I am very very happy with my Ultrafeed machine, I am a beginner and I have been able to do everything I had hoped to . The troubleshooting is well documented and easy to follow, the machine is well built and user friendly. I have zero regrets buying the Sailrite ultrafeed LS-1

I bought this machine to sew leather, it will sew 2 layers of veg tan leather that just barely fit under the presser foot. The key is to get the diamond or tri-point needles, and take your time. Stitch spacing and tension is good. I will be ordering the Monster Wheel soon because it with the plastic power wheel sews a little fast for my taste, no matter how well I feather the pedal. The threads for the post that catches the thread as it comes off the thread stand were either obstructed by the red coating of the machine or were poorly threaded to begin with, either way the post would not thread into the machine, so I had to chase the threads with a tap in order to get it to work. Otherwise everything worked well out of the box. Do not forget to lower the presser foot before you start sewing again or you will have a rats nest of thread on your hands, but that is true of any walking foot machine. Cheap? No. Industrial? No. Solid performer? Yes. Would I buy again? Yes, but hopefully I won't have too!Read full review

Why didn't I buy one of these several years ago. After years of trying to do upholstery projects with a home sewing machine and struggling to get decent results I broke down and bought this machine. No more fighting to get the machine to sew a decent stitch through thick layers of fabric with heavy thread. This machine does not do anything fancy. It simply sews forward and reverse, but it does it REALLY well. As long as the material you want to sew fits under the foot it will sew it perfectly with no skipped stitches. I practiced with everything from thin clear plastic to leather and it sewed everything perfectly. It literally cut my project time in half and reduced the frustration factor by 100%. What a joy. For me this was money well spent.
The pedal when pressed doesn't always work. Found that works better when upside down. Video included was helpful getting started.
