I would like to clarify - Bailey home quilters are not long arms. They are considered to be mid-arm machines. There a few limitations but for the most part one can work around them once they learn how to operate the machine and handle the quilts on the frame. Bailey specifies it is a home quilter, made for home quilters. Most long arms are considered to be professional machines. And the price variation is apparent they are not the same.
I have a Bailey 13" and now Bailey is making the 15" and the 17" but still not the length of a long arm.
i have had mine for nearly 3 years and keep it busy.
Do your research before you buy any machine or frame. you will be glad you did.
