Sailrite Sewing Machine Giveaway

I have a really, really awesome giveaway today…just so you know.

But, let me start from the beginning.  A couple of years ago, I was upholstering a channel back chair and I found the end of my rope with my $150 run-of-the-mill sewing machine.  Don’t get me wrong.  That inexpensive machine has served me so well (and it still does), but I was just asking too much of it and it was starting to choke on 6 to 8 layers of hemp grain sack fabric.  Understandably.  So, I started shopping for a proper machine for upholstery.

If you’ve ever looked around for one of those, you know that it’s pretty overwhelming.  Most of the upholstery machines I came across were over $1000 and were HUGE!  It would definitely not be mobile or easy to camouflage in a room, which was important to me, since it would be in my house and I often worked on sewing projects in the dining room.

I came across Sailrite Ultrafeed Portable sewing machines as I was searching and I was immediately drawn to the fact that they weren’t huge and they were portable.  I read up on reviews and also learned that Sailrite has great video tutorials, support and customer service (which I have taken advantage of), so I felt a bit easier about the investment.  It was around $600 for the machine I chose (the Ultrafeed LS-1 Basic.)

I’ve used that upholstery machine ever since, for all of my heavy-duty sewing – slipcovers, upholstery, pillows, curtains…

 It has been an amazing machine to work on.  It goes through pleats, ruffles and multiple layers without a problem.  It’s a bit more complicated to thread than my other machine, so that’s taken a bit of getting used to, but it comes with an instruction book that I keep handy in case I forget which way the thread needs to go.  

Now, I bought my machine, but since then, Sailrite expressed an interest in working with me and they asked if I thought my readers would be interested in winning one of their machines in a giveaway.  Um.  Heck yes they would!  (I answered for you, if that’s okay.)

So, they are offering up the Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1 Plus, a $799.00 value.

This is a huge prize, so I know you’ll want to enter.  Here’s how…

1.) Just leave a comment on this post.  Make sure you enter your e-mail address, so we can notify you if you’re the winner.

2.) Visit the new Sailrite Home Decor Fabric page, browse around and leave a comment here letting me know a favorite print you would like to work with, hopefully with your new Sailrite!  (They have some really beautiful fabrics.  Here are a few I like…)

3.) Sign up to receive their new 2015 Home Catalog HERE and leave one last comment letting me know you’ve done so.  The catalog has over 200 pages of all of the their home decor fabrics and notions.

That’s three chances to win.

The giveaway will close Thursday, April 23, 2015, at midnight PST and a winner will be randomly chosen and announced by Monday, April 27, 2015.  You must be over the age of 18 and in the US to be eligible to win.

Good luck, everyone.  This really is a wonderful sewing machine for upholstery and other heavy duty sewing, so I hope it goes to someone ready to put it to good use!

Disclosure: I was so excited about offering one of these machines to my readers that I offered to host this giveaway for free.  Sailrite has recently become a sidebar sponsor of my blog, but I bought a sewing machine from them and wrote a review long before that relationship was established.  All opinions and words are my own.

Before I sign off for the night, here is a preview of a couple of pieces I worked on in the studio today…

  22. I tried to sew my first slipcovers after watching your tutorials. They are pretty sad looking, but I hope I’ll improve with practice. Maybe I could do great things with a machine like this?

  24. I love the cotton duck! Great colors especially Cotton Duck 10oz Pearl Gray 36″
    Item #: 552!!! Want to slip cover a couch with this!

  27. I’m about to undertake an outdoor project…making cushions for the wrought iron patio set I purchased off Craigslist. I was on Sailrite’s site this weekend checking out their outdoor cushion foams. Boy, would this make the project much more pleasant to do!

  28. I need this machine!! I have a sewing machine and a serger. I have made slipcovers in the past. I have several projects on my to do list…having his sewing machine would make completing these projects much easier!!

  31. This is a wonderful opportunity and winning would give me the courage to tackle my upholstery projects inspired by you!
    Thank you

  32. I would choose the Harper Home Mirabel Agean Fabric because I’m redoing my living room in an indigo shade and this would be lovely in the room!

  35. I have a pile of sewing projects that are too industrious for my little old sewing machine so this would be a dream come true! Thank you so much for the opportunity! Fingers crossed!

  36. This machine is great and there are so many great fabrics on the site that would be perfect for new curtains I am sure I will have to make after we move. Loving the harper vera bouquet.

  38. P/Kaufmann Beatrice Oatmeal Fabric is my favorite fabric so far. There is so much to choose from that I could browse all night!

  39. This machine looks amazing. I have been looking for something like this so i can sew my thick piping with layers of fabric for slip covers. It looks likea great option for home furniture makeovers. I would love it! I have so many furniture projects on the go at the moment.

  50. I always admire the upholstery you do and am determined to try it… Just am not brave enough with my Pfaff. So this would be perfect! I have a chair in my living room that’s looking threadbare so if I win, that would be my first project.

  52. I would love a heavy machine. Like you, the two I have are light weights and can’t handle what I need to do to cover my chairs, for starters.

  53. Looking at their fabrics this is a treasure trove of loveliness. I am quite taken with so many fabrics and finding it hard to choose. But there is something about the Covington Carraway Spa Fabric that I just love. Such a fresh colour and beautiful lines

  54. This would be an amazing upgrade from my current machine, allowing me to expand my crafting horizons!

  55. Be still my heart! The Harper and Kaufman lines are gorgeous and have the pale teal blue I need in such beautiful prints and designs. I have found my source!

  61. I just looked at their fabric, I decorate with 1700-1800 style primitive antiques so for my chair I’d have to pick either the sunbrella sesame marine fabric or the sunbrella true brown marine fabric. I’m sure I’ll find many more I like. Thanks for this wonderful giveaway!

  62. Tried to sign up then realised it is only for US residents. Such a shame I am in Australia

  70. So excited for this giveaway! And super excited to see the full reveal of the chair you gave a sneak peek of! That color and pattern combo is to die for.

  74. I’m loving the Jennifer Adams Home Beaumont Gunmetal fabric! This site is like a candy store!

  76. I have my Grandmother’s Singer Featherweight machine and use it for most of my sewing. I’d love something heavy duty. I need to make slipcovers!

  77. As a DIY upholsterer myself, I have had an industrial machine and this one looks like the bomb for sure. I would love to have it to make items for my home and others who can’t.

    What a great gift.

  85. I am glad to see classic black and white buffalo check on their fabric page. I love buffalo check.

  88. I so need a new machine. My Bernina is over 50 years and runs like a champ but doesn’t really appreciate more than a couple layers at a time. Thanks for the opportunity!

  89. I have drooled over Sailrite sewing machines for years! This is a great give-away and whomever is the lucky winner will be blessed for years to come!

  90. The Sailrite Kaufmann Trosseau Vapor fabric is so luxurious and eye-catching, I would love to reupholster my sister-in-law’s vintage 1920s Gooseneck sofa she’s had for about a decade; the original velvet is thinning with age, although the wooden structure of the piece is still extremely sound. I feel that this fabric would suit it beautifully.

  92. I would love to win one of the heavy duty machines to use for some drapery and upholstery projects. Your tutorials have been am inspiration!

  94. I would love to have a heavy duty machine to work on some drapery and upholstery projects. Your tutorial are an inspiration!

  99. I like the P/Kaufmann Beatrice Midnight Fabric and think it would make beautiful pillows.

  109. Wow, what a great prize! Coincidentally, I just watched sailrites video on making a box cushion! Most helpful video of them all

  117. I don’t even know how to sew (yet!), but this would be an amazing prize even if I have to get a friend to come over and make stuff with it for me! 😉

  118. The Waverly Zen Garden Darjeeling Fabric would be amazing to use in my house. It would fit so perfectly. I love their prints though. So many bold, bright and abstract fabrics to choose from!

