I looked at the HQ16 - and really liked it. But when it came to the $$ I ended up with a used Voyager 17 which I really like and works fantastic.

Look at them all and go play on as many as you can. Good luck!!

Please advise, thanks for your help. :?

I just tried a Bably Lock Crown Jewel this weekend. I absolutely LOVED IT! It was so easy to use and flowed so effortlessly. It is alot of money, but not the 15-30 G's i've heard some have spent. I tend to mess-up machines like this :oops: I tried really hard to get this one to get stuck, break the thread, eat the fabric - couldn't do it! The salesman was really nice - he let me really give it a go.

I tried out the Baby Lock Crown Jewel last week - I found it to be really hard to move around - definitely not easy to make my quilting look decent, and I've been LA quilting on my Innova 18" for 2 years, so I kinda know what I'm doing. I was surprised to find that it was more expensive then the Innova as well. I guess having a smooth, easy-to-use machine has spoiled me completely!

My sister has a Gracie. I think she may want to sell it. Do you want me to ask her?

Here is a link to my dealer but prices don't vary too much between them. All around the same ballpark figure. Shipping will vary from place to place.
