Hi I am picking up a used HQ Sixteen sitdown-not newest version of sweet sixteen- the end of this week-have been making payments for the last few months. Went to MQX east last week and there are rulers out there to use with this machine also,thread painting,multiple threads through one needle. Can't wait. HQ website has a forum and lists used machines for sale- there is a recent posting- also some shops have the floor models at a discount-There is a store in Pelham NH for 3995. Also Join Yahoo group Hq sitdown machines -good info on that site and maybe one for sale now and then.Good luck
