Longarm Quilting Machine in Fort Smith, Arkansas For Sale

I am selling my Handiquilter 16 Longarm setup. This includes the 12 foot table, computer and quilter; also a small amount of batting, all rulers, designs, bobbin winder. My machine is lightly used. The Handiquilter dealer (Lovelace Creations, Paris AR) for our area will take it down, set it up and train you on your new machine, this in included in the asking price. They are excellent dealers and know my machine from beginning to end.
My reason for selling is health reasons. When i first opened my business, i had hoped that i could last at least ten years. But, apparently that is not doable for me. I have changed the focus of my home business now from machine quilting to piecing quilts, baby clothes, aprons, and etc. Stuff that allows me to sit and not have to stand for extended periods.
This machine comes equipped with ProStitcher (computerized quilting designs or edge to edge pantographs) which allows you to do anything you want if you have the pattern for it. You can also disengage the computer and machine quilt the old fashioned way. You can set it up as a four foot table and do baby quilts and a little larger, or you can set it up to handle quilts up to 115 inches wide.
These machines are very hardy and have a throat space of 16 inches. My dealer can crank out one quilt per day on hers and the machines seem to handle anything thrown at them. Physically, i was unable to do that, so this machine is considered lightly used because i have only had it for three years.
Contact me for a time to come and see, ask questions and see it run. Or, if you prefer you can talk to the Handiquilter dealer herself in Paris about this machine; just email me for the particulars.
To buy this set (without rulers, extras and designs) new would cost you around $19,200...and i think that is with shipping. The shipping alone is around $400 the last time i checked.
