I have been using a Sweet16...decided I needed my own machine, so went to several shops to try different machines. I went to Modern Domestic in NE Portland...and wanted to bring home their new Q20! It was ordered and set up today --with 1on 1 time so I felt comfortable on my own! I have practiced on the Bernina longarm practice fabric for about three hours today. I feel so in charge and the machine is so responsive to my movements. It was a good choice for me!
