Sailrite "Professional" Zigzag Commercial Walking Foot Machine with a cam making the zigzag a 4-point stitch. Complete with Stand and 1/2 hp Clutch Drive Motor. 4-Point Stitch (3-Step Stitch): Instead of a standard 2-point zigzag stitch this Sailrite Professional Sewing Machine is fitted with a cam making the zigzag a 4-point stitch. This is useful for spinnakers and one design sailmaking where it is desirable to reduce production time by stitching each seam only once.
The Professional is a full size, rotary machine that features a powered "Walking Foot" similar to the Ultrafeed’s but with a large hook and bobbin mechanism to reduce the frequency of bobbin winding and allow for the use of very heavy thread. It sews a 5mm long straight stitch and a 10 mm wide zigzag stitch. Maximum sewing speed is 2500 stitches per minute. It has reversing capability.
Use the Professional for heavy materials and thick fabric assemblies as well as light to medium work. It is an excellent choice for everything from spinnakers to 10oz storm sails.

Commercial Stand Table This is the traditional way a commercial sewing machine is powered. It provides a very solid sewing platform on which to work. The table surface is 22" deep by 47" wide. Leg height is adjustable from 27 to 31 inches. The cutout for the machine head is 7 1/8" by 18 7/8".
Popular Options:
There is also an optional switchable cam to make this machine produce a standard 2-point zigzag (see below). Changing from 4 to 2-point zigzag stitching is easy. See the related products below for more details.
Order the "Presser Foot Lifting Treadle" for an easy and quick way to lift the machine's presser foot. This kit eliminates the need to reach behind the machine head and use the hand lever or to use the cumbersome knee lift linkage that comes standard with a Professional machine. Just depress the foot treadle and the presser foot rises. And the maximum foot height increases from about 8mm using the hand lever to 11mm with this kit. See the related products below for more details.
