I currently have a HQ Amara. With the pro-stitcher software. I LOVE it. I have never had issues. I am still learning all the things it can do. I dont have to use it everyday, it’s in my home. I use it when i want. I am quietly discouraging anyone from asking to come over and use it. (It helps that i had been pretty sick in 2022 and was able to just say no!)
it was some $$ but not near the cost of the Innova. (I looked but the dollar scared me away.). I have no intention doing any quilting for hire, just want to quilt my quilts when i want to quilt my quilts! I took a class at a local shop and they always offer great deals on the machines at that time
Like someone already stated. It’s a personal choice. Dont let anyone convince you otherwise.
That is a reason i didnt tell anyone i got it at the beginning. I didn to want to hear how “so and so hates that brand and it is nothing but trouble”. I am a grown up. I will contact my dealer and call HQ if i have issues!.
Plus i enjoy watching AdamSewFun and his instructional videos are pretty great. He is an HQ ambassador. Which i did not know when i bought. I just thought he was very fun and his burrito method of loading the longarm is great!
