Does anyone know what the stitches per minute are on the HQ16? The new Fusion is 2200 and I wonder if it is going to be faster. Also I need the outside dimensions of the Fusion table. Ya know, it's gotta fit in my room. Connie

I have the HQ16 (4 yrs) and demo'd the Fusion in Atlanta. I would love to have the Fusion but space is also my problem. I went back last week to measure. They didn't have the full size Fusion table but said it was enough like to studio frame that I could use that for length (149"). Of course you would need more length to be able to get around one end. Width was 51" from the front of the frame to the back of the machine with the machine completely forward. You would have to add to that a distance for you to work (about 18") in the front and back, minimum. This exceeds my current space but I am trying to rearrange some things. That Fusion is an awesome machine.

Connie,
The HQ 16 stitches 1500 stitches per minute. The Fusion table is 12 feet long and in order for you to have a comfortable quilting area you need about 8-9 feet of space for the width of the table. Hope this helps.

Good luck,
