I highly recommend the Nolting. The factory is in Iowa and help is available by phone. Having a dealer close by would be really helpful, especially for the Intelliquilter. I have a friend who is a Nolting/Intelliquilter dealer. She has sold lots of both in our area and goes to other states to teach and service the computer. I bought a used Nolting from her and I love it.
And also, I think a good longarmer would always be in demand!
