I just came across this Quilting Board today, as I was searching for a place to sell some of my many quilting books. I have only been quilting for 3 years. Two of those years I worked in my gf's quilt shop. Unfortunaly due to the economy she had to close her shop. So I have ended up with an overwhelming amount of quilting items and realize I will never use them all. I am thinking about getting an HQ16 sitdown model so if anyone has one I would love to hear from you. Sorry this is so long. Looking forward to being a part of this group.

Hello, and welcome from Idaho! I can't help with the sitdown model, but I love my HQ!!!

Have you checked out Craig's List? Some folks find some neat things there.

Don't go alone to anyone's house. Meet in a public place, an opened store lot or cafe with lots of other people around.

Don't carry a lot of cash that can be seen, put it in an inside pocket.

Have someone go with you, the bigger he is the better. Someone who looks like a heavyweight pro wrestler would be nice.

Know your machines and give it a close look before buying.

Hello & welcome to the board. I live in Huber Heights Ohio. Sorry to hear about the QS closing. Our local QS has a HQ 16 sitdown demo and I got to play with it for a short time when I went to buy some gloves. It sews like a dream...but, I hate that I'd still have to baste the quilt sandwich. Still I liked the machine though.
