I have older Hq 16 with portable Pro table machine is OK but really think frame poles and plastic tracks cause problems & make quilting more difficult would like to get a better frame but stitch regulator would no t work on other tracks Avante their New machine is smooth & quiet Great track system, but frame only sets up at 8 or 12 ft,make sure you have room to set up your frame and top get around it easily.There are good buys on the 16 as many are upgrading to the bigger machines
