Matt: The new LS-1 head arrived last week. I have had a chance to play with it and sew with it now. Wow, what a difference! This new machine chomps away like the proverbial "sewing machine." It runs smoothly, without the straining noises of the old one, and nothing seems to phase it. I have sewn 5 layers of 10 oz. canvas seams with it and the foot moves up and over it like nothing, even back stitching across the mass without missing a stitch. It is quite impressive, and, no tangles. It works perfectly!

I have never been around a machine with the power of this thing. Awesome! I must say that I am totally pleased with this new Sailrite and can brag on it too.

Your excellent customer service, that being of no questions asked concerning a replacement, makes the price of this machine cheap. I must say that I am totally satisfied with your macine and your company. Thanks agan for the prompt "no questions asked" service.

I can't wait to start my next project. This thing is actually fun!

Hi Chris,

I am not sure what #12 and #16 match up to. The military uses a lettering system where V-69 is E and V-92 is F but I am afraid I can't reference the numbers you are reading from the cones. Sorry.

Thanks, Matt

Posted: 14 March 2010 at 3:09pm

Hi Sam,

Unfortunately with Sunbrella, some puckering is normal. Just make sure you use as long of a stitch as necessary. What you are experiencing is needle pucker. In other words, just the entry of the needle causes some puckering. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Matt

The Sailrite 111 is abolutely perfect for leather upholstery.

Soft leather is no problem at all. The hard dry leather used in saddle work is very thick so the number of layers can increase the stack height quicky. 3/8" thickness is what I would estimate as practical using the Sailrite 111. Use V-92 thread and the needles that Dan recommended.

Thanks, Matt
