I bought a Bailey 13 quilting machine!!!
Thanks to those who responded to my question about what machine to buy. As soon as I saw the Bailey 13 I knew it was perfect for my needs! I have never spent that much money on something just for my pleasure!
It will be shipped from New York, so I will get it in about a week! That will give me time to finish up some sewing I need to do, cause I know once I get it here I will have to get aquainted with my present to myself. I am a happy camper!! |
How exciting! Looking forward to hearing about your new adventures!
|
How fantastic - congratulation!! Can not wait to see all your new projects.
|
Way to go, Ditter! A Christmas present just for you!
Have fun with it!!! :) |
There's a Bailey group at yahoo, you might wish to join. Lot's of good info there, and you can ask questions too.
So if you encounter any problems at all, you can post about them and get answers.... Congrats! I'm still getting used to my 15. Don't have the room to set up my frame all the time. I have four quilt tops ready to do, but think I'm going to wait until after the Holidays are behind us, and things slow down some. Have fun with your Bailey! |
Congratulations, what an exciting time for you. You'll have to post a picture so we can see.:thumbup:
|
Congratulation, Have a great time with your new machine! Enjoy!
|
congrats, Ditter. you've chosen a great machine :thumbup:
|
Do tell us how you like it after you receive it. I'm looking into that one also and would value your opinion.
|
I'm so excited for you. Can't wait for you to get your machine and use it!
|
Good for you. I'm sure you deserve to treat yourself. You will have a very good time getting to know your new machine.

Yay - way to go Ditter :) Enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy!!!
|
congrats-you will have fun learning to quilt
|
Thanks for all your responses. One thing I forgot to mention. Bailey is an American made machine. I am all for buying products made in America.

Ditter 43, Tried to PM you but your mailbox is FULL! You need to delete some messages or no can can send you mail anymore. Just an FYI. There is a box limit of 500 now.
Congratulations on your new Bailey! You should be able to quilt about a 9" depth of fabric with each pass. Make yourself a quilt sandwich with a couple yards of ugly or low quality fabric and a piece of batting in between. Once you've filled the sandwich with stitches just change thread colors and practice again and again. The other piece of advice that I can give you is to **remember to put your presser foot down before sewing**. LOL, that's the number one problem most newbies encounter. Just wanted to pass it on. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I also second joining the Yahoo Group for "Baileyquiltingmachines". |
I,m sure you will love it. I live about an hour away from where they are made and went to see the Baileys.
They look like a great machine and are on my wish list. Congratulations. |
Congratulations! Hope you show us some pictures.
|
Congrats! You two will be very happy together!! Can't wait to see photos!
|
Congrats on you new machine! I'm an owner of a Bailey 15. If you need any help theres a yahoo group that is very informational. Theres also a few youtube videos that you might want to watch.
|
Congrats! This looks like one awesome machine. Just don't get so involved with it that you forget us. I love reading your posts. You always make me smile.
|
Congratulations Ditter! I'm so happy for you (and a little jealous too, lol). Enjoy your new machine and Merry Christmas!!
|
oh super congrats!! wishing you many many happy hours of fun with it! :-)
|
Enjoy your new toy!
|
How exciting for you enjoy your new toy
|
That is so great. When I have a bigger space and the money, a Bailey will be what I get.
|
How exciting!!!!!!!!
|
Congratulations! I purchased the Bailey 15" in August and I love it! If you have any problems, the Bailey yahoo site is a great information site. Have fun!!
|
Enjoy your new machine.
|
Good for you!!! I love to buy my own gifts, I always get exactly what I want. Enjoy !!!!
|
Oh, how fun! You're going to have a wonderful time with this new toy - terrific! :)
|
Congratulations.....I bought that exact same machine 4 years ago ...at age 74 and hope to use it until I can no longer sew....which should be when I am 100. My Dad lived to be 102. So I expect to get a lot of use out of my Bailey.

As we say in Alabama I am so proud for you! Happy adventures!
|
My husband and I spend some time in Homosassa traveling by RV. As a matter of fact, we just got back to NC the week of Thanksgiving (so I could cook for the family and friends). It looks like we may go back in January if we don't get snowed in. I'm a new quilter so don't know anything about a quilting machine. Hope you enjoy your newly purchased Christmas present.
|
How wonderful for you. I feel greedy though - does this mean you'll be so busy sewing and playing with Bailey that we won't get many chuckles to brighten our mornings?
|
Have fun with your new toy. That is the machine that I am currently looking into.
|
Congrats - I just looked at the site and they really have some good deals.
|
what is the Bailey....a sit down or longarm? do they have a website? just curious?
