Not a stupid question. You can't use it to piece as there are no feed dogs, but what I think what you are looking for is a sit down quilter. Basically it's a mid-arm machine set in a table. You would use it like your domestic machine to free motion quilt, so the quilt moves, not the machine. Don't know if Bailey has a sit down table or not. Do a search on sit down quilters. There are lots of posts about this.
