Mechanical walking presser foot that moves forward and back in time with the feed dog
Sewn stitches can be made extra long (up to 6mm) with the variable stitch length mechanism
Excellent power is provided by a 110 VAC motor that develops 6600 rpm at 1.5 amps and a cogged belt and pulley drive system
A special large diameter balance wheel (the PowerPlus wheel) slows the machine down and dramatically enhances power
The Posi-Pin is a patent pending direct drive mechanism that results in 100% power transfer from the balance wheel to the machine's needle

Product Description
The Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1 sewing machine features a mechanical walking presser foot that moves forward and back in time with the feed dog to ensure that the layers of fabric are consistently moving together through the machine. The result is that heavy, bulky and even sticky fabrics like leather and window material are easily sewn with consistently symmetrical stitch lengths. Sewn stitches can be made extra long (up to 6mm) with the variable stitch length mechanism. This reduces needle pucker for professional quality upholstery and canvas work. The Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1's walking foot with its aggressive bottom gripping surface creates a large, positive contact between the foot, the feed dog and the fabric itself. Walk over thick hems and make the transition from thick to thin without skipping stitches.
