Dragged mine to Chile! :-)
Got one of the very first HQ16's and have always loved it plus their fantastic support. Since retired to SA 3 yrs ago I have Skyped them several times even tho my machine is about 10 years old. They always are helpful! And the machine has needed nothing and sews wonderfully. I do my own and charity quilts plus I let new 'quilt infectees' use it. I don't want to quilt for others but will happily let others use it with a little tutorial and they buy the thread. It is like an old Singer, unkillable and the software is pretty basic. Practice on those give away pieces and go forth and enjoy.
