Servicing the Sailrite Professional

Unfortunately they stopped selling this fantastic machine last year because of supply issues. It has been a great partner in my business for 12 years and has many more left if properly maintained.

Thanks for the video. Have the Professional and love it. I watched the Solent video on timing. Help also. They have added an offset to the rod around the 4-point 2-point cam to make changing very easy and quick. Need to get Sailrite to consider getting a model back for sale. Again, thanks for your comments on the adjustments.

Great video. I have a Stager which is what this is based off of. There’s a 6-Row Feed Dog available (Part Number #CS415F) that uses the dead space on the feed-dog in front of the needle; but it’s rare and has to be imported from a Consew/Seiko dealer. #CS139F is the matching Needle Plate. The feet on these tend to stick to the material at times, attaching Teflon to the bottom might alleviate it.

Hi Tom, your tension issue, Is your presser foot sticking, or being held up, maybe slightly off the fabric. If the fabric lifts a little it will give the impression of top tension problem, and the knot will always be on the bottom, might be worth a check.

You still using this machine? I just bought one and have been trying to solve an issue with it binding when reversing.
