The optional rear handlebars and display enable you to quilt from the back of the HQ Simply Sixteen. This makes it possible to use pantographs and groovy boards for edge-to-edge quilting in conjunction with the optional laser light and groovy board stylus (The optional HQ Studio Frame is recommended for quilters who plan to work in this way).
The laser pin attaches to either the front or the back of the machine for following pantographs or separate design drawings.
