The Simply 16 is a stand up, small table mount setup. It's quite neat how it works and you don't need the room of a big long arm frame.
it is NOT the same machine as the Sweet 16 - and it comes with the table, brand new for around $6,000. http://www.handiquilter.com/hq_simply_sixteen/ It is a new addition to the HQ line up- and it's got some of the new features that HQ has added. I bought my Fusion right before HQ added most of them. |
Be sure to take a mini sandwich (practice quilt) on which to practice on.

I love my HandiQuilter Avante. Handiquilter products are great and have a good reputation.

I have a HQ 16 which is one of the first of their 16s. I bought it used about 2 years ago, bought it for $5,000. came with 10ft table set up, stitch regulator and other stuff. Handles on both sides and I love, love it..

Very interesting! Looks like you have to baste the layers together before you load it on the frame.
There are a lot of used HQ 16's out there for sale. You could probably get a used one for less than $4,000. But the newer table and carriage are so nice. |
I bought a used HQ16 also with prostitcher about three years ago. Love, love, love it!!!

DH has said that he will take me Monday to look at it but I wanted some first hand information before I went. or if you have any problems with it? Looking forward to some answers! |
I have a HQ16. I got the ProStitcher when they first came out. Then when I moved my studio I got the newer bed & carriage trolley for the HQ16.
I had thought about the newer HQ's but I really don't have that big a reach anyway. The 16 fits me just right. |
My LQS sells Sweet 16 and the people that are buying them are thrilled with them. Our shop owner is fantastic about helping with set up, instructions on how to use, etc. she never stops helping which would be what I would need if I decide to "bite that bullet".
