Hello fellow quilters,

I have an HQ16, one of the first models and my hopping foot is rather "thick." I notice on the Fusion it is flatter and visability is better. Any chance my foot can be replaced?

Thanks,
Lil from Napa CA

It is possible to change the hopping foot, but it would take some internal changes as well. You could order a hopping foot and have your local rep replace it, or have them order the hopping foot.

Thank you Kathi. Can you estimate the price of a new hopping foot? What would I ask for to order one? What would need to be done internally? I don't want to morph my machine, just would like to be able to see a little better.

Thanks,
Lillian
