    I have a Nolting Pro 24. Yes, it is the price of a small car. No fancy computer work here, just a workhorse of a machine. Mine is over 15 years old. Never a problem.

    Nolting has a computerized model too.
    Great American made company and great service.

    I bought my mom's Nolting. It's about 15 years old and runs perfectly. No computer...just free hand but it stitches like a dream.

    Nolting is a reputable company who has been in the longarm business for a long time. Did you have specific questions about the machines?

    learned to quilt on a Nolting Hobby quilter, then upgraded to a 16" Nolting. I really liked it and when you have some problems their service is great, sometime they will talk you through it.

    I have the 18 inch fun quilter that I bought used from another company about 5 years ago and Nolting has been fantastic with my questions and when I needed help with a problem that I caused.I have never had any problems with the machine it's self,I had problems with my carriage as it wasn't the right one for the summit frame that I had bought.

    I have a Nolting, very happy with it. Bought it used and it's a little workhorse.

    I do not have a Nolting that cost as much as a car. I have the Nolting Fun Quilter with the 20 inch base and it is so wonderful. I use it almost everyday and, after 3 years, I have yet to have any problem, large or small. I often help a friend in another city catch up on her quilting and she has a Gammill and I find that it has constant tension problems even though it s only 2 years old. Quilting machines are one item that cost really does not reflect quality. I do mostly customized free motion quilting but a quilter nearby has the computer system on her Nolting and she also is extremely satisfied