  119. My kids have gone through 2 sewing machines. Would love a heavy duty one that lasts!

  120. Love all that you do! The machine would definitely be a treasure to make efforts to follow your accomplishments.

  123. Just browsed their fabric site, and have found a new dangerous go-to site for upholstery/curtain fabric! Love P/Kaufmann Garden Craft Yolk Fabric Item #: 105359, It just reminds me of “you are my sunshine.”

  130. The Covington Sea Breeze Indigo would look pretty sweet in my bedroom makeover . . . and while we’re at it, the Covington Woven Ticking Denim Blue.

  133. Just leave a comment on this post
    OMD! Where have you been. Just when one thinks all the interesting sewing/crafting blogs have been discovered “Miss Mustard Seed” appears. This Sailrite machine is interesting. WOW Thank you

  134. Not sure what I’ll do with it yet, but I think I’ll order some of the Covington Harrison Classic Navy fabric!

  140. I have a pair of chairs that I have been waiting on getting enough nerve to try upholstery them myself.

  147. Those P/Kauffmann Beatrice patterns were exquisite! And I loved each and every one of the colors!!!! Can’t wait to really spend some time exploring this site.

  150. My friend has a sailrite machine and loves it! I signed up for the catalog and look through their fabrics! Love the Adelaide and Sumatra at first glance, but there were so many, it was hard to pick!

  151. Beautiful machine. Beautiful fabrics. Love the Covington ble plaid for my chicken coop curtains and nesting boxes.

  152. I have signed up for the cataloge. What a terrific resource. I picked Harper Home Victoria Tiger Lily Fabric. Perfect for drapes in my dining room.

  154. Maybe third time to post here will work. Captcha does not like me lol. Winning the Sailrite would be fabulous. My fingers and toes are crossed.

  159. Thank you for a chance to win the Sailrite heavy duty sewing machine. I would enjoy using it. I always have sewing projects lined up.
    I learned to sew on my grandmothers machine and have loved it ever since that first day. I got my machine when my first daughter was 6 months old and still use it today, 50 years later.
    It does not handle upholstery fabric very well, but I still love to see on it.
    The Sailrite machine would make all my projects easier to complete.
    I love your blog and hope to see more upholstery projects.

  164. I signed up for their Home catalogue! I LOVE this giveaway! Thanks, Marion!!!!!

  165. Would love to have this one! My main machine is a Singer 301A from the 1950’s that originally belonged to my mom. It’s a workhorse but a heavy duty machine for upholstery work would be an great addition.

  166. Would love the opportunity to win a Sailrite. I do quite a bit of upholstery and have dreamed of owning a heavy duty machine.

  173. Wow, Marian, I am definitely getting in on this opportunity – thank you! I remember when you bought that machine and how much you loved it. I made a mental note that when I did get a new one, I would search your blog for the model you bought. I have just pinned it too.
    Rita

  178. I had no idea they were a fabric source! Thank you for letting us know about that. I liked the Covington Barnegat plaid in Lobster. I could make all sorts of things from that for the summer. Thank you again for such a generous giveaway!

  180. Would love to win this as my singer machine is “singing” from being pushed to the limit.

  182. I would so love to have this machine. I have been wanting a heavy duty one to make pillows to sell on etsy to make extra money. I saw your original post on this machine and wanted one since then. The pillows I make with my regular machine are just hit and miss because the machine bogs down. I would soooooo love this and put it to great use .

  185. I have been sewing for years and never heard of this brand of machine. I do some small upholstery projects from time to time and I really think I need a specialized machine. Thanks for sharing this.

  186. Would love to win and put this machine to work on my latest projects. Please pick me!!

  190. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway. Now I must get back to sewing after being away from it.

  216. They have some seriously beautiful fabrics available. I’m having a really hard time picking just one, but right now I’m loving the P/Kaufmann Outdoor Zoie Tangerine Fabric. It would look great on my patio chair cushions!

  217. The Adelaide Oasis fabric is gorgeous, but I love the Chickens and Samba and …

  220. I’ve been drooling over the Sailrite machine for a while now, as my home machine does “ok”, but I think of the wonderful things I could do with the Sailrite! I’ve been teaching myself upholstery and the nicer machine would be awesome!!!

  290. I had somehow come off the Sailrite mailing list, so thanks for the reminder — and the catalog that’s on its way!!!!

  292. Love the Sailrite fabric selection – much better prices than I expected!

  293. Where have I been and why have I not seen sailrite before. Their fabric selections are so good and the upholstery selections are good for people looking for hard to find items.

  327. This should have been Added to my first entry but that website is great! I really like the Adelaide bluebell, the waverly graceful garden and Kaufman finders keepers all in blue. Beautiful!

  328. It’s SO hard to choose just one favorite! They have so many beautiful fabrics. I really like: P/Kaufmann Quiet Refuge Robins Egg Fabric
    #106601

  334. I would love this wonderful machine. I have seen the wonderful things that you have made with it and been in awe. My machine also will not sew multiple layers of heavier fabric. Your blog gives me so many ideas. Thank you for all the inspiration and for the giveaway.

    And I have sigend up for the catalog!

    Thanks!
    Amy

  337. I’ve been having fun looking at the fabrics – why have I not seen this before?? I love the PKaufmann line – it’s been fun to put together a room with the blues – my favorites so far are the Snow Leopard Breeze and Paisley Pop Lake. I can see lots of surfing here in my future!

  339. Signed up the receive my catalog. Can’t wait. Since summer is upon us I’m thinking that the Sunbrella Fischer Lagoon fabric would be fabulous on my patio. The sewing machine would be a bonus when making those cushions. Thanks for all your wonderful info. Take care.

  342. Oh my gosh, it’s Kismet! I’m literally experiencing the same issue right now! My ‘starter’ machine just isn’t holding up anymore; it’s served me well, but it’s time to upgrade.

  343. Oh how wonderful that you shared this with us! Many Thanks!! Can’t wait to get the catalog…everything looks so fabulous!

  347. I would love a machine that sews thru multiple layers with ease! I make a lot of pillows with heavy cordings and trims. I ordered the Sailrite catalog and the the Homespun and the Woven Ticking are my favorites.

  349. Holla! What a fabulous give-away. My machine has been chugging away through 23 years, 3 homes, 2 kids, 3 cats, and 3 dogs now. How wonderful would it be to have one that actually works through upholstery fabric without all the ‘sailor’s language’ I throw at mine. 8~)

  350. Thank you for bringing this company to my attention! I’m looking to do some slip covering and reupholstering this summer, so this would be very welcome.

    I’m loving the Sunbrella Sling in Logan Ocean. I think this would work great on my 1980’s cane back dinning room chairs with the frames painted in ironstone. Great texture on this fabric and sun resistant to boot!

    I also signed up for the catalog.

  351. What a dream it would be to win this awesome sewing machine!
    I especially liked Jacks Beanstalk–aquamarine .

  352. I would love to have this machine! I make all kind of home dec items and use a basic Singer.

  355. i would love to win this! My sewing machine that I had for 30 years just died. I have been doing without because I know a new one that sews the way I like will cost too much. I’ve been sewing my whole life so I know I will need one. I signed up for the catalog.

  356. I love all of their fabrics, they are all gorgeous! But I am drawn most to Covington Heirloom Jane Vintage Linen.

  358. I lurrrvvvvv the Covington Tangier Empire Gold fabric. It would be such a fabulous contrast to the mostly creams/whites and blue I’m going for in my home décor (you’re such an inspiration, Marian, I’ve been doing the King Gustav shuffle after he saw the palace at Versailles: changing out (i.e., throwing out/giving away/selling) all my old home stuff and instead living with things I absolutely adore, instead of just ‘kinda like’ or put up with.

