Last week I got the chance to try the sweet 16 and it felt smooth and easy. I do not have space for a long arm. The machine and table is around $4500. Any comments are appreciated, good or bad. Thanks for your help. Olivia

Love the machine. I used it at a show in Lancaster. That is #1 on my wish list. Lucky you!

Same here. I have played with it 3 times now at shows and LOVE it. I even got the brochure and gave it to my hubby as my Christmas wish list :D

It's also on my wishlist....it will probably be a good long while before I actually buy one though (two girlies start college in 2 yrs and all extra is going to that for now)

I got to experience it at IQF 2009 and fell in love....Plus I like the fact that it is a sit down machine.

I just purchased one and I love it. I have no interest,space, or the body for a long arm. "Sweetie" is perfect for my needs and I am really happy with it. Get the extension tables though. I almost didn't and used it before DH had a chance to put them on. Did a quilt AFTER they were on and it sure was easier!

Hah, mine is called Sweetie too! Got mine in Nov. last year and love her to bits. I have replied to several of these threads, so perhaps you could do a search here on the board for them, and read all the comments.
