Mary and her HQ Sixteen

I have been sewing for about 30 years and absolutely love to quilt. I tried hand quilting but couldn't do that because it took to much time. I was always taught to make do with what you have and not waste anything, so most of my quilts are from scraps. I have a really hard time buying yards of fabric and cutting them into small pieces to sew back together. It was simply a miracle that my husband found out about the HQ machines. He was in a car accident and was laid up at home for several months last year. He has always wanted to get me a quilting machine because I have so many tops that need quilted. He did the research on the internet and found out about a quilt shop in Maryville, Tn called Pappy's Quilting Place. We went and checked it out and fell in love with the Handi Quilters.
I now own the HQ sixteen and have quilted several of my quilts and a few for others. I make a lot of baby quilts for the young women at our church and around our area. I love being able to free motion quilt and put any design I choose on a quilt. It is so much fun and very relaxing to be able to create a quilt from start to finish and know that you did it all yourself.

I own the following HQ machines:
