So glad you are able to split the cost three ways. What fun you all will have fighting over who gets to quilt next.

Congrats!! You will love it! Fun to be able to do it together with family~

You all will enjoy that. I bought one and my DILs and my sister come to use it. My DILs didn't sew until they married my sons. My husband says, "They took a look at all your toys and decided they wanted to play, too." They both love FMQ on the HQ.

Congratulations!

That will be such fun for all of you. Congratulations on your purchase.

You are so lucky. My Mom is gone and my one sister doesn't sew or talk to me. I wish I had more family. I have 3 daughters and a D-I-L, and none of them sew. They all look to me to make things for them and do any repairs or hems. Oh well, that is my lot in life I guess. I'll have to continue to rent a long arm and use my Janome machine to get the quilts done. Enough of my pity party, and I need to get off here and start sewing.

What is a HQ 18?

A mid arm. Usually on a rack.

To the OP, congratulations! I love my Innova LA.

You are so lucky. My mom, sister, and daughter do not sew. Wish I would have them to share quilting stories with and to split the cost of the machine! Lucky you! My friend has the HQ Avante and loves it. I'm sure you will, too. Have fun!

Congratulations!!!

Congrats!!! Enjoy!!!!
