I just bought a used HQ16. "Harriet" runs very well and has a good stitch. She purrs when she is sewing on manual mode. But when I change the mode to regulated, she is like a chain saw. My DH came from another room to see what the noise was..he said it sounds like it needs oil.

Does anyone have this problem, or could offer suggestions. Tomorrow I will try to talk with HQ people and see what they can advise me to do to quiet her....

There is a HQ sit down and Tiara group that has a lot of useful information. I use Tiara I don"t notice a noise difference from manual to regulated. I'm sure it will be a easy fix.

When I took the Sweet 16 for a test drive, I was impressed with the machine.

However, when the TruStitch was operating, I found the noise to be outright annoying, and did not think I would like it. My thoughts were a lawnmower ... though a chain saw it could have been too! And honestly, I felt that I was getting good enough stitches without the TruStitch, that I would probably not purchase it.

I'm still lusting over the S16 ............

The only thing I had against it was that I couldn't justify the cost for the amount of time I would use it vs. the amount of time it would sit idle, while I was doing piecing. Perhaps someday my ship will come in ........ and I'll get it. In the meantime, I tune into everything I can about it, to stay in the loop!
