Thank you for making and posting the video. I have undecided about purchasing a really, really expensive Lsz, or one of the similar machines for much less.
I was really torn, too. I pondered this for probably a year. In the end, I'm glad I didn't spend so much on a machine. I rarely use it. For the many projects and repairs I've done with it, it's been great. Nothing has broken or gone out of adjustment. If this was something I'd use daily or even weekly, I might have sprung for the more expensive one.
Where did you find the base for the machine or did you make it yourself? The Sailrite's carry case is very well built, however is quite expensive, so I have been looking for an good-quality alternative. Thanks in advance.
Hey, so I want to upgrade my sewing machine and am looking to buy this same model, glad I found your video......Do you think the needle is too thick for stuff like fleece hoodies and denim?
Thanks for watching my video. I'm no expert on this. I just throw whatever repair I have at it. So far, I've been able to make it all work. But I can tell you some of the materials I've sewn using the needle it came with. Denim: Hemmed the bottom of pant legs. Cotton t-shirt, medium weight: Sewed the underside of a ripped sleeve. Thick textile: Replaced the zipper on my motorcycle jacket. Layered nylon: Sewed backpack strap. Canvas tarp: hemmed and sewed nylon straps onto the tarp. Tow straps and heavy duty ratchet straps (10,000 lb). Leather: sewed replacement Velcro onto motorcycle gloves. Leather jacket: sewed a decorative patch onto leather.
Some of the parts that are from nailright will be different. You will have to modify the rex parts to fit. Also there is no video on how to set presser foot timing. Nailright does not tell you every trick.

I had to make it myself a case with a top handle would be nice. But yeah, too expensive.
@Redneck Oriental did you add a pair of pin hinges to enable you to tilt backward the machine and access the bobbin?
@@JWTrexler2011 No, I didn't. I have small hands. I can reach in there from the top. But hinges would have been smart.
stitches leather? if so how thick? and what is the thickest thread you can use?
What's the thickest thread it will run?

Great edit !
Thanks! It's the first time I tried that zoom in and out transition at the end. Quite proud of that.

I can not hear how the machine sounds because of the music.
I sounds like this, "clicky click clicky click... whooooosh... blap"
yeth
