I got a Sweet Sixteen and loved it, but then decided I wanted a stand up to just put some pantos on. So the husband came home and announced he bought me an Avante. 3 months later I added the Pro-Stitcher. Now I'm really quilting up a storm. Have been very happy with HQ, but like the others I would go to a show where you can try them all. They've come out with a new machine - the Infinity... the husband said wear this one out and I can have that one. It's all a very slippery slope. LOL.
