I bought a Baby Lock Tiara (same as Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen) and just didn't like it - for ME - and just had no motivation to use it. I really wanted the standup and had compromised because of the price of what I really wanted. Then I came across an HQ Avante on Craigslist for a tremendous price and didn't hesitate.
We decided to give our living room furniture to our soon for his new apartment and set up the longarm in the living room which in 20 years in the house, we'd used a handful of times.
My dream machine is an Innova 22" but for the price, I'll be happy with my Avante for a while.
Make yourself happy.
(Trying to sell the Tiara now...)
