Not every great machine needs to be brand new. Nebraska Quilt Company carries a rotating selection of pre-owned and trade-in sewing machines — each one inspected, serviced, and backed by our team before it ever goes on the floor.

And they go fast!

We're an authorized dealer for Pfaff, BERNINA (Excellence Dealer), Baby Lock, bernette, Necchi, and Brother (Diamond Elite), which means we know these machines inside and out. When a customer trades in a machine, we don't just clean it up and put a price tag on it. We run it through the same diagnostic process our certified technicians use on machines coming in for annual service. If it doesn't perform the way it should, it doesn't go on the floor.

What we typically have in stock:

Pre-owned inventory changes regularly, but we frequently carry trade-in models including Pfaff Performance series, Pfaff Quilt Expression, Pfaff Creative series, BERNINA 5 and 7 series, Baby Lock, and Brother machines in the mid-to-upper range. Many of these are machines that customers traded in when upgrading — well-maintained machines from serious sewists who took good care of their equipment.

What every pre-owned machine at NQC includes:

• Full inspection and service by our on-site certified technicians
• Timing checked and calibrated
• Tension tested across multiple stitch types
• Exterior cleaned and mechanism lubricated
• Any known issues disclosed before purchase — no surprises

Why buy pre-owned from a dealer instead of online?

When you buy a Pfaff or BERNINA from a stranger on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, you're buying a machine with an unknown history, no service records, and no one to call if something's wrong. When you buy pre-owned from Nebraska Quilt Company, you get a machine that's been looked at by someone who services that brand every week, sold by people who will still be here when you have questions. We offer free owner's orientation on every pre-owned machine purchase and can schedule service if anything comes up.

Trade in your current machine

If you're ready to upgrade, we accept trade-ins. Bring your machine in and we'll give you a fair appraisal — no appointment needed, just stop in during business hours. Trade-in credit can be applied toward any machine in the store, new or pre-owned.

Check current pre-owned availability

Pre-owned inventory moves fast and isn't always listed online. The best way to find out what's currently on the floor is to call us at (402) 721-7752 or stop in during store hours.