  359. This is my dream machine. I am crossing fingers and toes that I’ll get to use it to sew and sew!

  361. You know what would be cute? Covington Carraway Spa Fabric pillows in my new basement!!!

  362. A very practical addition to what we do! I’m always looking for that perfect fabric for projects, so a new source is always welcome.

  363. Hi Marian,
    I have been enjoying your blog for a few months now and this is my first time commenting. My beautiful sister-in-law gave me your book as a birthday gift this year and I was hooked. You are able to accomplish so much in a day it is awe inspiring! I live in an antique farmhouse in Maine that is in a constant state of renovation or repair. My current project is making drapes for my bedroom and living room (with help from your tutorial) but my 30 year old Viking just isn’t cutting it. Sigh, I really need a new machine! Even if I don’t win the Sailrite, I will be checking them out and saving up. Thanks much for your encouragement and inspiration!

  364. Does it count that I downloaded the catalog because I couldn’t wait for mail delivery? I’ve gone through about 1/3 of the catalog already this morning, and will finish when I get back from walking the dog…who has been not-so-patiently-waiting (with her back legs crossed) while I read through just-one-last-how-to… BTW, lovely catalog with or without the giveaway!

  365. I would love to enter this contest and win this sewing machine. I love the bird friends fabrisc and the blue bell! Hope I win

  366. I’ve been using a standard machine for heavy-duty fabrics and would love to win one of these amazing machines!

  367. My husband farms and I always have multiple layers of jean and duck cloth material to repair.He is very rough on clothing to say the least..My utility machine just doesn’t do the trick..but is it worth spending 600.00 to repair 30 dollar jeans…Hmmmm. I love many of the fabrics, how can I choose one…but the Adelaide Platinum. was just very special…have a lovely week. MM

  368. Pinned their fabric to my Pinterest board for sources. So many pretty ones, but my favorite is the PKaufmann line, Snow Leopard in the Breeze color way.

  370. I just ordered the Sailrite catalog – wow, such beautiful fabrics. My favorite is the Williamsburg Lightfoot Garden Sepia.

  371. I have signed up for the catalogs and have used Sailrite tutorials for past projects. They are great.

  373. Love the P/Kaufmann Adelaide Oasis Fabric, it would be perfect for this little sitting chair I have at home waiting for a face lift:)

  374. I am so excited about this giveaway! I would love to own a Sailrite machine! I especially love that it is portable. I have read about this machine on sewing forums and from your blog and would be so thrilled to win!

    Thank you!
    Rose

  376. I would love one of these machines. I’m re-doing our master bedroom and my machine is groaning with every stitch!

  377. Ok…I love so many fabrics on their site…but choose Covington’s Cecita because it is a fresh new take on timeless damask.I love the cheerful colorways!

  378. I would love to have this beauty of a sewing machine for all of those “heavier” projects that my regular machine can’t handle! I love seeing MMS’s beautiful upholstering masterpieces!

  379. Third and final!
    I signed up for their catalog. They have very competitive pricing!

  382. I’ve signed up for the catalog and love the Williamsburg Lamerie Lattice Sepia fabric. My poor sewing machine will thank you if it doesn’t have to do any more of my upholstery projects–especially when working with ultrasuede. I have used the Sailrite youtube videos when I get stuck on a certain part of my projects. Thank you, Sailrite!

  384. I have wanted a commercial sewing machine for years! Sewing is a passion of mine, but without a heavy duty machine, many projects are not feasible. I would be so thrilled to win this machine! The fact that Miss Mustard Seed has endorsed this product gives me the confidence to consider purchasing one, even if I don’t win.

    I love the P Kaufmann Quiet Refuge Robins Egg fabric! What a pretty way to usher in spring! Pretty pillows or perhaps a bed coverlet would be so pretty!

    I am excited to have signed up for the new catalog. Fabric to me is like candy is to a child!

  388. I love so many of them… but think this one is particularly fun: Waverly 676770 Tennyson Harvest

  392. I enjoy your posts every day. I also really like the trends towards greens lately, as it is my favorite color. You are showing me how to use them ‘in your style’. Thanks for the inspiration. I have some upholstry projects just waiting for the Sailrite machine. Thank you.

  393. I would love to win this commercial grade sewing machine! Sewing is my passion, and although I have a sewing machine, like Miss Mustard Seed, it can only handle so many types of projects. Knowing that she has endorsed this particular machine gives me confidence to purchase one if I don’t win the giveaway.

    I love the P Kaufmann “Quiet Refuge Robins Egg” fabric. How pretty it would be made up in a coverlet and shams for my guest room, or perhaps headboard cover.

    I have signed up for the catalog. Receiving a catalog packed with fabric choices is like candy for a child!

    Thank you Miss Mustard Seed for offering this giveaway!

  396. I love Covingtons Cecita! It is a fresh take on a traditional damask with beautiful happy colors!

  397. Ok…I signed up to receive their catalog…cant wait! Their prices are very competitive!

  400. I would love to win the Sailrite machine! I have read about this machine on your blog and sewing forums and would be thrilled to own a heavy duty machine that is portable! I love making cushions and slipcovers and this machine would make sewing thru all the thicknesses a breeze!

  401. What a wonderful giveaway!! I hope I win, my cheapo sewing machine has really kept me from attempting anything other than basic curtains!!

  405. I signed up for the brochures!! Can’t wait to see them! Also, FYI, they asked how you found out about them but they had no category for Miss Mustard Seed, so I just put “Friend”!!

  407. I love the P. Kaufmann Feathered Friends Bluebird fabric! If I win, I can make some whimsical curtains for my master bedroom!

  412. Even though it is home decor fabric, I would love a summer dress made of the HGTV Color Study Platinum fabric! Thank you Sailright and Marion for this wonderful opportunity.

  413. I would love to use the P/Kaufmann Zoie Marine fabric to upholster a wing back bed Im hoping my husband will build me!

  418. Hello. Would love to win this sewing machine. I just discovered sail right’so YouTube channel!
    Thanks for the opportunity!

  419. This machine looks fantastic. I bought my machine 30 years ago as a single woman and considered it an “investment” … and I was right! I am the only one in my friendship group that has a sewing machine and knows how to sew. I do all the mending for friends, kids of friends, kids friends, Halloween costumes, home decor and small items to sell. A good machine becomes a good friend. My machine is still working but its hobbling along. Oh and now my 20 year old son sews! Thank you for having such a wonderful blog.

  420. Wow, would love to use this machine!! I’m still using the old ‘all purpose’ sewing machine which is frustrating.

  423. Wow! What a fantastic give-away! The fabrics on the website were beautiful….I was thinking accent pillows, and I love the P Kaufmann gentle gesture spa (so whimsical) and the Harper Home cheetah steel….how beautiful for my grey and white home.
    Thank you, I would love to win!

  426. I think covington’s “need a dollar” black pearl would be perfect since i live in Florida, don’t you? thanks sandy

  427. This sounds like an amazing machine…would be wonderful to make slipcovers with. I would be forever grateful to own such an amazing machine…Love it

  430. OK, here’s the thing. I totally just met this lady through craigslist, weird right?, anyway, it turns out she used to upholster and slip cover furniture and offered to teach me how. And then seriously, not even a week later there’s this giveaway for a new sewing machine which would be perfect for just such a thing. Needless to say, I hope I win.

  441. It would be perfect timing to win this. I’m planning my first upholstery project–slipcovers. Good luck to all.

  442. Also, I really love the Waverly Candid Moment in a couple different patterns the one in ebony and the glacier one. I’m kinda in a bird phase right now and think that would be perfect for some many projects…

  444. I also signed up for their home catalog. I’ll have a nursing baby here in a couple of days so it won’t hurt to have something to look at, you know, every two hours….

  445. I just signed up for both of their catalogs! I am actually anxious to look at the marine catalog as we just inherited an old ‘fixer upper’ boat 😉

  447. I would love to win one of these heavy duty machines. May I be lucky today.

    Love the pop of orange on the back of the last chair.

