First Look at using the Sailrite Fabricator for Bag Making
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2020
- ***UPDATE***. Since filming this video, I have learned that you can make adjustments to the presser foot which enables it to transition easily when sewing through different layers and thickness in the same seam. I will be talking about this as well as demonstrating in future videos.
=================================================================================
In this video I take a first look at using my newly purchased Sailrite Fabricator Industrial Walking Foot Sewing machine for bag making. I was first attracted to this machine by Sailrite's claim that you can threads ranging from General Purpose to V-138. My favorite thread to use is the Guttermann Mara 70 which is a Tex 40 thread. After making a few bags on the Fabricator with the Guttermann thread, I can tell you that Sailrite's claims are true. After doing a tiny bit of tweaking with my top thread and bobbin tensions and using a size 16 needle, I was able to run my thread beautiful without one instance of thread breakage or shredding. I am very pleased to be able to use my favorite thread in the Fabricator.
In the video, I will be sewing the Sunshine Crossbody Pouch by Bagstock Designs. But the focus of the video is not on constructing the bag, but on the machine's performance. You will see me sewing through various materials and thicknesses as I test the machine for materials I like to use in bag making.

Been watching all the videos for this machine and was not sure if this was right machine for bag making. This video sealed the deal for me and will be purchasing this machine , thank you for making this video!!
Wonderful! Have fun with your new machine and thanks for watching!
This is probably the most professionally produced and articulately concise demonstrations of the Fabricator on the Web. Truly an excellent fact filled instructional video. One thought is that you might have switched back to the original ridged foot after sewing the zipper to avoid slippage at the seams...
I am glad you liked the video. Thanks for your very kind comment and for watching!
What a wonderful machine for bag making. Your tutorials are wonderful, with such great detail. Thank you, for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Wow a beautiful machine! Enjoy!
Thanks!
That machine is a real beauty. May you have many happy years creating wonderful bags on her. Or him as you like. God bless you/
Thank you so much for your well wishes. She is a beauty and God Bless you as well!!
Today I just came across you video on the Fabricator and bag example. I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing. I have been researching the Fabricator and you have helped me to decide to go ahead and move on it.
After hours and days of research for another industrial (I have a Techsew 2600 Pro) that has a flatbed I came across your video. I wanted a workhorse that will sew anything I put underneath it and hopefully never have to buy another machine then I came across your video. Best detailed I’ve seen yet therefore I just purchased a Sailrite just like yours!! Thank you so much for your video.
Thanks for sharing from Atlanta Ga USA a nice machine. 👀 next time
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. I've been looking at the fabricator for awhile also. My main use will be canvas for tents and tipis. I have zero experience using any kind of sewing machine. I've watched a ton of sailrite videos and now I'm glad I found your channel!! I'm in Montana. If you were closer I'd pay for lessons!!! Lol.
Great video!! Thank you
Thank you! There are so many great sewing videos on YT that you do not need to pay for lessons! Best wishes in your search.
Thanks for the demo! I was impressed with how quiet it is
You are welcome! So far I am really liking it!
A very sewing machine also I love your bags...awesome....
Thank you so much 😊
Ahhh you got the machine I wanted. Due to space issues I could not get the fabricator. But I did get the leather works about a month ago, the table is very compact. Earlier today I also changed my thread, I went to a polyester 69 and I also used a sunshine tote for my test run and had no thread or tension issues. My machine came with a smoother foot (than original), but it still have grooves. So far so good :) I love my machine
Congratulations on your new machine and thanks for watching!
Love you, I’m getting mine any day. I’ll need your help
Congratulations!!!
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome and thanks for watching!
My machine is on its way!
Congrats! Sew exciting. Love your Presentation about this machine. It looks like a real beauty. I'm currently researching to purchase an industrial, so your vid is most timely. Thank you.
Best wishes in your search. You will be seeing more of this one in future videos.
Congrats on the new machine! I have the same machine - I just got in in January and I love it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you, I am very intersted in this machine.
It is a really nice machine!
It just seems like this machine would be perfect for bag making as it will handle what would be considered lightweight fabrics, for an industrial, all the way up to thick leather. Plus the ability to easily change feet for me is a big plus as I love to add piping to my bags so a piping foot is a plus.
