Thread: Baily's Long Arm Quilting machine

Not too long ago there was a thread on LAQ machines. My DH and I are going to the factory to check out a machine and was wondering if you could give me some pointers on what to look for and what machine you have and why you love it?

there's not a lot of bells and whistles with a Bailey, I have a 15", no stitch regulator but I do okay, I did just get the extended base so I can use rulers and templates.

Thank you Kathy. I am so excited I could burst!

There is a Yahoo group you could join for Bailey owners and wantabes (like me). Very supportive and there's always someone there to answer questions before and after purchase. I'm green with envy ;-)

I Have the Bailey 15/ with no stitch regulator..may save up for it though....I do pretty good with pantos and have done ok with free mation work...I bought the lollipop for the bailey -extended base.. and the new feet they offer..cant wait to try out the new ruler foot..I bought me the boomerang templete to do wave cross hatching..:)

Thanks Hoppyfrog. Do you have the link to the Yahoo site?
DH has made travel plans for next week and appointment with the facory rep who we hear so much about. Will keep you posted.

Do a search for Yahoo Groups. There will be a search area to type in the name. It's baileyquiltingmachines. You'll have to join the group. It only takes a couple of minutes to do so the there's no cost to join. I found this group to have a wealth of info and very helpfull.

Thanks. I went into sign up but cancelled because I don't usually go into Yahoo to check messages. However, I was able to read the some of the comments and they reflect yours. So off to Bailys we go next week. Thanks for all your help :-)

You don't have to go to Yahoo to check your messages. It gives you an option to put your regular addy in. That's how I get my messages with my other groups.
