I love my Fusion!! I had the HQ16 for 5 years and decided to upgrade. Glad I did!

Love your room! What is the difference between the HQ16 and Fusion and why did you upgrade? I'm looking into getting one.
thanks,

The HQ16 had a 16" throat so you were able to quilt a 12" block. The Fusion has a 24" throat so you have 20" of quilting space. I was able to sell my machine to a friend, so I decided that was a good time to upgrade. I was looking to move up from a 10' table to the 12' studio frame I now have. I absolutely love both machines. You just have to know what your needs are going to be.

What a great work space.

Great,Thanks for the info. Also, for me, budget is an issue. Of course, I want the best that I can afford right now, and maybe do what you did, and upgrade later. Thanks again.

There are lots of HQ16's for sale right now, used. We just came out with the 18" Avante and many are upgrading to that machine. You can check the Yahoo HQ16 group database if interested.

Wow, great, thanks for the info. I definitely will check out the yahoo group.

Lucky you! Enjoy it.

What do these machines cost, if I might ask?

Wow lucky you, I would never come out of that room. Only to eat of course.
