Buy Your Last Longarm First

Innova Longarm Systems

Innova machines are built to quilt, not to maintain. Sealed ball bearings eliminate oiling completely. The 3,000-stitch-per-minute motor runs whisper-quiet. Lightning Stitch regulation, 24/7 factory support, and a 10-year warranty come standard on every model. What others charge extra for comes included. The only question is how much throat space you need. From $16,999 (regularly $22,999).

"'Buy your last longarm first' is absolutely true. I have everything I need with room to grow."

Built to Quilt, Not to Maintain

ABM International has nearly 100 years of commercial quilting experience. That engineering shows in every Innova.

Zero Upper Maintenance

Sealed ball bearings eliminate oiling completely. Save 50+ hours yearly.

3,000 SPM

Fastest in class with minimal vibration thanks to 1/2" driveshafts.

24/7 Factory Support

Direct phone support from experts who built your machine, any time, any day.

10-Year Warranty

Commercial-grade construction backed by confidence. Most owners quilt 15+ years.

What comes standard

Most longarm brands charge extra for stitch regulation, require daily oiling, or limit support to business hours. Every Innova includes Lightning Stitch regulation for consistent stitches at any speed, sealed ball bearings that eliminate upper maintenance, 3,000 stitches per minute with minimal vibration, 24/7 direct factory phone support, and a 10-year warranty. These aren't upgrades. They're how Innova builds every machine.

Built by ABM International, whose industrial quilting machines have set the standard for commercial operations since 1926.