  448. Man, could I use this machine. I know what you mean about “run of the mill” machines. I have used and abused two machines now — the one I got as a child and the one I got to replace it. I have definitely pushed to and beyond their limits!

  451. Favorite fabric? I looked at them all and had a hard time deciding. So, one of my favorites:

    P/K Lifestyles 402233 Cross Section Licorice 54″ Fabric

  453. Oh Marian, How I would love to win that sewing machine. My machine which I have used for the last 10 years bit the dust a couple of months ago when I was finishing up new window treatments for my kitchen and great room. Needless to say I had to borrow a machine to finish them and have not made the investment yet on a new machine. This one would be great.

  454. If I had this machine I wouldn’t need to borrow my friend’s industrial machine every time I want to sew something heavy–like marine grade vinyl boat seat covers.

  455. I’ve been wanting to purchase an upholstery machine! I have several projects lined up thanks to Miss Mustard Seed’s inspiration!!!!

  457. I just received my Sailrite catalog in the mail and I love the Kauffman Beatrice Mist. What a wonderful contest, thanks Marian and Sailrite for the chance to win this wonderful machine!

  459. I love the Covington Reagan Ebony/Ivory Buffalo Check. I need some for new curtains for my bed room.

  460. I would LOVE to be the recipient of this sewing machine. The biggest reason why I haven’t done any slipcovers from your tutorials is because my machine isn’t beefy enough to handle the material. Thanks for your post!

  461. What an awesome giveaway! I think one of my fav fabrics is Harper Home Abigail Spa Blue Fabric. Love the mix of blues. I also signed up for the catalog.

  464. I would like to refinish furniture and didn’t know about heavy duty sewing machines. I would love to have one!

  465. I’d like to pair the “Jennifer Adams Home Laval Seafoam Fabric” with MMS Dried Lavender or Shutter gray for a new look to an old chair I recently acquired for free! I’ve been looking for a new fabric website so again, thanks for sharing, Marian!

  467. I have had my faithful sewing machine since I was about 12. Over 30 years. I know exactly what you mean when you say it chokes on heavy fabric. It would be great to have a newer machine for the heavy stuff while hanging on to my first love for the lighter stuff. 🙂

  468. Yay! Signed up for the Sailrite catalog too! A girl can never have too much fabric! Thanks for this opportunity. I’m a faithful reader of your blog. You have inspired me to tackle sewing projects that I thought were impossible!!!

  469. Oh Marian, How I would love to win this machine. Needless to say my machine I have had for 10 years or longer bit the dust a couple of months ago when I was making new window treatments for my kitchen and great room. I had to borrow a machine to finish them. I have not yet invested in another machine as I was unsure of what I actually wanted. This one would be perfect as I am wanting to make slipcovers and reupholster some items in my hone. I signed up for their catalog and looked at their fabric. I would love to have the P. Kaufman Coral Beach outdoor fabric in coral to make new covers for the wicker chairs on my front porch. Hope I win.

  470. I don’t sew… but my husband does, ha! And, he reupholstered a chair for me last month using a regular machine. Boy, this “real” upholstery machine would be great, I’m sure!

  471. Wow! I love their fabrics. I’ve been looking for some pretty and different fabric for recovering my outdoor chair covers …and they have a very nice selection.

  472. This is a great source for fabrics! I may have to buy a boat so I can use the P/Kaufmann Outdoor Fish, Seahorse Blue and Zoie Blue Marine fabrics – yum!

  473. The P/Kaufmann Mantra Spark Fabric is one of my favorites. Their floral prints are wonderful.

  475. Thank you for the giveaway! I’m signed up for their catalog and look forward to receiving it. Moving to a remote area (in Alaska, whoohoo) where there will not be fabric stores – so this will be a great source. Thanks, Miss Mustard Seed!

  476. Thanks for this fantastic opportunity to possibly win such an outstanding
    heavy sewing machinei !

  477. I love the P Kaufman Paisley Park Mimosa as well as the Covington Samba Blossom, and , and and . . . .

  478. I would love a new machine. I have upholstered many goodwill and second hand pieces of furniture and have a rough time with it on my 20 year old machine. It loves to skip. Thanks for posting this giveaway. I just love reading your blog.

  480. Not sure my second comment took – I love the P Kaufman Paisley Park Mimosa and The Covington Samba Blossom. and many, many more !

  481. We’re on the downhill side of a whole house re-do and have many bare naked windows, sofa and chairs in need of throw pillows and a couple of old chairs needing some love. My sewing machine is a very, very old Singer that probably won’t handle the thicker layers of fabric. That lovely machine would be a Godsend!

  485. I love all the beautiful fabric. My fav is the Tommy Bahama Out door cayovista Black Sand also the P/Kaufmann Beatrice Midnight is pretty too. Love your blog…thank you for the wonderful give away.

  486. I sign up to receive their catalog and look forward to seeing all the goodies. Thank you for the giveaway. Love your blog…

  487. Very nice offer. I just started upholstering (trying too) and I’ve got hooked. This machine would be a great help. Love your blog. I love the Adelaide Tigerlily Fabric on the Home Decor Fabric page. I’ve signed up for the home catalog. I’m envisioning my new Sailrite in my craft room in that exact color. BAM!!!

  488. I would love one of those machines!!!!! I have a nice machine but it doesn’t need to get abused with heavy fabric and upholstery. You do such a nice job.

  492. WOW what a wonderful giveaway, I sew EVERYDAY of the week!
    I have been a reader of yours for a long time now, and am looking forward
    to trying some new things, we have a 10 x 20 storage building I want to turn into
    a guest room and a studio, which will involve making some items I know my
    small basic machine will not handle. Off to check out the fabrics and sign up for the catalog
    brustythimble (at) gmail.com

  497. haven’t been sewing much lately, but this is really an inspiration to get started once again!

  498. I loved these fabrics, 801422 Tommy Bahama ourdoor crescent, 106502 Europatex virginia cloud, and106573 PKaufman blue bell, P Kaufman Beatrice Wildberry 106577, and lastly 106643 Covington Plaid. This is such a nice giveaway.

  499. Love the indoor fabrics how beautiful. I would go with a basic neutral and add some pops of color with pillows. We live at a lake they have some wonderful selections that would fit in

  500. Williamsburg Portobello Vase Laurel Fabric. I was ISO fabric that would go with blue, and I’ve used this same fabric twice in other colorways, and I adore it. Your giveaway may have solved my “need fabric with blue” problem–you rock! And, I would be dangerous with such a sewing machine. All sorts of projects would suddenly be possible . . . .

  504. I would love to have a heavy duty sewing machine. I have two sewing machines already but when it comes to heavy duty, they don’t get the job done.

  508. I went through all 2,058 of them and found so many I’d love to have, but I think I’d choose P/Kaufmann Adelaide Blue Bell Fabric as my first fabric to acquire if given the opportunity.

  510. I love to sew pillows and work a lot with heavy fabric. This would be a dream and I think my vocabulary would improve!

  511. Redecorating the guest room using black, gray and off white. Would love to use the Covington Barnegate Plaid Pearl Gray for a small foot stool.

  512. What an exciting giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity (and the dreams of a new sewing machine)!

  515. WOO HOO ! I visit this blog every day.I look at your upholstery and think I wish my machine could handle thicker fabrics. The 24th is my birthday and this would be the best. The HGTV Home Pretty Please Blushing Fabric is beautiful. I also have some chairs calling my name. I ordered the catalog so I could really get a good look and ideas. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  517. My favorite (today) is #106601 Quiet Refuge Robins Egg. They would make lovely curtains in a small window in my bathroom.

  520. Love so many of these fabrics. My favorite right now is the P Kaufmann Flitter in Island. I’m sensing MANY projects coming up in the near future. Would love to update the colors/fabric in ALL the rooms of my house!

