Hi Sharon, sorry I dont have this machine but hopefully someone will know something about them to help you. Some of the members are currently away on a retreat, so you might not get an answer for a few more days.

Just got on line and checked this machine out and I really like it. It seems like a very reasonable price to me. I would check out their warranty and any reviews they have from others who have bought them. That always tells me a lot...... the reviews.
I did show my hubby and even told him the price! The HQ16 I want is anywhere from $8,000 - 10,000! And aren't all Long Arm quilters about the same anyway?

Haven't had time to check this out yet but I will. Memaw is right, look for and read reviews, but take them with a grain of salt. People who don't pick up on the mechanics of doing something easily are quick to blame the machine instead of allowing for a reasonable learning time.
And no Memaw, not all long arms are created equal.

Oops! I knew TxMary would see that one Sharon! Now I'm in trouble....... do I laugh or cry?
I guess I was meaning that they're all a form of sewing machine that you sew with. But I agree you need to COMPARE each one, then make your decision just like you would any other machine you'd be buying.
Am I forgiven TxMary?

Of course.
The name of this machine rang a bell and I found it in another thread. Sharon you can go read what was said over here
LAs are not all the same by any means. Lots of sour notes among my guild sisters on this point. The guild owns a used factory reconditioned Gemmill and loves it.
DH has examined a large number of mid-arms and LAs and concluded that many are not worth buying.
Now I'm in trouble....... do I laugh or 
cry?
