Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1 sewing
machine
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
consistently moving together through the machine. The result—heavy,
bulky and even sticky fabrics like leather and window material are
easily sewn with consistently symmetrical stitch lengths.
Sewn stitches can be made extra long (up to 6mm) with the variable
stitch length mechanism on the Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1 sewing
machine. This reduces needle pucker for professional quality
upholstery and canvas sewing. Zigzag stitches can be made up to 5mm
wide and can be spaced tightly enough to bind edges (on a carpet for
example). The LSZ-1's unusually wide 19mm zigzag walking foot
creates a large, positive contact between the foot, the feed dog and
the fabric itself. The Sailrite Ultra feed LSZ-1 sewing machine
walks over thick hems and makes 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. In
addition, a special large diameter balance wheel (the PowerPlus
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 on the Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1
sewing machine is a patent pending direct drive mechanism that
results in 100% power transfer from the balance wheel to the
machine’s needle. This novel system is much better than the typical
compression clutch which is prone to slippage in heavy materials.
Variable speed operation of the sewing machine is provided by an
electronic foot control. This is a powerful, well designed sewing
machine.
Reversing is easy with the lever activated mechanism and, because
the machine feeds so well, back stitching for long distances is
possible. A welting tunnel built into the presser foot simplifies
piping installation. Ultrafeeds are great tools for building
cushions which have piping trimmed edges.
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. Even beginning sewers find the Ultrafeed
to be a very straight forward, easy to learn machine.
Support:
Sailrite provides excellent support. Custom guidebooks feature
complete parts listing and exploded engineering drawings.
Interactive (menu driven) instructional DVD videos make use even
easier. And, of course, tollfree tech support is available within
the United States.
Sew as many as 10 layers of heavy canvas material in straight
stitch. Zigzag stitch in as many as 8 layers of tightly woven, hard
to penetrate 8oz Dacron. Repair sails, make cushions, covers,
awnings and leather goods. Install zippers, plastic windows,
boltropes, shorten jeans, fix a tent, do auto upholstery. Use the
Ultrafeed for crafts, upholstery, draperies, quilting and general
home sewing—its performance and versatility are hard to beat!
