If I had the choice, this would be it bailey 13.
If I wanted to sew clothing and quilting and have an all around machine I'd buy the 7700. If I wanted to become proficient at FMQ I would buy a dedicated machine - the Bailey.
Are you going to put it on a frame? If so, I would go with the Bailey.
Personally, I would definitely go for the Bailey.
Bailey ... Test drive it first though. You will love a bailey on a frame. A high end janome on a frame ... You are paying for features not needed for fmq. Right now i am using a viking sapphire on a frame, and longing for a straight stitch only with large throat to use instead.
bailey, you can have a smaller machine for piecing
I agree with Dolphyngyrl.
What kind of frame do you use your Sapphire on? Curious as I have a Sapphire too. Not that I have room for it now, but hope to one day.Originally Posted by 1000projects
I don;t have room for a frame now maybe someday,I could use bailey on a table couldn;t I .
