I bought a gently used Handi Quilter when the former owner upgraded. I love it! I had my own table made to accommodate the space I have. I did end up getting the computerized portion on sale.
The HQ folks are great. They are always available for any questions I might have. One friend called them to help her troubleshoot her machine instead of having a service charge.
Now, what I want is a 'real' house with room for my HQ to be fully extended. I live in a nice townhome but the only place to fully extend the HQ is the garage. In Arizona, that would mean heating and a.c. to the area. It would be easier to find another home.
I do dream a lot.
