I've looked at Bailey ads & went 2 their website but I couldnt tell if you can use it as a sit down-like a sweet 16. I am trying 2 quilt on mydomestic machine but would love 2 have the xtra throat space. I dont have a frame-just want a set-up like a normal sewing machine.
I took my Bailey off the frame and had it put into a desk my husband built.

http://www.baileyssewingcenter.com/ This is a small family business that you deal with them directly. Very wonderful to work with. My aunt had been down to their store before. She took me down today after I had searched their website online (at her suggestion). I just bought a 17" that was a classroom model. I am hoping the rain stops long enough so I can get it in the house!

Facebook has an active "Bailey Home Quilter group".
The Bailey Home Quilter is made by a small family firm in New York state. They are available in 13", 15", 17", and now 20". You'll need a frame with an upper carriage, as the machine has no wheels. It's a great starter machine. No bells and whistles, ( not even needld up/ down), but totally mechanical, so easy to maintain yourself, and no computor boards to need replacing.
I first owned a Bailey in 2012 and used it as a sitdown quilter set into a counter using the foot pedal Then l got a frame and used the basic setup with handles that have a speed control. Later, when we started going to our place in Florida for winter, l got another one, used this time, a 13" and it had the Sew Control regulator which had the sensors, a good but not great regulator system ( easy to outrun). After covid, we sold our place south, and hubby asked me if l loved quilting enough to buy a big longarm. Of course l said yes! So l sold the one l had in Canada as well as the one in Fla., and now own a Q 21 R longarm on a 10' continuum 2 frame. All that l learned using my Bailey machines made the transition so easy! Where others havd been too scared beginning, l jumped right in and started quilting! I now am a volunteer longarmer for Quilts of Valour and also have done some lovely fundraisers. I owe it all to my Bailey beginnings!
