I am seriously considering the purchase of a long arm quilting machine and there are a couple that interest me - the Tin Lizzie 16 with stitch regulator or the Queen Quilter which I think is made by the same company OR the Handiquilter with stitch regulator.
All I need is something for home use as I do not wish to start a business and I have somewhat limited space. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks a bunch Gloria |
I have the HQ Fusion with stitch regulator and I love it. I do think that the 16 or Avante would really be big enough.

I'm quite happy with my Tin Lizzie. Mine is the 18".

You might want to join the homequiltingsystems group on Yahoo for additional options.

I'd like to throw one more option at you. Consider the ABM Innova 18" throat as well. The price is very comprable to the models you mention and I believe you get a lot more machine for your $$ with the Innova. I have a 26" Innova and I test drove the HQ 16 at the time as well and I found the Innova a much nicer machine and the rack much sturdier. The Innova rack is made out of aircraft grade aluminum and has an extra rail under the take up bar to help with tension on the quilt.

I have an older HQ - the Sixteen - with the ProStitcher. I wanted the computer quilting capability. I love it!
HQ provides excellent advice. One quilting friend also had the HQ and has done all her own maintenance with help from HQ via phone. Love the newer HQ's. ali |
