I did a search of this site and there were a few threads discussing this set-up but nothing recent, so now that you've had some time to use it, I have a few questions.

I've watched the video on loading/advancing the quilt on the little foot frame. To me it seems awkward and a pain to do. So, how difficult/easy is it? Are there problems doing it? Does it get easier over time?

I looked at this as a quilt show. You have to baste the quilt just like you would be using a DSM. I would hate that. For the same price you can usually find an HQ16 with a regular frame. Or you can purchase a different frame from HQ for that machine head. But it is much pricier.

I love my simply sixteen / little foot frame setup. Easy to use, takes up little space, stitch quality is beautiful, it has 2 regulator modes in addition to manual, and more...all at a great price. Bonus is that it can move to a large studio frame.

Loading quilt takes seconds, as does the advancing.

Some of my LA friends told me they liked this system better than their traditional LAs.
