I just bought the Q24 and it was installed this past week. I have had training on it and it is fabulous--so easy to use and move. I went right into making feathers and it was a lark. I have a Bernina 880 so the move to Q24 is easy. I bought the pantograph kit and they installed it. It also has a stylus for using pattern boards--I have to explore that but did buy some pantograph patterns. I am now looking to buy the Qmatic when it is released. More to come--haven't had a chance to use my new machine but I have observed a handiquilter and there is no comparison. Threading the machine and winding the bobbin is a piece of cake. i did not want a Q20 as you still have to guide the fabric with your hands and pin your layers together. Loading the Q24 is much simpler and less backbreaking than the Handiquilter.

I am seriously considering this machine as I am a diehard Bernina fan but wondered how sturdy the frame is ..... I know the original frame Bernina brought out was flimsy so ... Also heard a few rumblings about the frame

I absolutely love my Bernina Q24. The stitch quality is beautiful.

I can find no fault with the Q24. Prior to purchase I researched the competitors in detail from a mechanical and automation standpoint. To me the Q-Matic integration is superior. Love Bernina's stitch regulation system (BSR) compared to the competition. Art & Stitch is very robust design software, whereas one can easily transfer designs back and forth between it and Q-Matic.
