Lez did a lot of her quilting on her HQ Sixteen free motion sewing machine. It is time to let it go to a new quilter's home.

This machine travelled with us all over western Canada during our Roads Less Gravelled adventures from 2020 to 2024. As a result, the corners of the table need a little TLC and the Ott Light post needs some work also.

Otherwise, this collection is in very good condition. There are 4,586,498 stitches registered on the mid-arm's "odometer" (apparently quite low according to my sources).

I honestly don't know what price to ask for this collection. It comes with the mid-arm machine, the collapsible table with insert for the machine, the foot pedal, the electric thread spooler, the Ott light and a tray of machine attachments.

New machines of this type, with table, are priced at anywhere from $ 6,000 to $ 10,000 new. There are not many in stock; apparently they have been affected by the US tariff changes.

There are not many used ones available; quilters don't give them up unless they can no longer quilt. I found one available on the prairies for $ 5,000 with the Ott light attached directly to the mid-arm and no damage on the corners of the table.

All being said I still don't know what to ask for this.
