The BabyLock Tiara is made by Handi Quilter as is all of the BabyLock long arm quilting machines, ie: the Crown Jewel. The BabyLock Tiara is the Sweet 16. You can only buy a BabyLock from a retail location in person. If the dealer stays within the BabyLock guidelines to keep their BabyLock dealership, they will not list pricing online or give pricing out over the phone or via any other method than in-person at a retail location. You can however, get pricing and purchase a Handi Quilter over the phone or online.
On another note: if you are accustom to pushing your project thru and don't mind struggling with a large quilt, the Tiara or Sweet 16 will do fine. With a sit-down model, you are not driving the machine but driving the quilt. The upside, Handi Quilter introduced the True Stitcher (stitch regulator) earlier this year. It operates on wireless technology. Go to
