Hi sarah! Last weekend I attended a quilt event put on by a local quilt guild. It had a bunch of vendors who all taught some type of class. Was an all day event, lots fun with prizes at the end. One of the vendors from Rockford Il. brought their HQ SS, it was a thrill to sew on! I met an attendee who owns one that I asked to sit down and demo for other quilters, she loves her SS and highly recommended it. Like most peeps I don't have room for a huge quilt frame but do have the the SS. Their price was $4395.00. I hope to buy one some day!
