Sailrite Deluxe Fabricator Sewing Machine Package (110V)
This machine was not complicated to get set up. Like anything, you have to adjust things and work out any hiccups, but sailrite has the best videos and the books that come with the machine are well written with labels and clear pictures in color, so anything you need to know is at your fingertips. In the event you don't find what you need, customer service is out of this world. They're prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. I'm really glad I found this company.
Top Gun Burgundy 62" Fabric
Fabric was great, just what the sample I got first was like. Cuts easily and straight ripping with a good pair of scissors. Used the fabric for my boat seat covers. Took 2 project tables forming an 'L' with a heavy duty sewing machine on the inside of the 'L' so that one table was on my left side to hold the bulk of the fabric level with the machine. I used a #14 sharp point needle and size 69 thread that I also purchased from Sailrite. The fabric let me bend it back with several layers under the machine foot and fed thru with easy. I look forward to many years of cover use with this fabric.
