NuStyle quilting machine
My wife has a chance to buy a used Nustyle model 228 quilting machine,
about 10 years old. The price is good, but I'm wondering if anyone has any good, or bad opinions on it. She is a home user, and is doing this for a hobby. We do not need a production machine. Thank you. Ed |

NuStyle quilting machine
A group of friends and I bought a NuStyle machine in July....I am
unsure of the model number. It has taken some time to set it right, adjust tension, find the proper thread that will work in the machine etc. But the gals who use it regularly are beginning to produce some nice work (I just can't find the time to invest). It does take some time to learn how to use. Moving the mahine opposed to moving the quilt is a subtle difference but it takes a lot of practice to get the hang of it. We felt the occasional use we would give it, is worth the effort. We paid $700 for our machine. It had been stting for over 15 years but sews well once it was oiled, quite an uncomplicated machine. Also, we did not get an instruction manual with it! The man we spoke to at NuStyle was very helpful.

NuStyle quilting machine
Looking for a copy of the manual for the Nustyle machine. The one my cousin has is older...similar to the 228 or 227. I had one, and lost mine (I had the 227 for years).
Would appreciate a scanned copy, or willing to pay for a copy if someone can do this for me.

But I didn't see a reply. I used to own a Nustyle.
