Im so excited for you! I am disabled and HAVE to sit while quilting. I have the Platinum which is Husqvarna's version of the Sweet Sixteen. I love it, too. My boyfriend made me the "Jenoop" suspender system and it really helps a lot holding the fabric up so there is no weight interfering when moving the quilt around!

Wow, good for you! A friend of mine has the exact machine, and I loved the one time I used it. I'm currently saving for my own, even though she says I can use hers whenever I want... It's hard to find time when we're both free, as she travels a lot. Squeezing 2 people into her tiny sewing room with the tables up is nigh impossible. Happy quilting with your new friend.

Thank you. So glad you all understand my excitement. I am super pleased with it. Two days using it and loving every min
Have used up two M bobbins of thread already.
I have pieced quilt tops stored in my closet so I'm ready to baste and play some more.

I'm glad you "bit the bullet" and bought a LA. It's not often that we can afford to live our dreams. When I had the space for a LA, I didn't have the money, now I still don't have the money and I no longer have space for even a small sit down LA. A girl can dream anyway.

I too have wanted a LA, but the space they require and cost have prohibited me from purchasing one. I love that yours is a sit down and appears to be built into a table. May I inquire as to who makes the Charm 22? I did a very quick search and could not find one. I will search further. I would definitely need a sit down, due to my problems standing for long periods after I broke my foot two years ago. Congratulations! I hope you have many hours of enjoyable quilting. Thanks for any info you can provide.
