TuffSew Zig-zag sewing-like Sailrite

I don't know how I became the sewing machine person at our marina, but nonetheless, I have another for sale. It's a clone (the PO put Sailrite stickers on it) of the zig-zag stitch LSX-1 Sailrite. Not as refined and comes in a cheap plastic case, but works extremely well. We've tested it on a few different fabrics, and doing a blind test, I can't tell a difference vs our Sailrite.

Item is located in Indiantown Fl.
Price is $250 obo

Just a few bobbins and needles. Nothing too exciting.

Re: TuffSew Zig-zag sewing-like Sailrite

I'm not sure if anyone has solved the inverted photo issue on this site. It seems only certain devices have the problem. If you've figured it out, mind sharing the fix?

It's a walking foot. Sailrite and Tuffsew are based off the same machine... it's just that sailrite refines the casting.

Sorry Tafa it has sold. But to answer your question, it does use Sailrite's accessories.
