Flying the spinnaker for the first time this year. We couldn't have done this without Martha's brilliant repair work with the amazing Sailrite machine. Sailing people are the best people

These new machines have to be designed to fit a particular price point. While this is true for the older machines as well, materials science wasn’t at the point where you could make them absurdly cheap (disclaimer: they probably did, but those units didn’t survive to this day, see: survivorship bias).
I have a Singer 99k portable from 1922, which, adjusted for inflation, would cost $1,400+ today (source: ismacs.net average new cost of $77). If you’re spending that much on a machine, it’s your primary hobby or for business.
While these new machines are less durable, they are able to do the same or more work for a lower cost. If you look hard enough, you can find a very similar machine, for a similar price. The one I found is the Sailrite Ultrafeed LS. Portable machine, metal body, and a portable base that matches the Model 99.


I realized I never answered your question after falling down this wonderful rabbit hole, so: I’d say that it depends. If you’re an engineer designing sewing machines, then you’re probably designing more than just the cheap ones. If anything, the super cheap ones are funding your ability to be able to design better quality machines for those higher prices that may not sell very many.
And a gratuitous picture of the 99 with knee lever and accessories to satisfy the tax:


Do you think the people who design modern sewing machines in plastic cases ever feel insignificant because of it? knowing that they're making machines with the lifespan of a dog when they could (if they'd been born a few generations earlier) be making machines with the lifespan of a Galapagos tortoise?
#I had a lot of fun looking all this up#and now I know that I can repair my sails with my 99#sewing machine#singer#quality#quality: in a zen and motorcycle repair sense

Outdoor Fabric by the yard? | outdoor fabrics
If you're looking to purchase outdoor fabric by the yard, there are several options you can consider:

1. Fabric Stores : Many fabric stores, both physical and online, offer a variety of outdoor fabrics. Stores like outdoorfabrics.co.in and Sailrite have sections dedicated to outdoor and weather resistant fabrics.
2. Specialty Outdoor Stores : Stores that specialize in outdoor furniture or supplies often carry outdoor fabrics. They may have a selection suitable for cushions, awnings, umbrellas, and other outdoor applications.
3. Online Marketplaces : Websites like Amazon, Etsy, and eBay have a wide range of outdoor fabrics available for purchase by the yard. You can find different patterns, colors, and materials to suit your specific needs.
4. Outdoor Furniture Retailers : Stores that sell outdoor furniture often sell fabric by the yard as well, especially if they offer customization options for cushions and covers.
5. Local Upholstery Shops : Upholstery shops sometimes carry outdoor fabric or can order it for you. They may also offer services like custom sewing if you need specific sizes or designs.

When choosing outdoor fabric, consider factors like durability (especially against UV rays and moisture), ease of cleaning, and the specific application (e.g., cushions, pillows, curtains). Reading reviews and checking specifications can help ensure you choose the right fabric for your project.

The Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl can be used when a sewing machine is not available or practical. Here we will sew up some webbing on a sailboat's tack corner to make a "dog ear". Then we will show how to use the speedy stitcher sewing awl to sew canvas using a lighter sewing machine thread rather than the heavier wax twine that comes with the Speedy Stitcher.
For more information on the Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl: http://www.sailrite.com/Speedy-Stitch...

I made a new windlass cover using the sewing awl I bought online! Took about a day and a half and has boosted my confidence to attempt some bigger projects.

Today’s Repairs
Have a quirk with the engine on my bass boat I need to get it looked at. I also have to install new fender bunks for the bass boat. I re-upholstered the seats in my Grady White and did some other upholstery work, so I bought a long nose stapler. The one I am using can be found at Sailrite.com. I am not on any kind of deal with Sailrite, but I will tell you they have great stuff! I own one of…
