I have had my HQ for almost three years and I love it. If you could lower the table to a height useable from your wheelchair you could probably handle it but you would have to be able to move from the front to the back with ease to do things that I can just reach over to do. This would be a little more trouble but still doable. With the zip on leaders that are available you could do much of the loading from the chair and then just velcro the quilt to the poles where I now stand and pin the quilt on sometimes.

HQ makes the same machine to be used sitting at a table instead of on the frame. It would be used much like free motion quilting on a regular machine but with the extra space available. Had you considered this?
