I make art quilts using painted canvas layered with fabric/batting/canvas,etc--thick surfaces with different types of thread. I am looking into getting an innova/sweet 16 or Tiara.

Does anyone have experience w/the innova sit down?

I liked it when i tried it at a quilt conference, but there is no dealer w/i hours of where I live vs. there are local dealers for the sweet 16 or tiara.

How good it telephone support? is it sufficient? do you need to take it to be serviced?

I hear about alot of tension issues w/the sweet 16. i change the type of thread frequently. will this be a problem? is having a nearby local dealer necessary?

Is there any different between the babylock tiara and the HQ?
warranty differences?

I look forward to getting some recommendations!
Happy Holidays!
