I just joined today. I have a Grace frame and have been using my Janome 1600P. I am finding the throat to be too small. I have a little sewing business, using lots of embroidery. I have a Brother PR620. I need to come up with a machine to use on the Grace that quilts well and has the bigger throat (I'm thinking about 16-18".) I'd like to stay under $2000. I read about the Bailey 17 today. It sounds good. Does anyone have a better suggestion? Has anyone used the Grace with the Bailey? or something else? Thanks for the help! I've just retired from teaching (OH--I will miss it!) so need to add to my sewing fun so that I don't cry when the busses roll in Aug! Thanks
