The Bailey Home Quilter

I received my 15" Bailey today. Love at first sight. I can tell already we are going to be a great team. Besides that, it was "doable" budget wise and not a major investment like the more expensive machines. It will accomplish what I need to, and that's the most important thing to me.

Pretty sure HQs are designed, manufactured and assembled in USA

If you are talking about the machines that are more than 12", made specifically for quilting--I think most & possibly all are made in the USA. It's too expensive to ship them--ask our Canadian members. I think the B-Line 18 is the only one made in Canada that they can easily & affordably get their hands on.

Hinterberg's Voyager & Indigo are made here, Nolting's Fun Quilter and all their other professional machines are made here, Gammill, A-1, APQS, Pennywinkle, KenQuilt, ABM Innova, Tin Lizzie, Homesteader, Wow quilter, Bailey quilter and probably several others.

If you're talking about the 9-12" machines that are currently on the market like the Janomes, Pfaff, Husqvarna, Babylock, Brother, Juki and Berninas--I don't know.

Also note that some of the above mentioned machines start life as something else and are "stretched" to give more quilting area. The original machine could have been a foreign made Toyota, Juki, Tacsew who knows what but after the lengthening process and re-skinning it--do you call it "American Made?" It is American "Re"Made.

The A-1 is made in Missouri. They currently have a 23", and just introduced a 32" machine. The Horizon is not yet available, but the prototype was just at it's first show. I'm hearing great things!

I'm pretty sure Nolting is made in the USA.
