Congratulations on retirement ( starting my sixth year with no regrets ) and your new machine. My best quilting buddy and I just purchased a HQ Avante with Pro Stitch. We are so excited. Only drawback is she lives 1 1/2 hours away and we had it set up in her basement. So I will go there probably on Wednesdays and stay a few days. I have a Janome 1600P w new stitch regulator and Grace frame to sell now. She has a similar setup with a Pfaff. Look forward to seeing your finished quilts
