CompuQuilter is available for Nolting Longarm Machines maufactured after 1998. The table must be made of metal since CompuQuilter cannot be installed on a wooden table. A stitch regulator is not necessary, if your machine is equipped with a stitch regulator CompuQuilter will not interfere with its operation. Your Nolting longarm machine can still be used as a free motion machine by quickly disengaging CompuQuilter controls.
