Nolting long arm
 

Anyone have one of these high priced commercial rigs????
What do you think??

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.
peace

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 a Nolting 30 pro and one of the first 24s that they ever made and love them both

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 have a fun quilter and agree with all the other comments, good machine and great service.

It's not commercial it's professional; no more high priced than some "domestic" sewing machines on the market and probably comparable to other equipment used in other endeavors; not a rig but a long-arm sewing machine. And there are many here and elsewhere that have " one" of this brand or others that are available and like anything else: some happy, others not so. Good luck in your assessment......

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

I have a Babylock Jewel with the computer component for sale and I work on a Gammill Optimum Plus. I think that most longarms are basically the same as in function. They only differ in the bells and whistles that you add.

I used to live near the Nolting factory, and i know a number of folks with their machines. They were a great help when I was trying to decide between a long arm and a sit down, and I have bought a lot of supplies from them. I never found them to be high priced, at least not as compared to Gammill and HPQS. They are high quality professional workhorses without a lot of external frills.

Is there a place to see pricing on these (nolting 30 model) and if youhave a used one do they need much servicing ?
