Sailrite Fabricator Sewing Machine Part 1 - Unboxing, Assembly & First Impressions

Join us as we unbox, and assemble the Sailrite Fabricator Industrial Sewing Machine. (deluxe model)The Fabricator is a compound needle feed, walking foot, class 18, style industrial sewing machine with common M style bobbin system. Perfect for sewing chaps. I'm extremely impressed with the fit and finish of the machine stand and table top. Even more so impressed with unique "workhorse" servo motor and direct drive system.

In part one of this video series we introduce ourselves, unbox and assemble the machine, then sew with it for the first time. Kim is a complete sewing and sewing machine Newbie. Please find the chapter markers in the video to skip ahead. Thanks for watching.

For those that don't know, at BuckarooGear, a large majority of our business is custom Leggins (chaps, chinks, armitas). After sewing and using the same class 18 sewing machine for 20+ years, I've decided I need to a backup machine, not to mention my wife Kim has grown in her leather-craft journey to where she needs access to a sewing machine as well. - Now Enter Sailrite; Sailrite is a company based in Columbia City, Indiana, US.. Sailrite has been in the sewing machine business since 1969.
