always available in some entry-level mid-arm machines.

Disadvantages of the Coronet

However, the frame does experience considerable vibration that can be felt in the handles when the machine is in operation. Additionally, this setup requires you to "hoop" the quilt, meaning you must baste your quilt together before loading it onto the frame as one single piece.

In my experience, if you seek a more compact option, the HandiQuilter appears to offer a more robust configuration. (This is just my personal opinion! ;P)

Choosing the Right Machine

WHEW! With so many options available, it can feel overwhelming, and of course, this isn't a comprehensive list of all machines along with their pros and cons; it's merely what I could compile!

When considering such a substantial purchase, my advice is always to try out the machine yourself. Use it extensively (but kindly!), ensuring it meets your performance expectations, and don’t hesitate to ask as many questions as you can think of!

Consider Your Quilting Needs

Think carefully about the type of quilting you will be pursuing. Are you primarily crafting baby quilts or art quilts that are smaller, or do you have an array of unfinished Queen or King-size projects? Are you also contemplating quilting for others? This is a loaded question, isn’t it? All of these factors will influence the type of machine that best suits your requirements.

Glory Tang Machinery exports products worldwide and across various industries, focusing on quality first. We aim to provide our customers with more high value-added products, collaborating to create a better future together.

Personally, I realize that the Little Foot frame would not work for me since I mostly handle larger quilts as part of my business. I require a machine that facilitates quick and easy loading, preventing the hassle of crawling on the floor to baste a king-size quilt!

I hope this information has been helpful, possibly even narrowing down your choices. Should you have any queries regarding machines, please feel free to reach out to me or visit Seams Like Home in Anchorage, AK, for a chat. Although I have a preference for the Bernina setup, the ultimate choice lies with you, and it’s crucial that you are satisfied with your machine.

Happy Quilting,
Enjoli :)
