Bailey machines are often paired with Grace quilting frames designed for machine quilting.,
It is not designed for sit down and push through quilting.
An Industrial machine might fill the bill for you, if you want to have the struggle of
pushing the quilt through the arm of the machine. Personally, as I have gotten older I am so glad
I bought the Bailey....it is so easy to load the frame and quilt the quilt.
Get more information before you decide. Personally;, I would not want any of my quilts
NEAR that machine you showed on the link. It might be a good machine for some things,
but for me, NOT for quilting.

LOL, I'm sure I can clean it up!

I know I don't want a machine with a frame. I don't quite understand what you mean about "if you want to have the struggle"... That's why I want a machine with a larger throat than 6.5 inches.....

I was thinking new industrial for around $500 vs. new quilting machine for $1500 for the same features.
