Good luck and happy quilting:-)

You can buy them individually or as a package with a frame. If you buy it as a package the shipping is free. Without a frame the shipping is a flat $50
Stitch Control is $675
Sometimes you can get a slightly used classroom model and the price is around $200 less than a new one.

There is a Yahoo group for this brand and believe me...the members love their machines! Mine will be arriving UPS on Monday ;)

Three years ago I bought a Bailey 13" and a GMQ Pro frame for $2500. That was it. No Bells or whistles.
Bailey made these machines for home quilters who wanted to be able to quilt their own quilts. They are not Professional models, but some of the people who have bought them have been able to do some phenomenal quilting.
Most of us are happy to be able to quilt our own quilts and using our own free motion design and meander quilting, suits us fine. Those of use who do charity quilts do not need fancy stitches. I have been totally happy with mine, it is in my sewing room and when I want to turn it on and quilt, I can do that. I don't have to wait in line or pay to have my quilts done by someone else. It is liberating, especially after I paid a quilter $500 one summer - then decided I should just learn to do this for myself. My own quilts keep me busy, and that keeps my happy and out of trouble!
Home Quilters are great.

Price is an issue,yes. Before you make a decision based on only that, it would be well worth your time to head to a larger quilt show and try out every machine in sight, even if you know you can't afford it. "Feel" is so important.

How would I find the Yahoo group for the Bailey machine? Congrats on your new one coming. Let us know how you like it as I am looking at the Bailey as well. Is less expensive then the bigger models. Thanks
