I'm looking at the HQ Avante, the HQ sweet sixteen (with table and frame), or a sit down machine by Babylock called the Tiara. Does anyone have an opinion. I would just jump right in and get the Avante, except for the cost
($10,000). The HQ 16 and the Tiara are about $5000. I want to quilt my own quilts, but would also let my friends do their own. I do not want to start a business. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your input,
