Mid arm - what questions to ask
#11
No, I think the only HQ16 is the sit down. It was replaced by the Avante which is 18 inches. You can get a frame to set up to either 8 feet, 10 feet or 12 feet. There is a frame that I don't think will set up at 10 feet. I have the HQ16 and LOVE IT!!! I am looking to upgrade my frame and wheels, but will stay with the 16 vs the Avante as I don't have the extra room:(
Last week I quilted a customers quilt 90 inches long with her 4.5 inch pantograph. 18 rows later, not one thread break, great tension throughout.

One tiny thing I'd like to bring up. When you ask about the stylus piece, verify that it comes equipped with a laser light. Sometimes the term "stylus piece" to a dealer means s stick or rod that lets you follow a printed pattern. If it's a laser light you are interested in, make it clear to the dealer.

We have many thousands of customers with the HQ16 machine and we will always support those customers. We have not discontinued the HQ 16 Stitch regulated machine. Thank you for your inquiry."
So, phew, nothing to worry about there! I know the Sweet 16 doesn't do everything I want it to do. And I have no plans of using the 16 in its sit down mode, but rather on the frame.
