    I viewed the machine at Perth Craft Show and think it is ideal for a home quilter

    Bought my HQSweet 16 sit down quilting machine 6 years ago, still enjoying the flexibility of moving the quilt about and all the wonderfull free motion patterns done on each quilt. Have done over 12 million stitches, that is a lot of quilts.
    This sit down quilting machine takes up same space as a sewing machine in a cabinet. Had been quilting on a domestic sewing machine and when HQ brought out a sit down long arm this was something that would make my quilting easier, more throat space and being able to move the quilt around easier. Lots of pleasurable fun and great quilting therapy.

    I don’t do a lot of quilting as I am still a little shy of it! Yes, practise, practise, practice and it’s true!
    Once I get into the zone, I love it!!

    Love my HQ Sweet 16 which I bought 8 years ago, as I couldn’t justify having someone else finish my quilts. Decided to learn how to do my own Freemotion quilting and know I had fully completed my quilts.
    Have done over 14 million stitches and love the challenge of how the next quilt is completed.
    Has made quilting so much faster and easier.

    I need a front handlebar kit
    Had to put the machine on a frame due to illness and unable to move my large quilts in the table. Help please

    • Letitia Moore

      Hello Carol
      There is no handlebar kit available for the Sweet 16. There are a couple of reasons why. There is no electronic components inside the Sweet 16 to connect with the buttons on the handlebars to drive the machine. Also the Sweet 16 requires the foot control to turn on and off the stitching. There are some ladies that have had their husbands retro fit homemade handlebars with some sort of clamp system for the foot control. However anything like this will automatically void the HQ warranty.
      Please feel free to contact me if you have any further queries.
      Regards
      Letitia
