I first bought a stand alone frame (B-Line) for my DM, only did one baby quilt on that, then it sat for a year. I have never paid to have a qullt quilted. I was asked to do show, hang 12 quilts for a month. Was at a quilt show, saw the HQ16 and the seperate bobbin winders, (that was the selling point LOL). New there was no other way I was going to have any quilts ready to hang so went with it. Transered balance from one 0 % card to another for 2 years until it was paid for. I have recouped that and more since (3 years). I put the HQ on the B-LINE frame and this year hope to upgrade to a new frame and new wheels.
