3. If you don’t mind answering, what made you decide to change from HQ to a Q’Nique?
4. Now that you’ve had some time on both machines, which do you prefer and why?
I'm an Innova owner, so I haven't tried to give advice on Q-'Nique vs HandiQuilter. But I can tell you from experience that machines at shows are not always set up that well. The vibration you felt could just be due to something not being tightened or level.
