I have a friend who bought the HQ Simply 16 recently. She likes it but you must baste it before quilting. She does smaller quilts and sprays bastes.
I have the orignal HQ 16 with poles that are in 3 pieces. I could make it smaller but have enough room to use all the poles. I would HATE having to baste before quilting.
I have 3 friends who have bought the Block Rocket and are very happy with this machine.
