30% off through September — here's what that discount actually buys you

Written by Mr. MK | Aug 20, 2026, 4:09:58 PM

Handi Quilter is extending their 30% off retail promotion on longarm machines through the end of September. If you've been waiting for the right time to buy, this is it — and we'll match that price.

Here's what we want you to understand before you do, though, because it matters.

Matching the price means matching what's included

A 30% discount has to come from somewhere. For us, that means a price-matched machine comes with the same included service level you'd get from a typical Sew n Vac shop — not the full MK Quilts experience our regular customers know us for. That's not a bait-and-switch. It's just math: we can't give you Handi Quilter's price and MK Quilts' full white-glove service on top of it for free. Nobody can.

So here's the real choice in front of you.

Option one: add ESP

Add our Exceptional Service Program to the order, and you get MK Quilts' full service tier back — the same training, support, and priority access our regular customers rely on, on a machine priced at the promotional rate.

Option two: go without

You're still fully covered by what every Handi Quilter retailer is required to provide: 90 days of free labor, no matter where you bought the machine. On top of that, we'll give you access to our 90-minute new owner video and the direct phone number for Handi Quilter's main support line. What you won't get is the extra training, priority scheduling, and discounts that come with our normal service relationship.

Both are legitimate ways to buy a machine. Neither is a trick. You're just choosing which kind of ownership experience you want to have for the next several years.

The way I think about it

MK Quilts, at full service, is a luxury vacation resort. The no-ESP price-matched tier is a Super 8 motel. Both will get you a place to sleep. Only one of them anticipates what you need before you ask for it.

Thirty percent off is a great deal either way. Just know which one you're buying.

Questions about ESP or what's included at each tier? Give us a call — we'd rather you ask now than wonder later.
