It's a little disappointing that they went for the usual dual feed system on this machine rather than a triple feed. It's so nice to be able to use the reverse lever on a triple feed to place the last stitch before a corner or when coming up to overlap a previous line of stitching. The lack of a knee lift is also such a painful miss. I hope at some point they'll put some R&D dollars into making a compact/portable version of something like the Consew 206RB-5 triple-feed machine.

Tandy used to sell a white version of basically the same machine. I don't see it on their website anymore, but it had the same capacity as the Sailrite leatherwork, which is about 5/16" of compressed leather. Consew makes a portable walking foot that's pretty similar as well. Best to you.

Yes, the presser foot that comes with the Leatherwork is good for light to medium weight fabric as well. Canvas, medium upholstery weight fabric etc. I wouldn't sew silk or a slip cover with it, but it can handle most everything else. Basically it can do everything an LS-1 can do, plus the ability to sew leather. Good luck with your decision!

Yes, you are correct, a compound walking foot AKA triple feed has some advantages. It includes needle feed along with the feed dog and walking foot for even more consistent material feeding. The biggest limitation with the portable machines is the foot doesn't lift quite high enough. Thanks.

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker
2 жыл бұрын
Saddles and holsters are specialty work, even within the field of leather sewing. You wouldn't have nearly enough clearance under the presser foot. Additionally, you can only use 92 weight thread max on the Sailrite. While that's plenty for upholstery, it's not quite enough for the heavy stuff. Best

How fast can I go on this on a 16oz leather?
@TheThoughtfulWoodworker
2 жыл бұрын
Hello, with the Leatherwork machine it has been specifically put together to sew slowly. The speed reducer and variable workhorse servo help with that goal. 16oz of leather is 1/4" thick more or less. That is approaching the functional maximum thickness of this machine (about 5/16" max in my experience). You'll definitely want to adjust the machine for maximum walking foot steppage. That said, I always sew pretty slowly when working with leather. Cheers