  521. If your talent came with the machine, woo wee, I could get something done! What a lovely give away. I remember reading about your upgrade to this machine, and how dreamy it sounded to work with. (Full disclosure, I don’t sew, but have lots of projects stacking up.)

  522. This is perfect timing. I am replacing fabric on outdoor sling chairs. I plan on using my old Singer 401 to make the covers however since I will be sewing on nylon mesh fabric it would be great to have a machine that is made for upholstering. I’ve signed up for their catalog because I need some replacement parts for my old chairs. I have also used their videos on how to sew cushions, they have great information. Wonderful giveaway!

  524. I feel like a stalker by commenting again, but I signed up for the catalog from Sailrite. 🙂 I signed up to receive their emails awhile back after you mentioned them in a post. Thanks for offering to help with this giveaway!!!

  525. Oh, my goodness!! This is my first time visiting your site and I am a new fan already! You can tell you are using a quality machine! Having sent my “run-of-the-mill” machine to the Machine Dr. myself by trying to tackle jobs it wasn’t meant for (only to be told it would cost more to fix than replace) I myself searched for something more capable, but wasn’t able to because of the prices. It would be awesome to be able to get back to it again! Thanks for the inspiration!

  528. I pinned Covington Musee Blue Toile, but really there were so many beautiful prints. I love yours of course, your taste is why I follow you.

  530. Don’t know if I could figure be out how to use this machine , but I would love to try! Sewing a ruffle in grainsack is a comedy show around the here!

  532. And finally, a catalog should be coming my way. I wish Miss Mustard Seed was in the drop down menu of referrals! I marked friend.

  533. I would LOVE to win this sweet sewing machine! I used to be a sailmaker and am familiar with this tough little beauty! I’ve been looking on Craig’s List for one.
    Win, win, win!

  534. My first project would be new outdoor cushions using some of their beautiful Sunbrella fabrics.
    Thanks for this opportunity.

  536. Have a chair I’d like to redo with Sunbrella 45542-0000 Blox Slate 54″ Upholstery Fabric. Would wear well and look great!

  537. AH! I have been drooling over this exact machine for months now!!! Fingers crossed!
    I am in love with the Harper Home Foliage Coral Fabric, which would be a lovely accent to a chair I’m refinishing. I requested their catalog!

  539. What an awesome opportunity you and Sailrite are giving us. Thank you! May whoever wins enjoy this wonderful machine for years to come
    Susan

  542. The fabric I would love to use to tackle my first project would be Tommy Bahama Outdoor 800012 Island Song Ocean 54″ Fabric to replace my patio cushions. I have been wanting to do that for years! 🙂

  543. I’ve been looking for a machine that is more heavy duty! This would be fabulous!!!!! -Andrea

  546. I would love to make a cushion for my rocker out of the “Covington Heirloom Jane Mineral Fabric”

  549. Oh, how I would love to have this machine! I, too, work on a basic machine and it just can’t handle some of the bigger jobs I’d like to do. Thanks!

  550. I did all three. Beautiful fabrics! Probably “Sariz” in sugarcane would be my favorite to work with. I’m getting ready to make my shirred on drapes into pinch pleated drapes and would love that machine but I can see me going straight from that project to my bedroom!!

  551. Love that sewing machine. My home machine just can’t keep up. Thanks for sponsoring such a good giveaway!!!

  552. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Sunbrella 58010-0000 Icon Pop 54″ Upholstery Fabric for outdoor furniture cushions!

  555. I would love the Waverly Santa Maria fabric in mimosa for covering my outdoor cushions. Bright and cheerful!
    Susan

  558. I am DROOLING!! I have several unfinished upholstery jobs right now because my sewing machine cannot handle the thicker fabrics! Thank you for hosting this.

  560. I’d love to get this machine! Man, the things I could do! Laugh.

    I personally love the Beatrice Midnight fabric. Love the design on the dark color. Perfect for throw pillows for my den!

  563. I would love to have a Sailrite machine. I enjoy making slipcovers, so this would help me with all the layers and cording.

  565. I would choose the Waverly Outdoor Siren Song Tiger Lily fabric. The price is great! My daughter just mentioned how we need some more color on our porch. I’d say this fits the bill!

  566. My faithful machine has been chugging along but what a wonderful chance to sail through layers of decorator fabric. I promise to show my first project if I win!

  570. I am on my 2nd machine. first one lasted 25 years. I sew “tougher” so need a machine that can sew thicker fabrics so I don’t wear out current one.
    rick

  571. I would use the Covington Lavate Linen fabric (#106487) on their website to reupholster the TIRED ottoman in my bedroom….that fabric would match my upholstered headboard perfectly 🙂

  572. YES please! I really need one of these for the many projects I have waiting to be made! 🙂

  573. I FINALLY have my own craft room so I am going crazy “creating” many things for our home. My sewing machine is okay but it could never sew some of the things I want to make. I love all of the fabrics you chose and also the Picasso Cotton Single fill duck – anything in blue and I signed up for their catalog. What a wonderful contest – thanks.

  576. I have been looking for a machine for a while. The checked fabric is gorgeous – have a chair it would look beautiful on.

  580. Oh my gosh!! I would love to win this machine!! I just placed an order with Sailrite today for some Sunbrella fabrics to redo my patio furniture cushions.

  581. They have some beautiful fabric on the Website. I really liked Waverly Splash of Color Passion – I ordered a sample of it for my guest room.

  582. I would love to win one of these machines.

    I am typing this with my fingers crossed!

    Thanks

  583. Would love to win the Sailrite machine and start working on a sad little chair that I would love to recover. Thanks for the offer!
    Lisa

  584. I could look at fabric all day but would love to have some Covington Heirloom Jane Vintage Linen Fabric.

  585. So many gorgeous fabrics to choose from! But I’d have to pick my favorite classic…P/Kaufmann Slubby Linen in Bone. Stunning!

  589. What an awesome giveaway!! Would love to use this machine on my fabric projects! -Kari

  591. I ordered Sunbrella Kiawah Spa for pillows, Geobella Darcy Peacock for pillows and Marine grade in Heather Beige and Canvas for my cushions,

  594. It is lovely of you to sponsor the contest on your blog. Thank you
    for the time you spend taking wonderful pictures and writing
    great descriptions. It is a daily treat!

  596. Please enter me for the contest for the sewing machine. I am sewing on an old 1958 Singer 401a machine. It does the job and is a workhorse but would love to sew on something from this century.

    Crossing my fingers and hoping.

  597. I can’t tell you how many needles I’ve broken sewing on my budget machine! ☺️ Would love the chance to work with a Sailrite! Thanks!
    Beth

  602. I could think of so many things to do with this sewing machine. Keeping my fingers cross that I win. 🙂

  603. I am ashamed to say that I knew nothing about Sailrite Sewing Machines until I read about them here. I would love to own one!

  604. For my chair project the P/Kaufmann Beatrice Blue Bell Fabric would be very nice. But I love the water-color look of P/Kaufmann Quiet Refuge Robins Egg Fabric. The Covington SD Pop Rocks Sunshine Fabric would also be cute on my chair as well.
    Love too many of them.

  605. There were a lot of beautiful prints but I really liked P/Kaufmann Junoon Meadow Fabric
    #105205.

  606. Oh oh oh how I would love to win this!!! So exciting to think that I could start upholstering my own furniture and do it with ease!

  607. What a fabulous giveaway! I’ve been collecting projects to upholster and I really need a machine so I can get started. I’m so excited!

  608. This giveaway is timely as I am in the market for a sewing machine. I love that it does heavy jobs like slipcovers but is also portable!

  609. I would love to upholster a chair using P/Kaufmann Quiet Refuge Robins Egg Fabric. It
    is such a beautiful watercolor type fabric featuring birds, one of my favorite motifs.

