I have had it less than a week, but the first two projects turned out very well. The machine made the projects much easier and took less time as a result. I would suggest a couple of minor changes to the package. I would like to see a built-in receptacle for the light (and a better quality light or even a built-in light) and a metal thread spool holder rather than the plastic one. These would definitely improve the overall impression of the machine. As it stands the attachments seem like an afterthought rather than being part of the very carefully thought out and designed machine.
I ordered samples because I wanted to see and feel the fabric before ordering. The samples were of a decent size and reflected adequately what I had seen in the catalog as far as color. The only draw back was that the samples did not arrive before a sales special you had was to expire. Usually mail gets to me in 4 days max. It took almost 2 weeks. That isn't Sailrites fault though. So I took a chance and placed my full order as it was a large order and I didn't want to miss the $10 off on every $100 ordered. The samples came in the mail the day after my large order arrived via Fed Ex. The samples were not wasted however. I used them to set the sewing settings on my machine, and a little trial piping making and assembling to other sample. I was very pleased.
We purchased a 30 year old Bayliner Ciera. It's in pretty rough shape inside. Not bad outside. The vinyl and foam we purchased arrived so quickly. The boat is looking better and better. Your project instructions have been really great. We will be placing another order as we make our way through the boat. Thanks for everything.
Sailrite is an awesome company. They have great products, and constantly increasing their product line. And the customer service is outstanding. Anytime you have questions they are there to help. The How-To YouTube videos are the icing on the cake. Thanks Sailrite Team!
I received my new machine and set it up right away. It was packaged with great care and the set up was explained in detail with the video. I am now ready to plan and start many projects with this hard-working dream of a machine! Thank you!
I watched a Utube video from Sailrite on reupolstering a chair and found it very informative. The pneumatic stapler looked much easier than what I've been using and the staple puller definitely seemed easier. Haven't had the opportunity to try them yet but I'm sure they will work more efficiently than what I'm using now. Looking forward to this and future projects.
Always great to work with Sailrite. That machine just keeps on thumping. The instructional videos are quite helpful. If you give Jeff a call he will help you sort out your canvas and sail projects. The prices are very good and Sailrite has just about anything you will ever need for your projects. Many things you can do with a home sewing machine, but when you get to many layers and sailcloth, the Sailrite machines get you to the finish. When I start out on a long trip, I take a lot of supplies, webbing, thread, Sunbrella, zippers. So far I have left the machine at home and handsewn. Boat not big enough to bring everything.
I ordered waxed twine that I use for wrapping large bundles of tree trimmings. The twine is very strong, and the wax holds the twine together instead of slipping. Very fair price, came right away. Good communication
I received the Sailrite catalog! Catalog arrived just in time as I am closing on a sailboat at the end of March 2018.
New saloon cushions are one of the first projects!
Thanks again for the catalog.
I have ordered from Sailrite on 3 occasions so far. The order is shipped and arrives in great time, their products are top quality and I LOVE the how-to video library. I have a couple of friends who are do-it-yourselfers and have saved a LOT of money making their own boat canvas work and curtains. They recommended Sailrite to us. I have nothing but praise for Sailrite!
