I have the 15" Bailey on a Gracie II frame. I knew not to try out all the machines. I only looked at ones I knew I could afford without going into debt. Why look at a Hummer when I can only afford a Jeep. I ditto what June says about Chuck. I had a problem with my SewControl, he sent me a replacement with a return postage to send the other one back. I haven't had the opportunity to do much quilting, but what I've done so far has been great. If I were quilting for a living, no this is probably not what you want but to quilt for pleasure and make a little change from time to time you can't beat the Bailey and the investment.
As June said there is a yahoo group just about the Bailey. There are discussions on ways to modify your machine to meet your needs, pictures of quilts that have been quilted with the Baileys, a very good support group. I am in central Okla and if anyone is near they are welcome to come take a test drive on mine. In fact a lady not 35 miles from me found me on the support group and is coming one weekend to look at our setup. Her husband is excited because where I live we have a great onion burger place. He wants to come for the burgers. Again you can't beat the Bailey and the investment.
Mr Bailey made it possible for us "poor folk" to afford a mid-arm with a decent throat depth.