I agree...thanks for watching!
I bought mine last night.
Congratulations! Thanks for watching!
I have research this machine along with others. This one is definitely staying at the top of my list. I do still have a few questions that hopefully once answered will help me make my choice. This machine right now though is the winner.
Really helpful to see the machine working.........want to find a video with the rugged bottom foot to see how it handles the numerous layers of fabric.
Demo was definitely helpful.
😊
Since filming this video, I have learned that you can make an adjustment to the presser foot which enables the foot to make the transitions when sewing over different layers of fabric. I will be talking about that in future videos and demonstrating it as well.
Thanks for the video! I’m considering a Sailrite. The only thing irritating is the whine of the machine. The Juki doesn’t seem to have that sound. I wish you the best of luck with your machine!
Thank you for commenting. The sound does not bother me too much. It reminds me a little of my mother’s 1950s Singer. There really is no perfect machine. I have 3 industrials and there are things I like and dislike about each one. Best wishes for your search in finding the right machine for you and thanks for watching.
So glad I ran across this video. I've been wanting to upgrade to an industrial machine and start making bags. I was wondering what type of needle are you using?
I'm so glad I found your video. Great information on the different feet, thread and tension. What size of needle did you use? Why didn't you use a heavier thread? Thank you great video!😉
I was using a size 16 needle with Gutterman Mara 70 thread. That is my favorite thread and prefer it over heavier threads. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I would definitely use a different foot, so that it can grip the material better. It looks like material is wedging the foot up, meanwhile the foot isn't able to grip the material.
Thanks for this video Rosie! Do you have to hold your tails each time you start a new row of stitches? My LZ1 Sailrite I have to do this and it drives me crazy and slows me down.
Hi, Rosie! Thank you so much for this video. Yours is my favorite channel! I’m interested in getting an industrial sewing machine for bag-making and I love the looks of the Fabricator. Was it difficult to put together?
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Buying an industrial is a big decision. I have been looking at the Fabricator for a couple of years. You will be seeing it a lot more in my videos. It was not hard at all...just took some time since I only had a little bit of help. But I did it. Sailrite has videos that walk you through every step. The are public on YT, so you can watch them before you buy. Best wishes on making a decision!
Rosie's Art Studio Thank you! I look forward to seeing more in your future videos. 😊
Do you still like your Fabricator? My sister uses that machine in her business sewing horse bareback pads, along with the Adler cylinder machine. She's used the Fabricator for about 7 years now.
Yes…the Fabricator is a very nice machine. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. I’ve been contemplating an industrial machine and this is a new brand to me. Do you find the “ whine” sound of the sewing action to be a distraction or tiring??? Your bags are beautiful btw.
The sound of the machine reminds me of my mother’s old 1950s Singer. I do not find it bothersome at all. Thanks for watching!
You could use a hump-jumper? To transition thick to thin
Yes you can! Thanks for watching!
Hi my name is Kiva. I just wanted to say that I appreciate all your videos. I was wondering what your thoughts are on which industrial sewing machine you prefer for bag making. The Juki 8000a or the sailrite fabricator? If you had to choose one to start with? You are the only person that I have found that has two of the different sewing machines that I have been considering. Also I was looking at the Juki NA 11 ut a.
Question I have a Fabricator machine and bought it to make bags. I have a problem with sewing in zippers. When I do the pivot turn it some times leave a skipped stitch look. Is there a trick as to where the process of completing a complete stitch? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for video I bought my Fabricator not to long ago and using the foot that came with it and the narrow foot and still have difficulty going over humps where my D rings are :( why u make look easy ??
Can it sew a huge bag, like a travel bag, with leather, canvas, and cork, because the arm of the machine is really important, in order to put the material through as you're sewing. Some indistrial can't do that.
The machine has an average amount of throat space.
Nice video. Curious to know if the Gutterman thread 70 is polyester or coton?
It is 100% Polyester. Thanks for watching!
Hi Rosie! Can you give me an update on the Fabricator. Do you still like it? Do you still own it? I'm in the market for an industrial machine and I've heard the Juki 1541 is the best for bag making. I do love the materials and support of the fabricator as well. Thanks!