  612. I just signed up for the catalog. Still have my fingers crossed and wishing really hard.

  614. I really need a new machine,and the Sailright would work for me. I need something stronger than my1975 Kenmore.

  616. I really like the Harper Home Vivian Mojito fabric. I am thinking about using it on a chair.

    Thanks!

  620. Perfect timing. I’m getting ready to move and I am planning on upholstering my sofa, love seat and chairs in the living room. I’m also making new drapes. This magnificent machine sure would be a great help. I’ve already used Sailrite’s tutorial in making Roman Shades. It was very easy to follow.

  622. Registered to get a catalog and newsletter. Thank you for sharing this offer and the company.

  623. What an amazing machine. It is so hard to find a good heavy duty machine that works well!

  624. Thanks for this giveaway! I would love to win this for my mom. It would make an amazing Mother’s Day gift!

  625. I love the fabrics that are offered. My favorites are:
    P/KaufmannAdelaide Platinum
    Harper Home Vera Mineral Bouquet
    Harper Home Vanessa Mineral Bouquet.
    So so pretty!

  626. Yes, please enter me! I’ve just started to upholster and my machine is struggling already!

  629. Yes please!!!! Sign me up. I also use a light weight machine for slipcovers. A proper machine would be wonderful.

  630. I would love to have Williamsburg Portobello Vase Spa Fabric for my living room redo.

  631. I LOVE your style!! I’ve just started upholstering pieces for my new house and have gotten sooooo many great ideas from your site and your book! It would be fantastic to have a Sailrite machine!! My only hope is that my efforts look half as good as yours!! Thanks for the inspiration and sharing! And the chance to win such an awesome machine!!i

  633. Oh the things I could make with this machine, I am so limited with the intro level sewing machine I have.

  634. I am looking for an updated gold fabric and the Kaufmann-Temara-Turmeric-54-Fabric is perfect!

  638. I browsed their site and chose Covington Samba Serenity fabric. It is beautiful and with this wonderful prize I can redo a fabulous chair for my home!!!!

  640. I’ve never heard of Sailright, but glad you featured them today – I’ve been looking to upgrade from my VERY basic machine so I can do some home projects (and hem jeans!) I love the Covington Samba Serenity fabric with it’s cool gray/blue background and ric-rac look. And I signed up for their catalog!

  643. Would love to have this machine to explore my new interest in reupholstering, thanks to you dear Marion.

  649. I own a wonderful Babylock Ellissimo which does most anything BUT in the near future I will be listing my house to sell and want to have it showroom perfect. I have heard from a friend about the Sailrights. I would love to be a proud owner of one of these machines so that I can do some recovering and also make some slipcovers with heavier material as well as pillows. Money is tight so winning one of these machines surely would be a blessing!!!

  653. Oh, I would LOVE to win a new sewing machine. Mine is over 45 years old and starting to show it’s age, aren’t we all. Most of my sewing is home dec so this would be just perfect. Thanks for the opportunity.

  656. Oh, wow, I would love to have a Sailrite sewing machine! I am struggling sewing upholstery fabric with my current machine!

  659. I signed up for Sailrite’s catalog and would love to use their P/Kaufmann Adelaide Blue Bell Fabric in an upholstery project!

  660. What a great sewing machine! I read with interest when you got yours and would love to have one myself. I started a denim quilt (made from my sons’ old jeans) and my poor old machine doesn’t like to sew those thick seams. Thanks for the giveaway, Marian!

  661. Catalogue on the way! Funny thing is my husband ordered one for me just two days ago in his name! This one is mine. I adore the fabrics and can’t wait to get it. The blue and whites are my favorite! Thanks for the opportunity Sailrite and Miss Mustard!

  662. It’s a tossup for me…I love their Adelaide fabric, and I love the blue bird print. But then again, the quiet canary…Oh, I want it all! 🙂

  667. Thank you so much for this amazing giveaway. Living in an old one room schoolhouse, I’m aware of the number of items I would love to upholster, but my machine just wouldn’t do it!

  669. Sailrite has many pretty fabrics. The P/Kaufmann Beatrice Ivory and P/Kaufmann Adelaide Mist are two that catch my eye.

  671. I would love a Sailrite sewing machine for my upholstery projects! Love their P/Kaufmann Adelaide Blue Bell Fabric fabric too!

  677. I like the Kaufman Spot On peacock, or the Covington South Beach Stripe in Mardi Gras. Thats just the first 2!.

  680. my favorite fabric is P/Kaufmann Beatrice Blue Bell Fabric….

    I ordered the catalog. I would love this machine as my machine broke and I don’t have the $$ to replace it. Thanks for your inspiration on sewing and upholstering….keep them coming!!!

  683. Sailrite has many pretty fabrics. Two that catch my eye are P/Kaufmann Beatrice Ivory and P/Kaufmann Adelaide Mist.

  684. What an awesome giveaway!! I would love this machine. I have had a heavy-duty upholstery-capable machine in my wish-list forever. I love the industrial vibe and compact, portable design!

  685. I would choose the out door fabric “Traveler Lakeside” for my “new” porch furniture!

  687. So excited about this giveaway! Thank you, Sailrite, and thank you for hosting, Marion!

  688. I ordered the home catalog – but they need to add “Miss Mustard Seed” to the list of how I heard about them!

  689. looks like this is my machine that I need for sewing through denim and upholstery fabric projects.. My baby lock isn’t doing it anymore!

  690. I love the P/Kaufmann Feathered Friends fabric! I can just see curtains and pillows for my family room made out of it. We have a gloriously hideous/awesome 1960s free-standing gas fireplace in bright orange that is so hard to match, but this fabric may do the trick.

  693. So many beautiful fabrics to choose from, I choose Jennifer Adams Home Ascot Sandstone Fabric.

  698. Wow! WOW!! What a giveaway! I’ve had an interest in upholstery for a long, long time. I’m a “detail” gal whose eye is always looking closer. I go “ahh” over double welting, clap my hands at the prospect of a chair with three fabrics (!), transom windows, wainscoting, ball fringe on curtain panels, pillows – you get the picture. The unexpected details delight me. For that reason, I’ve desired to learn to upholster – to “re-create” – for a long time. I live in the Northern Virginia area, where affluence reigns and upholsters make money hand over fist. I’ve looked for upholstery classes, but no one is really teaching them. I’ve even considered enrolling in a professional upholstery program in Charlotte! Winning this machine, along with the video support Sailrite provides, and the MMS videos, would be an AMAZING kick in the seat of my pants to move from yearning to learning! Thank you, Marian!

  700. This would mean no more broken needles! Hooray! I would love this machine and put it to good use! Thanks Marian!

  701. I love love love this machine. I also love the P/Kaufmann Quiet Refuge Robins Egg fabric. I could really use this machine and fabric to cover my outside patio furniture as well as inside projects.

  703. Sunbrella 58012-0000 Volt Berry 54″ Upholstery Fabric
    Item #: 58012-0000

    This is a luscious color.

  704. I love the Kaufman Adelaide Tigerlilly fabric as well as the Beatrice Tigerlilly. I’ve been needing a heavy duty sewing machine for some time. I have postponed working on pillow cushions and doing some major sewing projects just for the fact I don’t have a sewing machine that will take the thickness of the fabric. I’d love to win the sewing machine.

  706. I need this because my babylock isn’t hacking it any more with the denim and upholstery fabric I’vve been trying to sew

  709. Would love to win this. I have been wanting a sewing machine, my is old and has issues. Love your blog, your decorating, and all your tutorials!

  710. Would love love love this machine! My imagination definitely surpasses my machine’s abilities!

  712. I visited the Sailrite Decor Fabric page and I like P/Kaufman Flitter Kiwi, and Covington Fitzgerald Hazy fabrics.

  714. P/Kaufmann Adelaide Blue Bell Fabric Please!!!! I would love to have this I have always wanted one but they cost so much. Thank you for all you do and the show is amazing….

