I an seriously thinking of buying one. It will be tight but I think that With careful budgeting we can squeeze it in as my birthday/anniversary/Christmas present for the nex ten years. I am thinking about 17" but do not know which frame. If you own Grace please give me some advice - pinnacle, majestic or king. I am lost!

I would also like to know how you use it as a sit down quilter.. I have been thinking about getting a machine, but have to save up some money first.

He is really nice and informative. The only issue I have every had with my machine was operator error. I had the bobbin in wrong, the ring holding the bobbin case was not seated proberly. After checking a video on the internet I got it right and no problems since. It makes a beautiful stich.

I have a Bailey and I love it. I did have a problem with my sew control and Chuck just sent a new one out and the shipping label to return the old one ,back no cost to me at all. The machine is a no frill machine, just a good solid made in the USA product.Most of the trouble I have is operator ( mis-thread and bobbin to loose I use a different machine to wind bobbin ect.) caused. There is one little black tube that holds the thread in ,that could be improved on.Also ,there is a learning curve to using a LA. I liked mine machine so much My sister bought one.

I love my Bailey. I stopped at their shop and Chuck showed me the machines and let me try one out. It was great, and so was he. I bought my machine a year or so later and I have been very happy with it. Good price, nice stitch and I know there is great customer service if I need it. Win-win!
