Pre-Loved Machines Q&A
What are the classifications of pre-loved machines?
Show: A show machine has been used by Gammill such as at quilt shows or in video filming. These machines are the latest model and have up to date software. Ages of the machine vary and pricing is individual by machine.
Classroom: These machines have been used in Gammill classrooms, such as during our Quilting with Confidence tour. These machines are the latest model and have up-to-date software. Ages of the machine vary and pricing is individual by machine or by year of the machine.
Other Late Model Machines: These include machines that were owned by individuals and then traded to Gammill for a different system. These machines are the latest model. For computerized systems, this includes Statler or Ascend machines that have a Mod G controller and run CreativeStudio 7. For hand guided machines, these are Vision 2.0 machines. Ages of the machine vary and pricing is individual by machine or by year of the machine.

Pre-Loved Machines with Brand New Retrofits: Gammill owners will sometimes trade their machine to Gammill for a newer system or a different machine size. If these machines are not the most up-to-date model, they are updated at our factory with a new Retrofit. This is typically a Statler or Ascend retrofit. However, machines with 18-inches of throat space will be retrofitted to the Vision 2.0. These machines show their previous love in the form of some cosmetic scratches or chips, but mechanically and electrically, the machines have been completely refurbished and recertified. These are categorized and priced by age and cosmetic condition of the casting and table.

What are the different classifications for pre-loved tables?
Vision 2.0 18-inch machines will come on a Home Pro table of a similar year. Machines that are 22" and larger will come on your choice of a 12' or 14' table (as supplies last). Tables are categorized by condition and year.
Category A: The table is powder coated which is more durable than ordinary paint. The tabletop will have minimal light scratching. The table is pivotal access and has the sit or stand feature.
Category B: The table is powder coated which is more durable than ordinary paint. The tabletop has signs of moderate scratches. The table is pivotal access but will not have the sit or stand feature.
Category C: The table is painted (not powder coated). The table may be any style and the tabletop shows heavy use. It may have straight bars.