  715. They have fabric too? I love the Covington Sumatra in “Summer” but at $33 per yard… Accent pieces right?

  719. I love their Waverly Sun and Shade Luminary fabric and I desperately need to redo my porch cushions. What perfect timing!

  720. What a wonderful chance to have a fantastic machine! Really want to try upholstery and my machine can’t handle it!

  721. I’ve had dreams about this amazing sewing machine! It takes up so little space, and will give me the power to do my projects without the struggle. What an exciting giveaway!

  726. I signed up for the home and marine catalog. We are doing up a 1955 vintage airstream, fifties style, for September to sell at a big Fifties Car Show. I desperately need to do some upholstery work, so finding this catalog has come at a perfect time. I just need something to sew the material! Thank you for the giveaway. 🙂

  727. Luv the orange Sailrite machine! What a treat it’d be to win one.

    My favorite fabric on the Sailrite website was the P/Kaufman Adelaide Oasis ….

  728. I entered for the catalog, but couldn’t figure out how to give Miss Mustard Seed credit. Love your blog!

  731. The fabrics are gorgeous…If I had to pick just one, I like: P/Kaufmann Beatrice Mist Fabric!

  733. What an awesome give away! This would be great to use when I start working on the slipcovers (made with painters drop cloths) that I have in mind for my 2 wing-back chairs.

  735. My sister has one of these fabulous sewing machines and she makes beautiful leather handbags. I want one too!103

  736. okay: at sailrite I like the Ultraleather fabric, 54″ Parrot #104278—maybe my new dining room chair seat fabric!!!!! excited!

  743. The Covington Carraway Vintage Gold Fabric would be perfect for my next project!

  744. Love this machine! Would be so great for reupholstering! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

  747. signed up for the catalogue–wow, there are nice things they offer..the machines look solid, just what I need!

  753. Oh heavens this is the sweetest little machine ever! Between slipcovers, military uniforms, and repairing jeans this gem would get a workout in our home. Thank you so very much for this opportunity!

  755. Thanks for introducing me to Sailrite, I have just signed up for their new 2015 Home Catalog.They indeed have some gorgeous new fabrics, like the delicious fantastical floral and paisley motif screen print Adelaide from P/Kaufmann. It would make a gorgeous ruffed slipcover on a very shabby thrift store chair I have, just screaming to be classed up! How sublime it would be to sew with a new Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1 PLUS, instead of the ‘shabby chic’ machine I borrowed from Wilma Flintstone….

  761. I have been wanting to make quivers and need a better machine than my Bernina. Would LOVE THIS!

  763. Funny….serendipity? I was just thinking about this machine as I broke my Bernina sewing through canvas drop cloth. Aargh! I have slip covers in the making for my sofas so need a stronger work horse! So happy about this giveaway. I’m checking their site now, but as always….computer stalls in the process. Carry on and good luck to us all!

  767. Covington Harrison Plaid I think is in my future – Also, what a wonderful site for fabrics. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. Judy C

  768. Oh My! I have been eyeing these machine for 2 years! I sooo want one. And I just discovered last night that they have fabric too. II love the Dena Homes fabrics – this one, Dena Home 900271 Blissful Bouquet Lemon Meringue – so bright and cheery. Thanks for sponsoring the give-away.

    My catalog is on the way.

  772. I’d love the P/Kaufmann Adelaide Tigerlily Fabric or the Tommy Bahama Outdoor Crescent Beach Riptide Fabric for an Art Nouveau style chair I’ve been eyeing on Craigslist for our Master Bedroom. Also the Covington Lavate Navy Fabric would be beautiful for my dining room chairs. I’d also really love a free upholstery sewing machine!

  773. Just finished reupholstering a club chair this weekend. Really could have used this machine!

  774. Oh how I would love to win this machine! I just finished 7 mo of upholstery training and now I have to buy my own machine. This would be a dream! 🙂

    Lisa

    1. PS I would LOVE to use Kauffman’s Beatrice Ivory fabric for 2 bergere chairs I have!

      Lisa Green

  775. I’ve been wanting to freshen up my sectional for summer…a red tone would seem to punch up the interest! I love the Waverly Inner Soul pattern in Paprika. It would “spice” things up for summer.
    I like the functionality of the Sailrite machine, it would help me to whittle down my fabric stash (yes, I have an addiction!) but I especially love the vintage vibe to the machine and case.

  776. Woo Hoo! Just found your page via my MIL hopefully I’ll have some beginners luck! 😉

    1. I just realized I had a typo in the email of my original post so if I’m picked please contact me at the email with this post not the first one. Thank you!!

  778. I desperately need new cushions for my porch furniture & the Sunbrella 5404-0000 Canvas Natural should do quite nicely.

  782. The Sailrite machine looks amazing (like a piece of art), and I ordered the Home Catalog. Thanks !!

  788. My fabric choice is P/Kauffman Calypso (since there were no flamingo fabrics). Thank you.

  793. WOW This machine sounds great!! I have a old Kenmore thats just to tired. She’s been wonderful but… can’t sew more then two thin layers .

  800. I’m so excited that you and SailRite are collaborating!! I love this fabric P/Kaufmann Hope Chest Pacific Fabric. It reminds me of a tie-dyed fabric and would make a great statement to reinvent one of those cool chairs you are always

  804. Favorite pattern….Harper Home Vanessa Mineral……LOVE the soft blues and yellows

  812. Thank you so much for the opporunity to win a great machine! Their fabrics are wonderful too! I really like P/K Lifestyles outdoor 403700 Seaworthy Marine. Sailrite also has great tutorials – so worth your time to learn new skills!

    I love your two toned chair above, love the yellow and blue, has always stole my heart on those two colors together, it’s so “happy”!!

    Thanks again for offering this!

  872. I have turned over a new and exciting leaf with your help! Slowly I am gaining a following as friends and neighbors watch me try new things like upholstery and painting furniture etc. Thank you for your videos and detailed explanations.
    I have ordered a cataloge as learning good fabrics is another adventure!
    Anyhow, Making piping has already killed my old machine. Would really appreciate another shot at it with one recommended by my Miss Mustard Seed.

  873. This may sound boring, but I am so into the feedsack look that I would probably first sew with their Cotton Duck Off White Fabric. I am pumped now! Who knew that they would carry fabric too!

  874. I was so exited to find a Sailrite giveaway!Just this week I was wishing aloud for a heavy duty machine.I was especially glad to hear that it’s sized for home use.And it’s very attractive.

  875. I like the Harper Home Vivian Thistle fabric – know just the chair I would recover with it!

  876. I’ve signed up for their catalog. The Covington Gatsby Blueberry Fabric is perfect for new curtains and chair covers in my kitchen makeover. Would love it if you would do a workshop on slip overs and/or upholstery and be great to bring this machine with me!

  879. I would love to have said sewing machine. Also love the paisley cinnabar fabric. I have a
    featherweight Singer from 1951 and I think that baby would sew through rocks. I have a
    20 year old Husquvarna Viking and it really gets snitty with thicker fabrics. Thank you Marion.

  880. Wonderful fabrics. P Kaufman are my favs. Quiet in Onyx would be fun to work with in a Bedroom setting.

  883. There are a lot of lovely patterns, but I always seem to actually choose a solid for upholstery. I would love to have the P/Kaufmann Obsession Zephyr Velvet Fabric to recover some things around here.

  884. I am thinking about Covington SD Cecita Seaside Fabric for the living room…

    1. I would love to be able to make curtains and upholster without stressing my 33 year old Singer.

  886. thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to be even more creative in our lives!

  890. Would love to have the sewing machine. My mother has sewn for years and always made the drapes for my home but she has crippling arthritis now and isn’t physically able to sew. She told me she could teach me how to make my own drapes and having this new machine but would be great to learn with!

