i also used the wing divider to give me a line to aim for, because corners can be tricky. Marking a guideline and using the magnetic edge guide may be redundant, but it helps me avoid mistakes.
We don't have any plans like that for the fabricator at the moment, but we receive numerous requests for cylinder arm machines, so that's certainly something we're considering.
@@SailriteWorkbench I'm looking to make the move from hand sewing and the Fabricator is really my first pick. I am just not sure I would have the skill level to do gussets on it.
Gussets are tricky no matter what, even when hand sewing. I would recommend practicing on fabric or cheaper leather, using a good adhesive to keep everything tightly together, and fine-tuning your pattern so that everything lines up properly. For me, gussets and zippers were intimidating, but the only way to learn is to give it a try and be patient with yourself. You got it!
Yes, absolutely. Just make sure you are using leather needles. You may also want to buy a smooth presser foot set so that there are no marks left in the leather after you sew it. Best of luck on your projects! www.sailrite.com/Smooth-Foot-Set-for-Sailrite-Ultrafeed-LSZ-Sewing-Machine
Haven’t watched for a while but the video production has truly been stepped up here. Well done!
Thanks!!!
Ok...what tool did you use to curve the corners on your blue wallet, please? Thank you!
Just a magnetic edge guide. The sailrite branded one of course.
@@LordoftheGrunts Thanks! I just happen to have one of those!

Any plans on upgrading the fabricator to be more gusset friendly. Not necessarily a cylinder arm but some room to let you work around a gusset curve?

I have a Sailrite LSZ-1 sewing machine with a Worker B motor. Can I use it to sew leather?
Yes, absolutely. Just make sure you are using leather needles. You may also want to buy a smooth presser foot set so that there are no marks left in the leather after you sew it. Best of luck on your projects!
