| Sailrite LSZ Walking Foot Sewing Machine | $800-1500 (NPO discount?) | Craft Room | Many members have requested a more industrial sewing machine for heavy canvas/backpacks/leather | https://www.sailrite.com/Sailrite-Ultrafeed-LSZ-Walking-Foot-Sewing-Machine-110V | ~$500 of funding is earmarked for this purchase. We should consider calling SailRite and asking if they offer any discounts for NPOs. In the meantime, we have been using Alex's Speed Stitch Awl, which has been fine for small projects with limited numbers of stitches. |
