In this video I'll tell you all about heavy duty (industrial) sewing machines and what you want to consider before purchasing. I'm using my Sailrite Ultrafeed to show you what they can do. Please visit http://www.FearlessMakers.com for tips, tricks and projects.

Hi Lori, I hope to start a fashion industry in Nigeria; producing cloths using local African fabrics. I hope to start with 20 sewing machines, I equally hope to employ many debutants . Any advice and recommendation from you will highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

that great video

Thanks for the great video. I just ordered a sailrite. I make purses. When you switch to the less aggressive foot, is that a foot specifically for this machine? Can you only use sailrite feet?
-
Do work for Sailrite, or financially rewarded for recommending them? I am considering an Ultrafeed, but there are many machines out there that are junk. Is it really one of the best? Any others you would recommend?

Lori,
Excellent video demonstrating the nation building power of your machine--I had Sailrite on the radar, as replacement for a Pfaff 2023 and a Viking Emerald 116 (plastic under-achievers). Almost all my sewing is straight stitch--ergo, a Juki TL2010Q is on its way to my door. Maybe future projects will scream zigzag and Sailrite. Thanks. -
do u have any machine tutorials
-
lori how do you thread these machines
-
Will the Rex607z or Sailright sew through cardbord. Example Soda box, Beer Box?
-
The Rex607Z is priced at a little over 300. & does both straight & ZZ stitching with a walking foot...much better value than the Sailright and just as good quality with a 1.5 amp motor...............

Also the other person said about a older singer sewing and that is what I had before and they are no comparison to the Sailrite or Rex walking foot sewing machine the Rex and Sailrite machine is a hundred times better I sew a lot of leather seats and it is a breeze !
-
I seen all the videos of the model your showing and did some research and found out they are actually a Rex sewing machine with a couple upgrades done , so that is what I done was purchase the Rex brand new for 264.00 and order the bigger wheel with handle but it was mainly for my upholstery work I do I have had it for 5 years and I can tell you how many seats I have done hundreds and not one problem I be if you took that Sailrite sticker off you will see the Rex engraved in the metal !

I was considering getting a Sailrite and I might still get one in the future but there are plenty of vintage machines out there that are better built and built to last like the Singer 201 and that can be bought at a much lower price. They are powerful enough to handle everything the Sailrite can. One can also get even a Singer 66 and outfit it with a more powerful motor easily bought for under $50. I finally settled on going that route, getting a Singer 66 for under $50. Cast iron, much nicer looking (red eye edition) and one whose motor can easily be upgraded. I'll start out on that one and may or may not need another, except I'm keeping my eye out for a 201.
