Craftool® Pro Stitch Master® Sewing Machine by Sailrite® (110V)

We’ve teamed up with the experts at Tandy^® Leather to bring you a one-of-a-kind sewing machine for the avid and novice leatherworker! The foundation of the Craftool^® Pro Stitch Master^® Sewing Machine is based on our world-renowned, heavy-duty portable sewing machine, the Sailrite^® Ultrafeed^®. We’ve taken steps in collaboration with Tandy to tailor our high-quality, tried-and-true design to meet the unique needs of DIY leatherworkers and the result is the Stitch Master. This machine is an economical, entry-level leather sewing machine backed by top-notch features, accessories and customer support.

Does your leatherwork require uniform, perfectly even stitchwork and you want a faster alternative to hand stitching? Look no further. The Stitch Master Sewing Machine features a powerful, straight stitch walking foot sewing machine in a space-saving stationary setup. You can try this machine out in person and purchase it directly at any Tandy Leather location, or we can ship it anywhere in the world from our Sailrite warehouse.

What Can I Sew?

If you’re looking for an economical way to delve into the world of leather crafting, choose the Stitch Master. Utilize the Stitch Master for sewing leather bags, belts, wallets and more! This machine is ideal for crafters wanting to sew soft to medium leather up to 16 ounces or 1/4-inch total thickness. You can use thread up to V-92 (Tex 90) and needles up to #22 with this machine, although we recommend V-92 Polyester and #20 DI Leather Needles for most applications.

• Upholstery leather
• Suede
• Veg tan leather

Machine Features

We recommend this machine to anyone looking to predominantly sew leather while saving money and space with a more compact stationary footprint. The Stitch Master is a cut above the rest thanks to the following:

• Mistakes in leather can be costly and leave permanent holes, meaning you might have to start over or scrap your whole project. To make every stitch count, the Stitch Master utilizes a built-in speed reducer for slow, precise stitch-by-stitch power. This is especially useful for first-time crafters getting the hang of things.
• The machine’s knurled presser feet are designed for sewing leather without marring. Additional smooth-bottom feet and feed dogs can be purchased for the most delicate surfaces.
• The walking foot design allows you to easily transition through varying layers of material.
• Sewing materials such as upholstery, canvas, denim and waxed canvas is even better with the purchase of additional presser feet and feed dogs.
• Any accessory available on our site that is compatible with the Ultrafeed^® LS-1 Sewing Machine will fit this machine, such as our magnetic sewing guides, binder attachments, specialty feet and more!

Stitch Master Construction

This machine features a compact stationary table setup for more stability and control while you work. The Stitch Master head fits snugly within its custom lacquered wood tabletop. The sturdy steel legs provide a lasting, secure setup, and the table’s integrated foot treadle powers the machine. With this space-saving assembly, you’ll have the perfect amount of work area for leather crafting along with the freedom to move the setup around your shop if you need to.

The strong, cast-iron Stitch Master head is exceptional in every way. The casting and internal component molds have been carefully designed by Sailrite to produce a more robust machine and ensure quality. These molds are used exclusively for our machine production, promising quality stitching and a long machine life. Both the internal and external components are made using only the highest quality materials for exceptional performance.

Full Power & Control

The Stitch Master Package includes the Sailrite^® Power Plus^® Flywheel for slow speed power and control. It enables you to sew leather and other thick assemblies at comfortably slow speeds without power loss. Our Workhorse^® Servo Motor and a set of cogged belts power the machine in combination with a pulley drive system. This pulley drive system is the built-in speed reducer attached to the underside of the tabletop. Much like how a pulley system can help lift a heavy object, the pulley drive system on the Stitch Master enhances low speed torque. The Power Plus Flywheel, Workhorse Servo Motor, two-belt drive system and built-in speed reducer all work together to slow down the machine for precise, controlled stitching. At the same time, these mechanisms provide immense power, allowing the machine’s needle to pierce leather effortlessly.

This machine features Sailrite’s patented Posi-Pin^® Clutching System (Patent #7438009). This proprietary technology provides 100% power transfer from the motor to the upper drive shaft, ultimately powering the needle. This system eliminates clutch slippage, which robs sewing machines of power when sewing heavy materials. It also makes winding bobbins quick and easy. Pulling the pin out makes the machine stop working so you can wind bobbins without powering the needle. This is an excellent added safety feature as well.

A Sailrite exclusive, the Workhorse Servo Motor is a 550 watt, 3/4 horsepower servo motor designed for continuous use on industrial sewing machines. This quiet, energy-saving motor features a 12 coil design, which creates smooth motor rotation and a fluid motor to machine power transfer. A brushless motor, the Workhorse provides high torque even from a complete stop! This servo motor also offers fully adjustable speed settings, which let you set your top sewing speed while maintaining variable speed control. Variable speed settings range from stitch-by-stitch up to 412 stitches per minute. This motor works in conjunction with our oversized Power Plus Flywheel for optimal performance. Factor in the built-in speed reducer for careful, precise stitching and you have a machine ready for your next big leather project!

Simple, Straightforward Sewing

The Stitch Master’s interchangeable feet and feed dog give you the ability to sew a wide range of materials. The machine comes equipped with specially designed leather/delicate feet and feed dog with knurled teeth that will not mar most leatherwork. The mechanical walking presser foot works with the feed dog to pull thick layers of leather and other materials through the machine at consistent speeds for symmetrical stitching. This walking foot is ideal for tackling different layers and varying thicknesses of leather as it can climb over them with ease. This makes it incredibly versatile!

The EZ Set™ Stitch Length Plate helps to keep stitch length consistent when switching from forward to reverse. Switching directions is made quick and easy by the spring-loaded stitch length lever. Easily maintain your stitch placement with 1/4-inch, 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch and 1-inch markings right on the needle plate.
