Congrats! Now that looks like something I could use with my space. Happy stitching.

I think we'll be very happy together!


I've done just a small practice piece so far, but have LOTS of projects to get going on!

I called them today to order one. I want to get the one in the table. I'm so excited... I can't stand it.

I looked at one...Still thinking on it.
I think one would be nice.

Very cool!

We tested the Sunshine 16 today at the Grand Rapids AQS show and was impressed. For someone like me that only does quilts for my family and charity, I think it would be perfect. Doesnt take up much room, and can be moved easily. The head weighs 35#, and if you get the take-along plexi table, it can go with you. The price is reasonable for the home quilter. I have two friends interested in this.

I checked it out online and it looks wonderful!
Congrats to you! :)

Oh nice work. You will have fun now.

I'll be looking for this company at the Road2CA show in Jan. I like to see things work in person. BUT it looks like a nice machine. I would love a better way to Free Motion, but would never spend the cash for a LA.

Wonderful. I am thrilled for you. You are surely doing well on it. Great quilting.

It is from the Penniwinkle Farm. go to the website in one of the above posts. There was a lady in the Fargo ND area who was selling the long frame. I don't have room yet.

Congratulations on your machine! I came close to driving out to see this one before getting my Lizzie but I didn't like their table options. I know.. that was petty of me. I did love that the Sunshine was pretty portable. That could have been really cool. I could have taken it to sewing days with my guild!

I know you're going to love your machine!

Great machine! Your test piece looks great!

Debbie B 11-16-2013 03:15 PM

Never heard of the Sunshine 16 before. It looks like a very sturdy machine. You will have to post a picture of your first quilt & tell us how you like it. Congratulations!
