I bought a sweet 16 with sit down table..I was having a terrible time getting my fabric to slide.....I remembered when my add on table for my sewing machine(when used as a portable) was hard to slide the fabric when sewing, someone told me to use spray furniture polish on it...It worked! Also worked on my sweet 16 table.

I have only recently put two large silicone oven liners on mine - they work just the same as a Supreme Slider, but are a lot cheaper. The only difference is that they aren't sticky backed, so I just used sticky parcel tape to fix them to my table.

It is a Handi Quilter mid arm but a sit down model...With a 16" throat. You move the fabric when sewing. It came with a table to fit the machine.

Just looking at a Sweet 16 this past week at the shop. Loved it, but not sure I can justify the price for it.

Just finished a 100" x100" cat quilt....Quilted 12 cat faces, 36 mice and shadow quilted 13 applique cats....the more I did the better I got..The mice were only 2" x 2".
The things I don't like about it are...It has a round needle so hard to put in place and you need to oil it everyday. Other than that I like it. Easy to use. If I remember right I paid around $4,000. for it and the table. There is no stitch regulator with it but not too hard to learn speed and control for even stitches. Lighting is good although I do have an ott like beside it. It also came with its own bobbin winder. It takes a "M" bobbin
