I got my new to me HQ 16 assembled today!
I had hoped to have the room where I planned to set up my new to me Handiquilter 16, painted and with new floors, but well life happened.
So today, when I realised it would be at least another month before I could possibly do flooring and painting, I decided to set up Diana. I bought her from a lady named Diane, and named her Diana.
Eventually I will buy Red Snappers or the Leader thingies, but for now I have to find a bunch of corsage pins. I am hoping Walmart has them, or I will ask the florist to order some in for me.
At this point I am pooped, but happy.
I will try to post a photo later.

Buy a bolt of muslin with a coupon from Joanns. Use it for your top and backing and play plus challenge yourself to do feathers, go in and out of drawn on block designs so you don't get stuck in a corner.
Btw, I have a Gammil and use the corsage pins as they don't bend as easily. You can get them online.

JoAnn's also sells the floral pins (look by the cake decorations and wedding stuff). I even "split" the package with another woman who said she didn't need the whole bag! Worked out great! Congratulations on your new machine! Enjoy!
