I have a simply sixteen handi quilter and have had it for two years and really liked it . Just recently tried the Bernia Q20 and it and it glides so much smoother than my simply sixteen. I was quoted a good trade in price for my simply sixteen and a great price on the bernia. I took two sewing machines in for service and tried the Bernia Long arm and was sold. I have 440 bernia quilter sit down sewing machine and really like it but would like the bernialong arm with the 9foot table. They are giving me almost what I paid for on the Simply 16 toward the Bernia long arm. So I am considering it. The store is not far from my home and they will come and dis-assemble and pick up the Simply 16 and assemble the Bernia free. Its swiss made and that is important. Have never had a problem with my 440 machine.
This store prices are great.
