Nice work CC. I'm impressed mate.
Do you like the LZ1..?
Matt-
I was pretty surprised at how well the LZ1 sewed. One of the neat features of the LZ1 is the ability to move the Needle bar left, right or center. The LS1 dosent do this, I don't think. This makes sewing the zippers, taping and seams a bit easier. The only thing I wish they would change on the Sailrite machine is figure out a way to increase the height of the pressure foot while its up, it's pretty tight when your trying to get a zipper and several layers of material all lined up. I'm kinda old school, meaning I used the commercial Singers, Consew and Phaff machines back in the day. The problem with those machines, they take up a lot of room with the table, big motor and overall weight.
You have built a nice table to drop yours in and still maintain the compactness when you need it. I'm just too far from the boat for that to work for me.
You'll find its a lot easier to move material around when the table and machine bed are the same height. Also, if you have another table that can adjust to the same height of the table that holds the machine put it next to the fixed table at a 90 degree on the left side, this will help you a lot on big pieces of material your working on. Don has a pretty sweet set up, he posted pics on the Tips and Tricks side.
Have fun and good luck on your canvas project.
