    Hi
    I was wondering in anyone on this quilt site has or used this machine? Trying to decide if I should get the 13" or the 15" model that they make. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

    I have a 15" and love it-- if I could have afforded it I would have purchased the 17".

    One more question, there is a $170. difference between buying a new machine vs a class room machine with 10 hours on it
    what is you thought on buying used?
    Thanks

    I figure those classromm modles have most of the bugs worked out :thumbup: there is a Bailey yahoo group, you can search thru the posts and see the problems we've had, none have not been fixed and most were user error

    I got a classroom machine. It works like a champ. I just need to practice and remember to put the foot down.

    I just ordered the 17"...will be here on Monday. I, as most people, bought this machine sight unseen. I ordered the "classroom" model. Chuck Bailey stands behind his products 100%. It is very much like a larger version of a home machine so I think it will be easy for me to maintain on my own. I've heard nothing but good about the machines and the company. Get the biggest size you can afford! I already have a grace frame and ordered mine with the stitch regulator.
