Handi Quilter Sweet 16 convert to long arm ?
Has anyone converted their handi quilter sweet 16 sit-down to a long-arm set up? Were you happy with this set-up? I appreciate any comments. Thanks!

I had thought to do that also but the price I got was $5000 to convert to standup! Hard to make a decision on which way to go! Right now I can't seem to get a smooth quilting look. I have the stitch regulator & everything else I could buy to help but still not satisified with how I'm doing. I have tried the standup & it is so much smoother looking than the sitdown! I hesitate to spend that much because of my age but that's just an excuse to not do it. At this point I am still practicing & hoping to get better! Good luck!

That would mean $10,000 or so for the long-arm set-up. Which is about what some long-arm set-ups cost. I have nothing yet (just my Bernina 153QE) - but had thought if I got the Sweet 16, I could then upgrade to a long-arm later. Wonder if the difference in the smoothness is the basting vs the quilt laying on the frame? Thanks for the info.
