Kelly, thank you for such a great instructional video on how to use the Moxie. I view it often as well as use the online instruction manual to help me navigate through my new free motion journey! I just finished my first large quilt made of beautiful blue, purple and teal batiks. I used it as a practice quilt of every stitch I wanted to learn and get more comfortable with. The and backing and front are "sew" busy you can hardly see my mistakes! Oh well, I'm gifting it so I won't have to see it ever to critique it again....thanks for your help. Looking forward to more in the future from HQ!

That was THE BEST demo I have ever seen on HQ equipment!!!! Very concise in detail. I have 2 original HQ16's and a Sweet 16.....have been considering the purchase of the latest NEW HQ16 and selling all three. I purchased the first HQ16 in South Texas and spent my first year on the phone with HQ as there was no support for HQ's back then. After seeing this demo, I am seriously considering the Moxie as a replacement for the older machines. I mainly do QOVF quilts nowadays, and with my approaching 80th birthday, am finally able to concentrate on the quilting projects I love most! Now all I have to do is FIND a dealer with the MOXEY somewhere halfway near the Houston area!!!! So far, no one has it. Thanks again for the helpful video. Linda S.

HI Kim - It's not something that can be taken down to be stored easily, but, you can add casters to push it against the wall. You can see how big the footprint of the machine is here: handiquilter.com/moxie/
