I got the Sweet 16 but test drove both models. The Lizzie seemed more clunky. I also didn't like that the power cord was on the front and imo too easy to knock off. When reading up on both machines, the customer support on the Lizzie got bad reviews. So I negotiated a good price for the Handiquilter. I ended up getting the TruStitch but probably wouldn't buy that again. The machine is easy enough to learn without.
