About this machine
The Sailrite Leatherwork is a compact table-mounted walking-foot machine tuned for leather work. Sailrite specifies systems 135x16 and 135x17 needles, a Class 15 / Style A bobbin, manual lubrication and speed control from roughly half a stitch per second up to 412 stitches per minute.
It is walking foot, not compound feed
Sailrite's own comparison separates the Leatherwork from the Fabricator. The Leatherwork uses a walking-foot feed, while the Fabricator uses compound walking foot feed. That distinction matters when comparing how the needle and feeding system control thick or layered work.
The bobbin is smaller than the Fabricator's
The Leatherwork uses a Class 15 / Style A bobbin. Sailrite specifies a large Style M bobbin for the Fabricator. Both machines accept 135x16 and 135x17 needles. That does not establish shared bobbins or feed mechanisms.
