I just ordered an HQ16 as well, but it's my 2nd one. I sold the first one when we decided to fulltime in our RV for a few years, so I'm simply replacing what I already know to be a great product. So... I 2nd the "try the HQ16" post!
Barbara, I can't help you with either of those brands, but I can tell you that I bought a HandiQuilter16 in May, and absolutely LOVE IT!! If you haven't tried one yet, you might want to, and check the price against the other two you are looking at.

After trying several machines, I've narrowed it down to two: The Tin Lizzie and the Voyager17/Hinterberg. The "Lizzie" is twice the price of the Voyager but I couldn't tell the difference during my test drives. In reading past messages, it seems the Voyager people really love their machines, yet stores that carry both tell me that the Tin Lizzie is a much better machine. Does that mean the Voyager isn't good? Does anyone have any feedback to help me decide?
