Wow, it's a perfect video to explain tension on a sewing machine. Everybody should watch this. Thank you.

This video solved my problems on my new sewing machine. I completed a work order because I thought it was the machine. I was so happy to fix the problem from watching the video. Thank you 🙏!!

Thanks a million! I thought it was something I was doing. It’s big learning curve and your videos are a great help. Great machine!

It's videos like this that sold me on the Ultrafeed machine for marine canvas work. Thanks, Sailrite!

I would like a video on setting bottom (bobbin) tension. I just got my machine back from a factory service which is very expensive because of shipping. The first thing I did was check how they set the tension. It was significantly tighter than common wisdom for setting bobbin tension. Other videos say "you don't need to worry about setting it... but obviously stick quality is highly dependant on dealing this tension in properly. It seems to me that if the tension is too light, the thread will float on top of the fabric. Of course--if fabric floating above the surface of the fabric is caused by another issue... please include that .

Fantastic!!! I have the blue one which I used to make purses/bags. Great machine and great customer service!!!!!

I'm so glad I saw this video! I just started to put my LSZ-1 together (after letting it sit in the corner for over a year, untouched) and I discovered what was wrong with the old machine I threw away. Simple adjustments. Now with this new one I can do all the projects that I am planning. Sailboat rebuild, sail making, furniture rebuild and upholstery, light leather work but first new cushions for the mission chair I made. Great video. Thanks. It's also nice that I live only 15 miles from your shop.

Your theory is good for clothe, i have that same machine using leather to do wallets, multiple layers with leather, tension adjust is a headache.

Nice looking machine and guide book, wish they made a cylinder arm machine as well!

I love the videos and a different rolex on every video.. :)

Sailrite rocks.

Wish there had been an example of too loose and too tight lower bobbin thread to show how to trouble shoot between top and bottom adjustments.

Awesome thanks 🙏🏻 the Decorative cap had me all messed up - or + ugh taking it off and losing it up and just slowly tighten saving me from pulling my hair out!!!

Your a life savor

Do you ever have a situation where the tension seems too high on upper thread (showing knots on top stitch) but as soon as you back it off a hair it then loops on top? Bottom looks good. I've swapped needles (#18), and replaced the spring cap on bobbin carrier assembly as well as clean and oil the assembly. I'm using a V69 Poly thread, 18 needle on 500D cordura. Acts the same w 600D Ottertex or a combination of the 2. I'm leaning towards a cheap chinese thread as the culprit, don't seem to be an issue when I use a Bonded nylon v69 T70 thread, same set up as above. Thanks for all of your help. EDIT: LSZ1

So why did you not show the symptoms when the bobbin leaf spring is too loose or too tight. On my other home use sewing machine the directions were to hold the thread and snap it with a downward motion similar to using a yo-yo. It should spool out about 4 inches of thread. Is this a good rule of thumb for the lsz1?

Is an 18 needle appropriate for 92 thread? I can’t seem to get proper tensioning on the bottom with especially doubling canvas or even quadrupling

Casi todo bien en las características. Solo me detiene a comprarlas que no tiene puntadas del num 8. Qué me proponen?

Can someone please confirm (because I don't want to mess up my settings too much), counterclockwise loosens the pressure foot tension and clockwise tightens? Righty tighty lefty loosey? This is not spelled out in the manual (unless I overlooked it). Thanks!

“Righty-tightie. Lefty-loosie.” Turning the dial (or most screws) clockwise, or to the right, tends to tighten things. Turning counter clockwise (to the left) will loosen.

I want by this mesin how

So much help on this video. I bought the ls1 4 months ago and each time I do the sewing i can see knots on both sides especially when am sewing two layers of ripstop fabric or any other thick fabric. Does this mean that both tensions are ok? From Africa Zambia!!

How much is the utlrafeed machine?

Is there a warranty?

Re threaded and reinstalled bobin 5 times, top stitch looks good bottom is a rats nest, so frustrated, just got machine. V92 thread #18 needle, cant figure out what is wrong

Thank you for your educational videos! One thing I noticed, your machine is quiet... mine is soooo loud! I don't know why?

Thread rival up Rex 607

I keep getting stuck with an extra loop at the end of sewing under the piece every so often.

Does the speed you run affect the tension?

What causes the thread to rival up?

:)

Nothing but snapping thread. No difference regardless of thread, needle or tension. I am at wits end.

First. Nevera Buy a chinesse machine like sailrite. Made in china painted in other color. Crapp
