HQ Fusion
This is Handi Quilter's newest machine and it is taking the market by storm! It boasts 24 inches of quilting space, and an ultra modern control panel that even lets you set the warmth of the lighting for your quilts! It even has a built in music player for grooving to the tunes while your stitching away! It also has a cast metal frame so there is less flexing when sewing over thick seams than the aluminum frames of some of the other competitors. Even 
though it is quite a bit larger than the HQ16, it actually moves easier, thanks to a new, 12 bearing, rail system! I just sold one to a lady who tried all the makes and models at the Duluth Quilt show, and she with her professional quilter friend, both agreed that this machine was the easiest one to maneuver around while stitching.
Want to RENT our machine for a while?
We are renting our HQ Avante' for use at our store! To start using it, you must take a training class which is free. During that class you will be able to quilt for 5 - 10 minutes to get the "feel" of the machine. If after that class you decide that you would like to start renting it, we will sell you a kit with your own leader cloths, bobbins, Training DVD, and two spools of thread to get started. Then you simply place a request for a certain day, and your ready to go!

The rental rate is $18 per hour. We also have a punch card that is available for purchase, where you buy nine hours get the tenth one free.
