Back in March I finally found a used HQSweet16 at a price I could afford (after several years of looking). It came home with me and even though three of my domestic machines are excellent FMQers, they don’t have the huge throat that the Sweet16 has and it handles every specialty thread I’ve thrown at it with ease. It has made my quilting life much easier when it comes to larger quilts, thicker sandwiches and all the odd things I’ve thrown at it. That’s my most recent upgrade and very glad I did it. Also glad I did lots of research at quilt shows to see what was available and what I liked and then was patient about waiting until a used one that fit my budget came available.
