New sewing machine

    I'm looking to get a new sewing machine soon. I'm looking at the Sailrite Fabricator and the NC1 by NC Carpet. I know that NC is a big Sponsor of this forum but there just isn't a lot of reviews or info about this machine on the internet. Just want to know if anyone has either one of these machines and what you like or don't like about them?

    Hi Kris good morning. The SEMA price on the NC1 is $1249 delivered no freight, no tax. We've sold a good 12 units to date, but have had a few come back. The quality is there but not comparable to the Juki 1541, NC6, NC1508NH all of which have higher quality parts. If you can afford those, that's the route I'd go for auto interiors. The NC1 is our first foray into the entry level walking foot sector and while it's not a bad machine, for my money I'd rather see my clients/potential clients step up to the others. I hope this helps a little. Forgive my late reply...i need to keep my eye on the forum with more frequency.

    Hey there Kris,

    I don’t know anything about the NC1, but I can certainly back up Mal Maher’s comment about the NC1508NH being a good machine, I have had mine for almost 2 years now and I absolutely love sewing on it. Probably my favourite part is how it goes through nice thick leather and produces consistent stitch lengths. The servo motor is so strong and consistent, and it has a speed dial that can be cranked way down for really fine work which I am a big fan of. Also the large bobbin has been a favourite feature of mine as it has me winding/changing bobbins far less often. If you can afford it, I would definitely recommend the NC1508NH. Also, I live in Canada, and despite being in a different country and never having met Mal, he and his team gave me first class service with no issues whatsoever. I have no affiliation with NC but I will recommend them to anyone any day due to the excellent service experience and the awesome machine I purchased from them. If you have any specific questions about the NC1508NH I am happy to answer what I can based on my experience with it thus far.
