The perfect compact quilting frame — precision Bernina engineering, with friendly Bamber service.
If you’ve ever dreamed of having a full-size quilting setup but don’t have the room for a long frame, the Bernina Hoop Frame is your new best friend. This clever 5-foot frame gives you all the fun and freedom of longarm quilting — but without taking over your sewing room.
It’s built for precision, smooth fabric control, and perfect results, thanks to its sturdy star-shaped rails and innovative clamping system that keeps your quilt nice and secure while you stitch. The ratchet tension system on the front rail makes it easy to fine-tune your project for flawless quilting every time.
