Hey Sir, I thank you for getting back to me on this. I will call Sailrite on this and I will go back to the drawing board on threading the Fabricator. Threading it is, for the most part, fairly simple and I'm pretty sure I do it correctly. But, who knows? I'll recheck. Thanks again. SR
Good evening Sir, I just purchased, received and am beginning to use a brand new Sailrite Fabricator. I too got the Deluxe package. I originally aimed for the Standard package but they were out of stock at the time I really got interested. So, I bit the bullet and ordered the Deluxe. Am I glad I did, wow! So far, in the very limited amount of time I've spent on it, it's everything you say it is and more. Maybe it's just me, the sign of the times and being around new era sewing of automotive, residential and commercial upholstery but, I really like the looks of BIGGER thread! I had a 13 year old Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1 up until about a week ago. The max thread it would sew was V-92 but was/is more atuned to V69. I wanted at least to be able to use V-138. Well, enter the Fabricator. In their ads and videos, they, at Sailrite, emphasize that the Sailrite Fabricator will "Easily" handle V-138. Well, yes, it does handle it but, and this is what get's my goat, I cannot for the life of me, get the tension correct when using V-138. No matter how tight I adjust the upper tension knob, and even release tension on the bobbin, I cannot get that bottom knot to pull through the material! The bottom knot just sits partially embedded in the bottom stitching. Anyway, sorry for the rant, I appreciate you taking the time to do a good video on a fantastic machine. So far, I'm loving it as I knew I would. Thanks again.
Call Sailrite! They are great at handling customer issues. This is the first company in a long time that has impressed me so much with their customer service and true interest in getting things right. On a more personal note, go back through the threading....every issue I have ever had with my Fabricator was caused by me missing something in the threading. I was always positive I had it right, then wen t back through the process and found an error on my part, every time.

One of these days I’ll get this. I ordered the sail rite leatherwork. That’s about the max I wanted to spend. If I ever upgrade, this is my machine!
Hands down the best review. You sold me.
Wow, that's a machine. Can wait to see how my next wing bags will look like. I'll have something for you soon.

Thanks for the review, love it! There is a Fabricator in the near future for me and I'm beyond excited.
I am happy I bought the Fabricator every time I use it, which is several times every day.
Thank you for sharing.
