Used and New longarm machine sales
We won' t sell you a Pro-Stitcher
​for a Simply 16!
The Simply16 is a nice 'free-motion' quilting machine for the 5-foot LittleFoot frame.  We can put it on a 6 or 8-foot table for you if you would like.  But if you are looking to put a Pro-Stitcher computer on your machine, we recommend that you buy a used Avante with Pro-Stitcher and save your money.  Your resale value on a Simply16 with PSP is not a good idea for most.  We can help coordinate your used machine purchase with another owner.
​Checkout the Machine Sales area of the website for Used and New
machines options.
Have a conversation with MK Quilts before you simply buy on impulse or price.  If you are at a major quilt show, you can specify "MK Quilts" as your retailer of choice and we will honor the show pricing given at the Handi Quilter booth.
New machine purchases come with a special service package and membership in the MK Owners club.  We have the best customer support model for people that are looking to use Pro-Stitcher computerized quilting that is not only found on the Handi Quilter models, but also Babylock and Janomi.  Reach out to any of our customers on social media for references.

​Be a LongArm Quilter

We have been blessed with incredible growth.  We believe this is due to the many happy customers that we have established over time.  Handi Quilter has taken note, and we have had to try to explain to them why our customers are purchasing from us instead of a local retailer.  We would ask you, our customer, to help us by providing a short comment as to why you chose to purchase from MK Quilts.  We greatly appreciate your time.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend
Instead of hyping some special price or deal for the weekend, MK Quilts is asking that everyone take a moment to honor those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country.  Also remember that many of those veterans around you that did return safely, are honoring those that they knew who did not.  Respect them by not debating the politics of war for this short time.

Paul and Melissa (MK) would like to thank all the veterans and their families for the many sacrifices that they have made.  It is through their commitment and sacrifice that enables use to worry about the simple things like quilting.
