Introduction

The HQ Little Foot frame can be set up to work with either the HQ Simply Sixteen™ (a 16-inch quilting 

machine) or the HQ Avanté® an 18-inch quilting machine). The frame enables you to use either stand-up 

quilting machine within a smaller footprint than the HQ Studio Frame, yet you can do quilts of any size.
