I am considering purchasing the HQ Avante and since it is their newest model, I was wondering from users how it is performing. I see several dealers are selling their floor models and wondering why. Has it been upgraded already?? Thanks for any input as this is financially a very serious purchase.

My Avante arrived just last week!
It has been very easy so far, a few tension issues and I need to test out different threads with different tensions but as a newbie to quilting and more especially a newbie to free motion machine quilting I cannot believe how easy and how satisfying the very early stages have been.
We are going to our dealer tomorrow for a few accessories so I will ask if she has heard if the machine is going to be upgraded or superceded by another machine. I do know she has an Avante in her store and uses it for teaching, rental and quilting so I cannot imagine there is any big change coming.
Good luck with your decision!!

I haven't heard about a new one coming out yet, other than a new sit down model. I do know that dealers trade off their demo models on a regular basis. They also sell demos that have been used at quilt shows and at market. I would just ask the dealers that you have seen selling theirs.
