Can I come to the factory and look at the machines?
We are always happy to have visitors come to the factory. You can see how the machines are built, meet the people behind the scenes, and see and play with new machines. Please call to let us know when you are going to visit the factory. We want to have machines available for you to operate. If you are in the area please stop by. It's fun.
Can I add some of the new features to my older Nolting Longarm?
We have worked very hard to make the new features available as a retro fit to older Nolting machines. We can add most of the current options to your machine. Laser pointers, round foot, stitch regulator, needle positioner, Hartley Fence, and now the track lock can all be added to your machine. Contact us about retro fits for your machine. Do you still make parts for the Nolting and Gammill machines you built? Yes... we still have or build parts for all the machines we have made. We can send you the parts or we can work on them at the factory.
Do you take trades?
We are always interested in working with you on a trade in of your current Nolting Longarm. You can trade in the machine and table or just the machine. We can build a machine to fit your current table. We refurbish them and make them available to people as used machines. We offer them with a short warranty. We do entertain offers to trade other brands, but we are not very enthusiastic about them. Please contact us if you are interested in making a trade. It can be much easier than trying to sell it yourself.
How much room is needed for the table?
We recommend that you make a space large enough to be comfortable while operating the machine. A minimum of two feet on the front, back, and on one end. On a 24" by 12' table, we recommend 8' by 14', minimum. This will be tight but you can operate the machine. More would be better. We can make custom length tables to fit your room.
Which thread works on my Longarm?
Longarm quilting machines are high-speed, multi-directional, industrial sewing machines that typically require stronger thread than your home sewing machine. Therefore choose threads with high tensile strength. Polyester, cotton wrapped polyester core, and selected cottons have proven to work effectively. Nolting carries a line of quilting thread that works very well on Longarm machines.
Can I use 1/4 inch rulers with my Nolting
Some older Nolting Longarms have a high lifting hopping foot. All of the machines made after 1995 have the lower lifting hopping foot. You will be able to use a true 1/4" ruler or template. There is a simple test to find out how high your foot lifts. Move your longarm over to the side and remove any fabric from the throat of the machine. Using the hand wheel lower the hopping foot to its lowest position. It should be about a Dime's thickness off of the throat plate. Now roll the hand wheel until the hopping foot is at its highest point. Get out your allen wrench set. Lay an allen wrench on its side on the throat plate and try to slide it under the foot. Start with the 1/4" allen wrench. Does it slide under? If it does, you will need to use 3/8" rulers. If it does not slide under, you can use 1/4" rulers. We have a round foot that is 1/4" away from the needle all the way around. Check out Trouble shooting for more information on getting one for your machine. We also carry large ruler bases that help when using rulers. You can order them at the Accessories Page.
