First, Decide What You Want to Move
Move the Machine: Frame-Mounted
Moxie, Moxie XL, Amara 20, Amara 24, and Infinity 28 move across a quilt supported on a frame. Quilt by hand or use compatible computerization, depending on the model and package.
Compare the Machine Essentials
Every model below includes stitch regulation. Throat space is the distance between the needle and machine body; it is not the same as usable quilting area or maximum quilt size.
On smaller screens, swipe across the tables to see every column.
| Model | Quilting format | Throat space | Max. stitches/min. | Machine Display |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moxie | Frame-mounted | 15 inches | 1,800 | 1.44-inch color display |
| Moxie XL | Frame-mounted | 18 inches | 2,100 | 4.3-inch touchscreen |
| Moxie ST | Stationary | 18 inches | 2,100 | 4.3-inch touchscreen |
| Amara 20 | Frame-mounted | 20 inches | 2,500 | 7-inch touchscreen |
| Amara 24 | Frame-mounted | 24 inches | 2,500 | 7-inch touchscreen |
| Amara ST | Stationary | 20 inches | 2,500 | 7-inch touchscreen |
| Infinity 28 | Frame-mounted | 28 inches | 3,100 | 12-inch touchscreen |
The sizes above refer to machine displays. Pro-Stitcher adds its own computerized quilting interface on compatible frame-mounted systems; Moxie ST and Amara ST do not support it.
Maximum speed is a capability, not a recommended speed for every design. Choose the pace that suits your technique and project.

Narrow Your Choices
I Prefer Stationary Quilting
Compare Moxie ST with Amara ST. Consider 18 versus 20 inches of throat space, the controls, and whether the automatic Lift Table is useful for your working position.
I Want a Frame-Mounted Starting Point
Compare Moxie and Moxie XL. Both offer Loft and Little Foot choices and optional Pro-Stitcher Lite; throat space and display are key differences.
I Want More Room and Control
Compare Amara 20, Amara 24, and Infinity 28. Consider throat space, frame footprint, handlebar controls, and whether computerization is optional or included.
Questions Worth Asking Before You Choose
How Much Room Do I Need?
Measure your available floor space, access paths, and working clearances. Published footprints exclude some or all of the room needed for walking, standing, a chair, and handling the quilt. Compare the full setup before choosing a frame length or table.
Explore Frames & TablesDoes Stitch Regulation Mean Computerized Quilting?
No. Stitch regulation adjusts stitching to help maintain stitch length as you move the quilt or machine. Pro-Stitcher guides compatible frame-mounted machines through digital patterns. The two stationary models do not support Pro-Stitcher.
Can I Try a Machine Before Deciding?
Our incoming demonstration lineup is Moxie XL with an 8-foot Loft Frame and Pro-Stitcher Lite; Amara 20 with a 10-foot Studio3 Frame; and Infinity 28 with a 12-foot Gallery3 Frame and Pro-Stitcher Premium with Designer.
Our Amara 20 demo machine does not have Pro-Stitcher. Pro-Stitcher Premium is available as an option for a purchased Amara 20 system. Contact us to confirm arrival and demonstration availability before visiting.
