This machine is a huge disappointment. The website tells you you can quilt 16 or 12 inch squares but you can’t. I have successfully used a 10 inch pantograph but the 11 inch pants doesn’t work once’s you get 2/3rds down the quilt.
The glide foot also doesn’t work. I ignored the height ruler and had it as high as it would go and it still got caught on thicker parts of the quilt. That doesn’t work when majority of my quilts are tshirt quilts.
I won’t even get into the issues with the frame.
This was a $6k mistake.
I really enjoy my 16x Elite! The manual is easy to read and understand, with nice, large pictures. The machine has been relatively easy to use. I have had it just about a month and already completed four quilt tops! It's significantly better than trying to quilt on a domestic machine. I wish I had taken the plunge and purchased this sooner.
