I own the HQ16 and have had mine for about 5 years. My frame is 12 foot so I can do king sized quilts. It is easy to quilt on and do quilts for myself as well as for others. I have to say the my machine has been a work horse and any questions their customer service have been able to answer right away. It's important to test drive the machine you are thinking of getting as what is good for me, may not be for you. I would not hesitate to get another HQ as it has been really great for me. I average 1 to 2 quilts a week on my HQ.
