Kathy,
Thanks for clarifying that it's not a stitch reg, but a speed reg. Big difference, in my book.

I have the Bailey Pro 15. It sits in it's own custom made table. I had it on a frame but due to Mr. Arthur Itus moving in and taking up residence in my lower back. My husband built my table for me.
Mr. Bailey said the stitch regulator is for use only with the machine that sits on a frame. So if you wanted his latest invention of the sewing table a Bailey can sit in you don't need it.

I absolutely love my machine, and you can't beat the quality of this machine. Nor the customer service, Mr. Bailey is so helpful with any question you ask.

I have a 17" Bailey with the regulator. I have no issues with the machine and it is a workhorse. It sits on a Majestic frame which does take up space but I love it. If you plan on doing ruler work go for the 17" because the lolipop base takes up some space. I like my Baily a lot.

I've looked at Bailey ads & went 2 their website but I couldnt tell if you can use it as a sit down-like a sweet 16. I am trying 2 quilt on mydomestic machine but would love 2 have the xtra throat space. I dont have a frame-just want a set-up like a normal sewing machine.

I have had the 17" Bailey for about three years and love it. The stitch regulator is not the best in the world...I still don't get perfectly sized stitches. I almost think if I had to do it again I wouldn't have spent the extra $$ on that. Developing even speed while free motion would do the trick. I love the machine because : 1. the price 2. it uses any thread I put on it 3. the customer service is awesome. 4. it does any size quilt. 5. the groups are wonderful....any problem can usually be solved ( and there are very few problems with mine.

And if you do decide you want the lollipop, I have a 17" for sale. Decided ruler work is not for me!