I see it's been a while since you've purchased your machine, may I ask how are you liking it now? I'm considering getting one in the future for bag making as well
it is a very nice machine. I have three industrials, so it is not tithe only one I use. Thanks for watching.
can you sew thinner fabrics like quilt cotton?
Does this machine come with a table and what do you do if it needs serving?
Yes it does. You can view Sailrite's packages on their website. When you get an industrial machine, it is good to learn how to do the servicing yourself. If not, call around in your area to see if there is anyone who can service it for you.
Hi Rosie! Thank you for a great video and thread explanation. Is this machine USA made? Why did you choose this machine over a Juki Industrial?
The company is in the US. It has been family owned for many years. The customer service has been excellent and they have a very good YT channel with instructional videos for their machines. I wanted to buy from a US company and I would have to wonder whether I would get the same customer service with a Juki. Plus this machine runs my favorite thread beautifully which is not easy for most industrial walking foot machines to do.
I purchased this machine in January for bag making. It is made in the US - in Indiana I believe. I chose the Fabricator over a Juki because of Sailrite's excellent customer service. They have loads of videos to help you in your decision making.
Rosie, what is the thread you use and where do you purchase from?
It is the Gutterman Mara 70 and I purchase it from Wawak.
Did you have to adjust your presser foot height? Mine is too high to move fabric through and I can't get them to come down 😞
I set everything up the way the instructions said to and have not had any issues.
I’m interested in this machine for bag making and occasional leather sewing. When sewing leather it is important to have the ability to sew into the same holes when back stitching. You don’t want to create any unnecessary needle holes. I hope I’m communicating my concern clearly. Can you tell me your opinion on the ease of accomplishing this? Thank you.
Great video by the way.
I totally agree about having the ability to have your needle enter the previous stitching holes precisely. This machine is still new to me and I have not done anything with leather yet. But, Sailrite has many great videos and you may find the answer to your question there.
Sailrite has a leather foot and an open foot, so to speak, so you can see better. I have a hard time with the 1/8th inch so that was their recommendation.
Hi Rosie, are you still using this machine?
I love this machine. It will sew through almost anything. But recently the fabric moves fwd and backward instead of always going fwd all the time
If you are having issues, you can contact Sailrite. They have excellent customer service. Thanks for watching!
Is this the standard verison?
It is the Deluxe. The machine is the same as the Standard, but the Deluxe has and upgraded table, etc.
I just purchased this machine but the knee lift is really hard to lift. Any suggestions? I will be sewing bags as well.
Considering the fragility of my bone, no one can be weaker than I am. I had great difficulty in the beginning using the knee lift but you get used to it and it does become easier. Make sure your leg is positioned to best push the lever. I found, being so weak, it mattered where on the side of the knee I pushed the lift. I'm sure most people don't even think about it. Now if only I didn't have so much trouble turning the balance wheel. It doesn't help I am left handed
@@lindas918 Oh no that much be a pain for sure!
What needle are you using?
I typically use a size 16 needle.
How about organic cotton thread? I know organic cotton is much stronger than regular cotton thread. Could it handle that type of thread?
Probably, but I have never used it so I can not say for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@RosiesArtStudio thank you, but sadly it doesn’t work. I have literally had my Sailright Fabricator for one week, and I have spent this entire time figuring out how to make it work and it just won’t. I was able to make successful stitches; however, the needle keeps breaking the thread whenever I pull out my fabric. I have tried adjusting the tension to changing my needles to ball point needles so the thread could avoid breaking due to the sharp needle; consequently, it made no difference.... I will be selling my machine since my sewing is predicated up organic cotton and natural fibers.
How does this machine handle vinyl?
It should be fine.
The Sailrite machines were created for the purpose of sewing boat sails and upholstery. It can handle many layers of leather & marine vinyls.
Is this machine as quiet as that claim? Do you still like it?
I like this machine very much. The noise level is subjective, so what may seem quiet to one person may seem loud to another. The machine does make a whirring sound which you can hear in the video. I have found that some people object to the whirring sound. It does not bother me….it reminds me of my mother’s 1950s Singer. Thanks for watching.
Sorry, I just found it. Thank you
Are you still using the sailrite for bag making?
Yes, I still use the Fabricator. I just have not done any videos with it lately. Thanks for watching!
Not sure why the foot was not changed.
