Is Sailrite worth the money?
I’ve never had any problems with it and Sailrite support is solid. If you’re going to do all the stuff on your boat, you need zig-zag as well as straight stitch. It will punch through 10 thicknesses of Sunbrella and sew leather and window vinyl with ease. It was well worth the cost given that I’ve had few problems.
