Just completed my new quilt room and need to know what the min. tempurature should be. Would like to save same money and turn the temp. down at night. Tonight it will get down to 32 some times it's down to 20 in the Winter. I have the full frame set up with the HQ16.

When you use your machine, it should be at "room temperature" (60-70 degrees). If you let it get as cold as you are saying your room can get, it will take hours for the machine to warm up to "room temperature". It will not lubricate itself when it gets too cold. Even if you turn the heater on and get the room warm during the day, the machine will take much longer to warm up then the room does. I hope this helps.
