I saw them attached to the machine carriage opposite end of needle on the machine. I just got a handiquilter frame and juki98q and was wondering about getting some for mine.

handi-quilter is not out of business- their business is based in Utah- and thriving strongly- they have just come out with new machines- new handles- lots of new items-
visit Handiquilter.com-and look for instructions- or contact information= i have talked to them many times over the past few years they are very well informed and helpful- can talk you through most anything.

I used industrial strength sticky back Velco to attach the HandiHandles to my Brother machine. This was several years ago but I remember that it held them on rather well.

I came upon handi handles BR2000 and my DH tried to convert it to fit my machine by hooking it up to the foot pedal wires. Well it limits me a bit so before this is a permanent solution does anyone know if the BR2000 was made for Bernina machines? Might be less frustrating to have an excuse to purchase a machine that fits the handles HAHA
Thank you

BR2000 is for a Brother machine. A J2000 Handi Handles are for a Juki TL98...

They are talking about Handi-Handles (speed control) not the Handi-Quilter. Handi-Handles are out of business.

I can plug my handi-handles speed control into my brother machine because it takes a 1 prong jack but cannot plug into my juki 2000 QI as it takes a dc barrel connection....does anyone know where I can find an adapter or what it’s call so I can search for it? Thanks for any info.
