Was there a big learning curve for you when you got yours?
I drooled over the HQ16 for 10 years, decided to get one when the Avante came out, so upgraded to it. No learning curve really, My rep came and set it up, gave me over 4 hours of instruction and how to use, and off I went. Have done 5 quilts, all freehand, loading the quilts is easy, if I can do it anyone can. Very smooth, easy to maintain, I would recommend to anyone who would like a mid arm at a great price.
