Amara 20

Experience quality, precision, and a world of quilting possibilities. From baby quilts to king-size, the Handi Quilter Amara 20 is the perfect fit for your style of quilting. Everything you need for free-motion quilting right out of the box including a powerful stand-alone bobbin winder.

Special Features

This 20-inch brightly lit longarm machine comes with HQ Studio2 Frame. Included on the Amara 20 is the Pinpoint Needle Laser and Easy-Set Tension, making adjusting tension easy to do. Choose between precision and cruise mode on the 7-inch color touchscreen (add the Pro-Stitcher® and use that tablet for your machine display instead). The handlebars are programable and are independently adjustable and ergonomic with integrated micro handles allowing you to quilt for hours in the most comfortable position possible. Stitching speeds up to 2,500 stitches per minute and having consistent stitch quality from 4-24 stitches per inch is everything you need to get your creation customized with ease. Like the rest of the Amara family, it uses the high-speed rotary hook with large-capacity M-class bobbin. You don’t have to reach to the back of the machine if you need to access the hand wheel, you can adjust it simply by using the handwheel on the screen. And finally, if the Pro-Stitcher robotic system is what you need the Amara 20 has all the necessary cabling pre-installed inside!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sewing Arts Center is a hidden gem! Matrin and his staff are so fantastic, they are very knowledgeable and helpful. Weather you are looking for a new machine to add to your collection or just a tuneup or repair on one you already have go see Martin and his team. He has taken care of my vintage collection for years. With thier new location they have all kinds of fun sewing accessories and a birdy even said there will be classes starting this fall! It's always a great day when I get to Sewing Arts Center.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been taking all of my sewing machines to Martin since I bought them, and I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else! ❤️ The service is always exceptional, my machines come back in tip-top shape, and Martin is always so friendly and helpful. It’s such a relief knowing my machines are in good hands, especially when they’re such an important part of my quilting. If you’re looking for someone who knows their stuff and takes great care of your machines, I highly recommend Martin! 🧵🪡

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an exceptional and positive experience at Sewing Arts Centre. We were able to make an appointment for our sewing machine repair and be able to pick it up same day as we’re from Calgary. Staff is so friendly and courteous and Martin did an excellent job for us. We will definitely return when needed. Well worth the trip. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sewing Arts Centre is truly one of Red Deer’s hidden gems. Martin and Jena are the ultimate dynamic duo—knowledgeable, kind, incredibly generous with their time, and always willing to go above and beyond to help however they can. Martin has made multiple trips to my classroom to service numerous machines, even returning two days later when a machine I initially thought didn’t need servicing went down. What stands out even more than their expertise is the way they treat people. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re treated like family. They genuinely care about their customers, take the time to answer questions, and want to see you succeed, whether you’re threading your very first machine or tackling an ambitious quilting project. Supporting a local business like Sewing Arts Centre is a no-brainer when the people behind it are this exceptional. I cannot recommend Martin, Jena, and Sewing Arts Centre highly enough. Red Deer is incredibly lucky to have them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best sewing shop in Red Deer. Martin has been servicing our High School sewing machines for over a decade. He is extremely knowledgeable, precise in his work and very reliable. His friendly attitude and helpful suggestions are always welcome. Any problems I have with my various machines I take to him and they are always quickly dealt with. Excellent customer service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently I took my sewing machine to a repair shop and was told it wouldn't be ready for 2½ weeks. Two and a half weeks is too long to be without a sewing machine! The next morning I called the Sewing Arts Center which is almost twice as far away. Yes I could bring it in and because I was from farther away, if I wanted to wait they would do it immediately and I could take it home the same day and save a trip. I retrieved it from where I had taken it, and the next day drove it to the Sewing Arts Center. Martin and his receptionist were very friendly and accommodating. He took it to the back to begin work. I got a call in the afternoon saying I could pick it up. I highly recommend the Sewing Arts Center if you need any  sewing machine repair done. They are kind and thoughtful and go out of their way to bring customer satisfaction. When my sewing machine needs attention again, I will take it there.
