Questions for Handi Quilter Sweet 16 owners
My family is looking for gift ideas related to the HQ Sweet 16. Are there any accessories you feel are a must have. Right now I have the stitch regulator (and haven’t used it yet), and the bobbin winder, and lots of new Superior Thread. Are there any rulers, or templates you use a lot? And, are there some you consider a waste of money.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The best accessory I bought was the extension table for the left side of the machine. Yes, I know lots of people use a card table or ironing board but the extension table attaches firmly and doesn't move; I had trouble with a card table moving out of position. It gives you a lot of extra room and prevents pulling or tugging of the quilt. I feel the expense of the table was minimal.
I haven't used any rulers, have you? I'm interested to hear how you like them.

Extra bobbins, needles, a short straight ruler, circle ruler (made for LA), books for quilting ideas, extra supplies for layering up your quilt sandwiches, just to name a few. Enjoy your new Sweet 16.

Having trouble posting my reply... it's just been too long since I posted anything. Here's my 3rd try at posting.
Thank you JanRN and QuitNama for you suggestions. I have only had my machine since mid-April, and between work and extended visiting company I've only had a few days to practice and become familiar with it. My DH has already promised me the extension for my table. My kids and grandkids asked me what rulers, templates etc I want, so I thought I'd ask other more experienced owners for suggestions.
