New affordable longarm quilting machine from Handi Quilter! Meet Moxie!

hi i'm megan with rocky mountain sewing and vacuum and i'm here to tell you guys about the new machine from handy quilter the moxie the moxie is a fantastic new machine in the handy culture lineup and is quickly becoming one of our favorites a lot of people are intimidated by long-arm quilting because of the price tag a lot of the machines are really expensive ten thousand dollars or more the moxie is a much more affordable option for that not to mention it's got 15 inches of throat space great lighting and it moves super smoothly which is really great ergonomically for your back neck and shoulders instead of wrestling it at your home sewing machine let me show you a little bit more about it so this screen here is going to be the home page on the moxie so what you'll see the most often now the screen is pretty small it's about the size of a smart watch but it does have a lot of information on here so it lets me know what mode of stitching i'm doing if my needle is toggled up or down and how many stitches per inch it's doing now if i go into the menu i have all sorts of options on the screen as well so here i can tell it if i want to be in regulated precision regulated cruise or manual mode so when a machine is regulated that means that the machine is making sure all the stitches are the same length in manual mode that means i'm the regulator so i'm the one in charge of that so the next button on my menu toggles the needle to stop down or up when i finish stitching the next one is going to be the brightness of the light right here which is fantastic by the needle the next one is going to be the alarms on the machine so if i'm going too fast for the machine it's going to tell me that i'm speeding this one will let us know exactly how many stitches i've done on the machine and per project if you want to kind of regulate how much you're doing this one here is for any other settings or troubleshooting you might need to do you can switch which handlebar is which if i am left-handed i might want the stop start on my left side this is going to be for information on the machine if i has any updates or anything like that and then of course we've got the home screen which brings us back to here so let's see it stitch so as you can see it stitches really beautifully even though i took some of these curves a little bit fast the machine did a beautiful job keeping up with me in that regulated precision mode it can go up to 1800 stitches per minute which personally i would never stitch that fast but if you are a speed demon quilter it is great that it can it also has this wonderful light down by the needle so you can really see what you're doing now the handy quilter moxie does have two options for a frame the one that we have here is going to be the new loft frame that they created specifically for this machine the loft frame is nice because it's got the ratchet system and it's actually designed to be an eight foot long frame here in the store we cheated and set it up as a four foot frame i do not recommend doing it at home because it's designed to be that eight foot frame there are some limit abilities when it's set up this small with that eight foot frame they also have an optional two foot extension that you can add to it especially if you are a quilter that loves to do king or queen size quilts if you are limited on space however there is the handy quilter little foot frame the little foot frame is only going to be about five feet long and instead of the ratchet system it's a clamp system and they do that so that if you are one of those quilters that likes to make a bigger quilt you can still clamp it and get all of that done on that small space another neat thing that handy quilter has done is that they've actually joined the built app which on that app it'll go through the process of putting everything together you can zoom in and take a look at where things are supposed to go and it's really cool because they even show you how to load your frame which is something that we all struggle with at times now i think the handy quilter's new machine the moxie is a fantastic machine and it is a lot of fun to play with i definitely would recommend coming to one of our stores and checking it out we at rocky mountain sewing and vacuum have fallen in love with this machine and i thank you guys for joining me today with this video
