Do I still love my Sailrite Fabricator after all this time? Do I use it more than my domestic?

Last year I bought my first sewing machine. I got the Ultrafeed LS 1. I took a ribbing from some buddies about buying a sewing machine. I have a garage shop full of woodworking and metalworking tools. Two guys have brought me projects to sew for them. Knowing what I know now I would have got the Fabricator. I still have a lot to learn, but am having fun.

It happens, I want Sailrite to come out with a cylinder arm lol It would be amazing for what I do now.

[@ROBTAT2]

I’m in the same boat! I’m. A woodworker and the past 2 years I’ve been getting into leather craft. I’ve been researching sewing machines and I went with the. Sailrite leatherworker. I feel better knowing that alot of men use sewing machines for leather!!

[@1979augistine]

Cylinder arm is what i should have bought instead of flatbed machine

[@randomtscemployee5929]

Same here. The Ultrafeed has no finesse.

[@DanaDeeBee]

Still thinking about getting one myself, thanks to your videos.

[@randomtscemployee5929]

Just ordered one! Thank you for your video. Its a big investment especially for a side hustle.

[@chfman4912]

I literally just clicked order on a Fabricator two minutes ago. A little nervous about the expense but excited too. Hope I don’t regret it and it helps me up my game like I keep thinking it will.

I've had my Fabricator for 2 years (& love mine even more now!). I can't believe I have only just found your channel! Thank you for taking the time to make the video's & I hope you get sponsored by #Sailrite.

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

You're very welcome and I'm glad you found me! I asked but I think my channel needs to be bigger for them to do anything 😞 until then I'll keep selling machines for them for free 🙂

[@darknessfierce4209]

Another difference between Sailrite and the lower end Juki is speed. They’re not even half as fast.

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

Agreed!

[@tanyaisis]

What presser foot do you useregular or zipper

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

The zipper foot, 90% of the time lol I hate changing the feet out.

[@joshuasasfire2759]

Can this sew leather too?

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

I believe if you "skive" the edges it can.

[@tjwobse]

Hi Faith! I’ve been trying to find the Facebook group. Any idea if it’s still going and what it’s called or how I join?

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

Yep, here's a link. facebook.com/groups/3553509934878188 It looks like the old group was archived 😞

I buy two of every thread just so I don’t have to thread my Fabricator after every bobbin winding.

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

I do too! It makes life soooo much easier!

[@darknessfierce4209]

The industrials with a table you can take the head out that’s the weight of it. You can definitely get it upstairs if you can make the clearance.

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

Yep, just get those muscles ready lol

[@peggybond8996]

I love my Fabricator. I would never trade her. I love her!!!!

[@suerush704]

Thank you so much for the video, I just got my Fabricator so Ill be watching all your videos. Im a little intimidated by it coz ive never had an industrial Machine but im sure once I start learning it i will Love it. ❤

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

You will and you'll NEVER wanna go back lol

[@angelapavlik]

I am in not ready to invest in an industrial machine, but I would like to purchase large cones of thread such as the ones you use in your video. Any suggestions for use on a heavy duty domestic machine? I am hesitant to buy from a supplier that caters to industrial machine users until I know which threads my machine can handle.

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

I don't as I haven't bought any for mine but you could always go on Sew Whatever on FB and ask there. There are a lot of domestic users there that might be able to help.

[@DanaDeeBee]

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

Your very welcome!

[@LesleyCanterbury22]

I want an industrial so bad but cant afford one out right. Do you know of any that take payments or even lawaway?

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

Unfortunately I do not, the best thing to do is to save up and maybe even sew to sell for a little bit and raise the money. You could make a post about wanting to save up the money for it on your personal page and make items to sell?

[@LesleyCanterbury22]

@faithwerksdesigns6197 that's what I've been doing. I've saved up a few hundred. I'll get one eventually. I'm sewing on a vintage Singer 15-91 and she is a great machine. I can sew through 10 layers of vinyl. I'm just having and issue sometimes with skipped stitches and it HATES double sided tape. But, I'll keep her forever even when I get an industrial. I love her.

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

@@LesleyCanterbury22 just keep saving, it will happen ;-)

[@johan13135]

Buy a used industrial one. Cost probably between 50 - 300$ in the US

[@LesleyCanterbury22]

@@johan13135 I've tried looking. I'll eventually find the right one
