Product Description

Features a mechanical walking presser foot that moves forward and back in time with the feed dog to ensure that the layers of fabric are moving together through the machine.

Sewn stitches can be made extra long with the variable stitch length mechanism. This reduces needle pucker for professional quality upholstery and canvas work. The walking foot with its aggressive bottom gripping surface creates a large, positive contact between the foot, the feed dog and the fabric itself. Walk over thick hems and make the transition from thick to thin without skipping stitches.

Excellent power is provided by a 110 VAC motor that develops 6600 rpm at 1.5 amps and a cogged belt and pulley drive system. A special large diameter balance wheel slows the machine down and dramatically enhances power. This wheel has been designed to work with our Posi-Pin clutching system. The Posi-Pin is a patent pending direct drive mechanism that results in 100% power transfer from the balance wheel to the needle. This system is much better than the typical clutch which is prone to slippage in heavy materials. Variable speed operation of the sewing machine is provided by an electronic foot control.

Reversing is easy with the lever activated mechanism. A welting tunnel built into the presser foot simplifies piping installation. Ultrafeeds are great for building cushions which have piping trimmed edges. And, because the needle is offset to the right in the presser feet, it is possible to install most zippers without changing to a zipper foot.

Sew up to 10 layers of canvas or 8 layers of 8oz Dacron. Repair sails, make cushions, covers, awnings, leather goods, shorten jeans, do upholstery.

Includes: Posi-Pin direct drive clutch system, combo cording/standard presser feet, PowerPlus balance wheel, carrying case, foot control, oil, 4 bobbins, 4 needles, scarfed gib hook, thread stand, thread, custom guidebook, DVD videos.

Product Description

The Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1 sewing machine is a straight stitch/zigzag sewing machine (Patent #6499415) featuring a mechanical walking presser foot that moves forward and back in time with the feed dog to ensure that the layers of fabric are moving together through the machine.

Stitches can be made long with the variable stitch length mechanism, this reduces needle pucker. Zigzag stitches can be made up to 5mm wide. The wide 19mm zigzag walking foot creates a large, positive contact between the foot, the feed dog and the fabric itself. Walks over thick hems, makes the transition from thick to thin without skipping stitches.

Excellent power provided by a 110 VAC motor that develops 6600 rpm at 1.5amps, cogged belt and pulley drive system. A special large diameter balance wheel slows the machine down and dramatically enhances power. This wheel has been specially designed to work with our Posi-Pin clutching system. The Posi-Pin is a patent pending direct drive mechanism that results in 100% power transfer from the balance wheel to the needle. This system is much better than the typical compression clutch which is prone to slippage in heavy materials.

Reversing is easy with the lever activated mechanism. A welting tunnel built into the presser foot simplifies piping installation.

A needle positioning lever allows for movement of the needle left, right and center making it possible to install most zippers without changing the presser foot.

Sew up to 10 layers of canvas material in straight stitch. Zigzag stitch in as many as 8 layers of hard to penetrate 8oz Dacron. Repair sails, make cushions, covers, awnings, leather goods, shorten jeans, do upholstery, general home sewing and more.

Includes: Posi-Pin direct drive clutch system, combo cording/standard presser feet, PowerPlus balance wheel, carrying case, foot control, oil, 4 bobbins, 4 needles, scarfed gib hook, thread stand, thread, custom guidebook, DVD videos.
