I was considering a Nolting, but ended up ordering a Bailey. I was able to get their "top of the line" package for half the price of the Nolting set up. I am only going to be doing my own quilting except maybe an occasional quilt for a friend or family member. I did lots of research and it seems that Bailey has a good name, and they have good support. I would love to hear from those of you who have Bailey machines. I think his first name will be BILL......since he's a Bailey!
