I ordered a new Fabricator , the attachments and a few other items to get 200.00 off . Waiting to redo my truck seats

You are going to love that machine!

Nice! @hapyrdr did you use a code for the discount? Can you share with everyone what you had to do to get the discount?

I have had the Sailrite 111 which is basically the same as the fabricator for 4 years. Awesome machine ! I defiitly would buy another one. Zero problems since I set it up

use save4may (good till May 11) discount is up to 200.00 on 1500.00 purchase so I added some accessories to top out at 1500.00 otherwise it is 125.00 for a 1000.00 to 1499.99 purchase. I just added 100.00 worth to almost get those items free Hope this makes sense

I had a consew years ago and always had trouble with the clutch . Being a car guy I always have use for the machine . learning a lot John Thanks

Thanks for sharing the discount! Totally makes sense. I'm a sucker for good deal like that as well!

I would buy any accessory that I could ad to my machine that stopped the needle in the DOWN position and I could get more sewing time out of the bobbin system.

@BigRig
I'm envious, at least you are sewing enough to run your bobbin dry.

Does your machine take and M bobbin or G bobbin. Some machines take M bobbins those are about 1/3 bigger than G bobbins.

They make it. They are called Servo motors w/ needle position. I don't know how they work . Ive never used one. If you already have a servo motor you might be able to just buy a needle positioner for it.

My bobbin is a G. I put a servo motor on this machine and am going to look at amazon for the needle positioner. I am getting better at remembering needle down. It really is serious business kinda like slipping off a cliff when that fabric pulls away.

I am emptying a few bobbins Bondo, it is slow going but once these seats are done I am onto a air ride seat for a Kenworth T600. I am just not sure what vinyl to run for a daily operating Truck like this.

Yeah that would be a good question BigRig, I would say contract vinyl since its usually for heavy traffic in commercial places and it has the highest rubs ratings.

Yeah like Bondo said. Something with a high rub rating.
