You are probably going to be too busy playing with your new machine to post pictures! Have fun, don't be afraid to try new thing out with it.

You are going to love it. I got mine about 4 months ago. The biggest curve is learning about the top and bobbin tension. I love the Handi Quilter forum and suggest you join this group. They offer a wealth of knowledge and you will find it very helpful.

I watched the HQ video thread,needle, tension. It is EXCELLANT and very helpful. Also the oil and maintence video

Thanks everyone for the good wishes. I have really been having fun. Got the tension thing pretty much down pat, now.
will post soon as I can figure out how to do it on my ipad

Nanacc - I just saw your post, sorry! The quilt top in its current state (which is, unfinished!) is 50" x 50". I took an online class with Ami Simms called String Star, and this is the result. I'm hoping to get it sandwiched and quilted real soon!

You are going to love it! I have the Tiara sit-down machine, which is the Baby Lock version of the Sweet Sixteen. I've had mine since November and it is just too much fun! Betty

So tell us how it is going! I got my Sweet 16 in August and am just now finding time to learn it. Was there a huge learning curve on the tension for you?? I'm having a little trouble with snags, but then it is only my 3rd day of playing with it. I've made numerous test sandwiches and am trying to work up the nerve to put a quilt under it. I have fmq experience, but this is a whole new ballgame! Judy
