It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the greatest either. for the most part it worked. And it was about 3 years ago so they could have upgraded or changed pieces/parts of it.
The biggest issue is with the sewing area, it became clear early on that I wanted more room to work while quilting, (of course this has a lot to do with the machine as well that you put on the frame) You loose a lot with the rails,
Yet again it depends on how many quilts, what you quilt, whether it is free motion, or set designs.
I have the HQ sixteen at the moment and would love something a bit faster and at least 24" throat.
