Ha,ha,ha. Just found the same setup with machine on Craigslist for $1,750. Granted, it's a few years old. Good thing I talked myself out of this for now.

I bought a used HQ16 complete with frame for that price on Craigslist. I would never have wanted one that small.

If that's the Belmont dealer, I find them nothing but disagreeable and uppity. Customer service seems to be a foreign concept to them most of the time, especially if it means they have to admit error in some way.

I am definitely going to do some more research. Also, have emailed a good friend to see what her setup is. She offered once to have me try it out. She lives about 2 hours away and we both have busy schedules but hopefully we can find some time for a good visit and a little playing too.

Both of these machines have a 9 inch throat. Knowing this I couldn't spend 2500 for a similar setup! If you have the 2500 and could stretch it to even the 3000 mentioned before for a Baileys I would!

I have the Juki and a Grace frame and love it. It works for me now. Someday maybe a Bailey, but for now I love this setup.
