Sailrite Industrial Ultrafeed LS-1 Classic Walking Foot Straight Stitch The LS-1 straight stitch Ultrafeed™ makes feeding heavy, bulky and even sticky fabrics like window material a breeze. On most sewing machines the presser foot simply holds the fabric down and all movement is accomplished with a single, bottom feed dog. The Ultrafeed™ uses a mechanical "Walking" presser foot that moves forward and back in time with the feed dog to ensure the layers of fabric are moving together and easily through the machine. Since it feeds so well, the stitch length stays very consistent. And, because the walking foot is designed with a high lift, it better accommodates thick fabric assemblies. Its variable stitch length mechanism allows for very long straight stitches up to 6mm. This is great for sewing Sunbrella which tends to needle pucker (the longer the stitch the less the pucker). And, its lever activated reverse makes back stitching easy. A welting tunnel in the presser foot allows for accurate piping installation. Features: Consistent Stitch Length. Because of the machine's excellent feeding. It walks over thick hems and makes the transition from thick to thin without skipping stitches. Super Reverse. Most machines have problems sewing in reverse but not the Ultrafeed. Its lever activated reverse makes back stitching easy. In fact you can sew for long distances in reverse. Thick Fabric Assemblies. At 43 lbs. the Ultrafeed head has the bulk to stay put when handling heavy fabric assemblies. And, because the walking foot is designed with a high lift, it better accommodates thick assemblies. Sew as many as 10 layers of canvas. Power. The machine is powered by a 1.5 amp motor. A cogged belt and pulley jack drive system slows the machine, increases power and eliminates belt slippage. This is an amazingly powerful machine. "Great for cottage industries!" For even more power consider adding the optional Monster II Balance Wheel (Part #604U). Super Low Price, Excellent Support. The Ultrafeed is produced, supported and guaranteed by Sailrite, for over 30 years a source for canvas tools, products and supplies. That support features a PDF Guidebook on disk with thorough instructions (including machine timing) and complete part listings with exploded engineering drawings. Included instructional video makes use and maintenance even easier. There is also a toll free tech/support line and a full service and parts department. This well built, all metal, 43 lb., straight stitch machine is ideal for canvas and sail work, upholstering, draperies, quilting and general sewing. Sew fabric layers as thick as 5/16" and as many as 10 layers of Sunbrella on the Sailrite Ultrafeed. Make and repair cushions, covers, biminis, dodgers, bags... Do home sewing. Even make and repair sails by adding an extra row of stitches (to compensate for the lack of a zigzag stitch). This machine is really a workhorse and it's fun to use.
