I have a machine by Nolting. I am allergic to latex / natural rubber and couldn't go into stores to try out all the machines. I needed one without any rubber parts and Notling was AMAZING! They called me with each step to make sure not to use glues or rubber, and custom made my machine at no extra cost and shipped it via a tractor trailer to me. I got a video, they had printed instructions to assemble it and they were only ever a phone call away. I have had it for several years, haven't needed any repairs. If i call they answer every question. It is just the basic industrial long arm machine with stitch regulators and such and a king size table. I like it. I am not very good yet since time is always limited to work with it but I am very happy to have a latex free machine that is very low maintenance. I oil it with every use and hopefully it will last forever. Check them out, they are very helpful. If you are in Pennsylvania, you are welcome to come and try it out.
