I think the Bailey is a good starter setup. You would hate to invest thousands of dollars in something and then find out you don't like to quilt or you're not getting your investment back (if going into business). If I like the quilting aspect of this "hobby" then I might consider something else, like the "Jewel". I've only been a piecer and not a quilter in the past. Stitch-in-the-Ditch on my home machine is as close as I've been to to actual quilting. I did a queen size "foldy stuff" and that about killed my arms. The quilt didn't even have batting but it was so heavy I really had a hard time with it. As long as I take excellent care of my presnet setup I think I can resell it to someone looking to get started with their own quilting if I decide to invest further into quilting.
