You did great. What fun to be able to use a machine you have and learn to love it.

I was the same way when I first got my LA. Scared silly of it and why is beyond me. So glad you are making friends with your Bailey. Quilting is so much fun!

You will love your Bailey with more practice and will be happy you didn't get rid of it. Have fun with you machine...

The Bailey videos can be found on YouTube. Here is the link to the one about maintaining the bobbin area http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdUpNE5wxoQ Debbie has several videos on YouTube.
I have had a Bailey for years and I love it.

The Baileys are reasonably priced. They have some specials on classroom models through their website. You can also pick them up used through the yahoogroup. Here is the one that I have - the 15 http://www.baileyssewingcenter.com/bahoqupro15.html The price depends on what kind of frame you have. I had purchased the frame first then got a machine to put it on. In hindsight, a package deal would have been a much better route to take but it's all done now. Can't go back.

I didn't get to use it today :'( I had a lot of errands to do today and was gone for most of the day. I will get back on it tomorrow though.

Good for you. Glad you are going to be putting her to use.

Congrats on being brave enough to get going on your Bailey! You will learn to really love her! FMQ on a long arm is great!!

wohooo glad ya got to finally use Bailey and learn how to use her .. Wooooooooohoooooo !! Thanks for sharing

Yay! Congratulations! Happy quilting!

$2500? I would LOVE one, but ouch, this is an expensive habit!
