Tips for Buying / Selling Used Longarm Machines

Check the sellers pick up / delivery policy

Make sure all components required for operation of the machine are included.

Ask if the original manual is included with the machine.

Be sure to ask about any additional material they may be willing to sell with machine.

When was the last service done on the machine, do they have the service records.

Don’t be afraid to ask for a test drive.

Make sure to specify if you’re willing to set up/deliver or if you only want local pick up.

If you don’t have good photos of your machine, look online for accurate representative photos.

Please list how often the machine was used (# of quilts done per year.)

• You should also include if you only quilted for yourself or if you also quilted for others.

Include any warranty information if applicable.

Specify if you’re including additional extras (and if they’re included in the cost).

Most buyers will want to test drive, so leave the machine set up and operational.

Include information on how the machine has been maintained. (where it was kept/used, cleaned, oiled, etc.)
