The Oxford Language Dictionary defines moxie as “Force of character, or nerve.” A couple of other sources use words like having energy or pep, courageousness, guts/attitude and confidence/determination. In similar fashion, Handi Quilter uses the word “ spunky” to described their latest entry into the longarm quilting market — the Moxie.

Features
Throat Space
Throat space is extremely important when it comes to quilting machines. Without a doubt, quilters need as much space as possible to avoid the hassle of refolding or repositioning the quilt.
The Moxie has a 15” throat space. Practically speaking, you can quilt about a 12″ block comfortably without having to roll the quilt back and forth. Thus you can quilt larger patterns without repostioning your quilt. In other words, get your quilts done faster.
High-resolution, full-color display
Easy on the eyes, and in high resolution the Moxie screen makes it easy to set and see needle position, stitch length, machine speed, etc.
High-Speed Rotary Hook
A rotary hook system involves a hook rotating constantly around a stationary bobbin to catch the thread. The Moxie sews up to 1800 spm (stitches per minute). Coupled with the high speed rotary hook in the Moxie, stiches are more precise and smooth. In addition, the machine runs with minimum noise, and still produces high-quality professional quilting results without continuous thread jams.
Up to 1800 SPM on the Moxie
Well, everyone wants their work to be productive and efficient, and Handi Quilter Moxiemakes that dream come true as the machine comes with a high stitching speed of 1800 SPM (Stitches per Minute). It goes without saying that this kind of stitching speed lets you finish your quilting projects faster than you even imagine.
Manual Thread Tension Control
While automatic thread tension is a pretty awesome and convenient feature, you can also enjoy the flexibilty of setting tension to your desired level. Thus, bring precision and control over the thread tension.
Large Capacity M-Class Bobbin Fits the Moxie
It’s great to have a good throat space for more efficiency and productivity, but how will it be of use if you’ll have to keep wasting time on refilling the bobbin multiple times?
So, to make that convenient and efficient, Handi Quilter Moxie comes with a large capacity M-Class Bobbin. In particular, that rids you of the hassle of multiple refilling of the bobbin. Continue with your quilting with minimum stops for bobbin refilling. In my experience with a longarm, I can get over 22,000 stitches per bobbin(13/inch) using 40wt thread.
