The Monster Balance wheel #604U provides hand cranking capability when no electrical power is available. It also enhances power as the wheel weighs 8 pounds and increases inertia.

The Needle Accessory Package (#5343) includes needles in sizes 14, 16, 18 and 20. With ten needles of each size this assortment will last a long time.
A Kickstand (#100990A) for the Ultrafeed keeps the machine supported when tipped back in it's case.
The 1" Swing Binder (#100103) is Sailrite's most popular machine attachment. Use it in combination with any 1" trim material. It is most frequently used with acrylic binding tape but can also be used to fold 1 inch flat webbing. The binder folds the trim material in half over any raw material edge. Stitch placement is consistent and accurate with the aid of this device.

Load It - Make My Ultrafeed Sewing Machine Loaded is a railroaded pattern
Reduce Seaming with Railroaded Fabric
Most upholstery fabric is 54 inches wide and, if it features a pattern, the pattern is run down the length of the bolt. When upholstering, it generally looks best to run a patterned fabric from the top to the bottom of the piece and from the back to the front. This requires seams every 54 inches on larger pieces like sofas and long boat cushions. Alternatively, a Railroaded fabric pattern can be used to eliminated unwanted seams. The patterns in Railroaded Sunbrellas run across their widths. This makes Railroaded Sunbrella perfect for these longer projects.
In this illustration, the fabric rolls out to cover the cushions without need for a seam.
This is a photo example of the railroaded fabric coming off the roll.
This is a photo example of fabric that is not railroaded coming off the roll.
In this illustration the fabric rolls out vertically, and for this type of single cushion, would require several seams to cover the couch.
