The Solent Leisure Pro Sewing Machine with Essentials package features our long arm, heavy duty, portable, straight stitch &zigzag, walking foot sewing machine with the essential items needed to get you sewing immediately.

For extra portability, please see the Solent Leisure Pro Carry Bag HERE.

Sew a wide range of bulky and technical fabrics such as canvas / acrylic (ie. Sunbrella or Sauleda), PVC, sail cloth, leather, leather look fabrics, curtains (even tricky heading tapes) denim and upholstery fabrics plus many other types..

The Solent Leisure Pro has a longer 215mm (8.5") underarm space so can accommodate larger pieces than most other portable machines.

The sturdy wooden base has handy holes to make moving this robust machine easy. A convenient storage compartment in the base keeps all your tools and accessories together.

For added protection when storing and transporting in a boat / van / camper, we recommend the Solent Leisure Pro Carry Bag which is specifically designed to cushion the machine from knocks that might occur.

Powerful

The Solent Leisure Pro comes with a heavy metal hand wheel as standard, driven by a 220–240 VAC motor (50/60Hz 0.45Amps) and a cogged belt and pulley drive system. Operate using the fully grounded, variable speed, electronic foot control with UK 3-pin plug (for Europe / outside UK an adapter can be fitted - not included).

Locked Wheel

Solent Leisure Pro has a locked clutch system to stop the clutch from slipping while sewing heavy fabrics. To wind a bobbin simply loosen the bolt with the supplied tool.

Simple, Straight Forward Sewing

The wide walking presser foot works with the feed dog to pull thick layers of fabric through the machine evenly top and bottom, in both forward and reverse.

Stitch Length is consistent when switching from forward to reverse. Stitch length is locked with 2 locks to leave both hands free for handling the fabric.

Portable

The tough Leisure Pro has a strong, robust construction but is still portable for use around your home, on the patio, pontoon or camper van.

Sewing Capabilities

The Leisure Pro features a 9.5mm (3/8”) high foot lift and long needle bar stroke, so you can sew just about anything you can fit under the sewing foot. The Leisure Pro will easily sew through fabrics like:

Heavy canvas
Sailcloth

Vinyl
Window material

Hard leathers such as belts, dog leads etc

We will be adding FAQ's about use and maintenance here.

FAQ and Tips

All instructions assume you are sat facing the sewing machine unless directed otherwise.

Which way round should the needle be?

The needle has a long groove down 1 side and a cut out (scarf) down the opposite side - your needle should be inserted with the long groove facing left and the cut-out facing right.
The needle should be inserted as far into the needle holder as it can be.

Which way should I thread the needle?
