just play with it and see how it feel to you.we had an HQ16 but sold it for an Innova.look the frame over.the frame that mounts on a table is not very sturdy-the pro frame is much better.have fun trying it out.we drove 5 hrs to the quilt expo to try them all -oh my what a fun day.I am not saying HQ is bad just that for us the Innova was a much better fit and industrial frame.
