Absolutely not true. Bailey is made in upper New York. Chuck makes each machine to order. He has a shop there where you can go and see the machines if you live in the area, but he does not make the quilt shop circuit.
It is definately not a cheap made machine. Just a simple made machine. He has designed his upgrades so they are easy for the owner to clean, service and enjoy. He is always available to take your questions on the phone, just don't ask him to do emails. That is not his cup of tea. The machine is all metal and what else can I say...It has the most bang for the bucks.
