I have a HQ16. Got it used, otherwise doubt I would have gotten it. Added the ProStitcher when it first came out. I love it. Would love the Avante but ....
I have local HQ dealers. Though when I have had a question I usually just call HQ and they are great. When I got the updated bed and cradle they sent me pictures to help. My table is handmade so it isn't like having the HQ table.
