    I have friends who do and love their machines. It does just what a Statler Stitcher does only doesn't cost the amount of a medium sized house.

    I have the HQ16 with the newer bed and trolley system.

    There is an online HQ group. I got a lot of help from the HQ people at their site. They are great at answering any questions if you call them. I am sure there is a HQ Educator in your area. HQ can refer you.

    I have the HQ Avante - but no computer system - I do all my quilting free motion.

    hey Otis, I noticed that your Etsy shop signature link doesn't work right. You may have to change it around a little bit ;-)

    I have this set up also. Love it. Look at the HQ site and see if you can find a teaching rep in your area or call them for some help. They are great to work with.

    Thanks-I don't have anything listed right now. Will see about repairing the link.

    Default HQ Avante with Pro Stitch

    Hello,

    I am now considering the HQ Avante with Pro Stitch. How are you doing with the pro stitch since you have had it for a little while? Has it been helpful? Is it user friendly?

    I would so appreciate your input.

    Thanks

    I have the prostitcher on my HQ18 Avante and really like it. I am trying to learn FMQ better but do fall back onto the Pro 50% of the time. It was worth the money to me and I would not get rid of it. It does take time to learn all the ins and outs but it becomes easier the more you use it.