  891. I love receiving your daily blog posts! I am always so inspired and energized by all of your creations. This machine would be a blessing for my small home decor sewing business…my little machine is growing weary of layers and ruffles as well 😉 Fingers crossed!

  894. I signed up to receive a Sailrite catalog. My home dec sewing would be so much easier with this machine!

  895. Would love to win this machine – it would make my projects so much easier to complete!!

  896. what an exciting giveaway!!! Browsed the catalog, too many beautiful home decor fabrics to pick just one or two. Since I have a need for outdoor cushions on a currently uncomfortable patio set, I would get the sunbrella fabric, spa was the color. this machine would make the job soooo much easier!!! thanks for the opportunity.

  898. I have 2 sofas and 2 chairs that I need to reupholster. I already bought the fabric, a heavy aqua and cream floral. I really could use this machine. I bet the Sailrite will sew through heavy denim. Plus, it sounds like it would make sewing needle point pillows together much easier.
    I would love to win it. It would definitely get used.

  900. I would love to use Waverly’s Moonlit Medallion Golden Fabric for my living room/dining room drapes – my current drapes are made from Waverly fabric and are 18 years old and have held up wonderfully – I love Waverly fabric!

  902. Oooooooo P/Kauffman Adelaide Oasis is my perfect fabric for the colors I’m into right now. All the bright spring colors mixed with chippy furniture is very fresh and fun! Now I will sign up for the catalog!! Be right back!

  904. I would love to update my master bedroom with Kaufmann Trousseau Smokey Amethyst Fabric – sewn on my new machine! 🙂

  905. This is so exciting. I do my own slip covers and you are right…it can be a bear to use my domestic machine for that. Besides I’m a quilter and need to be kind to my machine. 🙂
    I have been following your blog for awhile now and have gotten so many ideas and tips from you and your links.
    I love the way you mix your fabrics on your pieces you do.
    I would love the upholstery machine but then I’m sure ever one on this board would love it and use it too.

  910. OH… sorry. My favorite fabric is:

    P/Kaufmann Beatrice Mist Fabric
    Item #: 106572

    So… this is what I think. I think you do a great job with the blues etc., but to really upgrade to less of the country thing.. (which I am getting a little tired of) I would use this fabric! LOVE IT! Getting their catalogs! So… think about it. You can still be country but just a bit more elegant.

    What do you think? I guess maybe a mix of country and shabby chic!

    I LOVE THIS COLOR AND DESIGN.

    Signed up for their catalog!

    – Margot

  911. I would love to win this machine. I have 2 sofas and 2 chairs to reupholster. I already bought the fabric, a heavy aqua and cream floral. I love to sew, so this machine would really come in handy.

  938. wow, the P/Kaufmann Outdoor Zoie Tangerine Fabric is just perfect for my outdoor cushions, especially right now that it’s Fiesta time here in San Antonio, Texas!

  941. I have been watching reupholstering videos on YouTube and talking to my neighbor who has a professional workroom. I want to try my hand at it but only have a lightweight machine. The fact that the Sailrite machine is smaller & portable is huge to me.

    I like the Covington Day Tripper Graphite fabric.

    I requested the home catalog!

  943. Yay… I requested the catalog!! Can’t wait to get it! Please pick me!!!

  944. Can’t wait for the catalog to arrive in my mail!
    Would love to win this sewing machine! What a blessing that would be.

  945. It’s so funny, I just looked up your old post last week and went to Silrite’s websit to look around. I was suprised to see they carried fabric. I’ll go take a second look now. Someone’s going to be very happy, hope it’s me! By the way, your blog is the first one I ever found and read, and it’s still the first I check out daily. Love everything you do Marian, it doesn’t hurt that blue has alway been my favorite color too.

  948. Swoon! There are so many beautiful fabrics, it’s hard to choose! I love the Braemore Henrietta Turqoise and several of the P/Kaufmann including the Junoon Cumin.

    and thanks for the link to Sailrite site – the fabrics are so diverse!

    Vickie

  956. Oh I would absolutely love to win this and thank you for answering for your readers. You know us so well.:)

  958. Love your blog, I’ve learned so much !!! So thankful at the chance to win this machine.

    Waverly Moonlit Medallion Celestial
    PKaufmann Outdoor Zoie Turquoise
    Jennifer Adams Home Laval Seafoam
    Waverly On Key Navy
    Waverly 676722 Tennyson Jewel

  962. This would be great to use for all the sewing projects I have in mind. My machine had served me well but it’s a hand-me down Kenmore from the 60’s

  963. An amazing prize! I didn’t know there was such a machine…hmmmm! I am in the process of making slip covers for my dining chairs, and boy would this help!

  964. Oh how I would love to have a sewing machine like that. I feel also like I am at the end of my rope with my sewing machine on projects. I recently purchased a ruffler attachment because my sewing machine wasn’t capable of adjusting the tension enough to achieve ruffling fabric. Thank you for the chance.

  965. Visited the home decor fabric page! LOVE the P/kaufmann Beatrice Midnight fabric so much that I ordered a sample! Thanks so much for sharing this site 🙂

  968. Okay…I have checked out the site and ordered a catalogue. I really liked their selection and the prices are better then the source I have been using.
    I have never in my live wanted French bere or wooden type wing chair. I just could not see how one would fit my homes style. Since following your blog I am on the hunt. You have opened my eyes to what can be done with them. I’m afraid I have been missing some opportunities but I will make up for it once I find one.
    Keep up the good work.

  969. Oh please, oh please pick me!!! I signed up for the catalog. Kaufmann is one of my favorite lines and I am dying to reupholster my old arm chair with Obsession Aegean Velvet Fabric.

  970. miss mustard see, I signed up to get both catalogs and put you as my friend! thanks.

  971. I would love to make pillows for a bench out of the Covington Kashmin Spring fabric!

  972. So many beautiful fabric choices! Those that caught my eye were P/Kaufman Sariz Pearl, P/Kaufman Quiet Refuge Robins Egg, P/Kaufman Align Flax, and P/Kaufman Leopard Safari.

  975. I just had two french chairs returned to me after fifteen years. I would love to recover them in a grain sack material. My Kenmore is forty years old and still reliable but not good anymore on thicker material. The new machine for this type of work would be wonderful. Thanks

  978. I would love to reupolster a 1940’s victorian couch in Covington clearwater sand fabric-about

  983. It’s so funny, just last week I looked up your old post, so I could checkout Sailrite’s machines on their website. I was surprised to find they carried décor fabric. Someone will be very happy to win one of their machines, hope it’s me! By the way, yours is the first blog I ever found and read and it’s still the first one I check each day. Love everything you do Marian, it doesn’t hurt that blue has always been my favorite color too.

  984. Loving this give away! Last thing I won was at a county fair! Visions of using his heavy duty machine to its max! Thanks Marian & Sailrite!!

  987. Thanks for being such an inspiration Marion! You keep me going! Love seeing you pursue your dreams!

    P/Kaufmann Liora Manne Mad Plaid Bermuda 54″ Fabric
    P/Kaufmann Jamboree Lake Fabric
    P/Kaufmann Garden Craft Scarlet Fabric

    My next project is going to be a footstool, and hopefully I’ll be brave enough then to tackle the wing chair that goes with it!

    Thanks for this link, as well as the giveaway!

  992. I “think” I signed up………At least I signed up on the website but It wouldn’t let me connect
    to their catalogs. I really wanted their home catalog. As they say in New England,
    You can’t get there from here. So I hope that counts. I will try again later. Maybe there were
    so many people trying to get on the site. As I see there are many many comments here.

  993. Would really love a new sewing machine! I have been babying my OLD Kenmore along for a few years now! My husband gave it to me as a gift many years ago. I could hand it down to my daughter if I win a new Sailrite machine!!

  995. I definitely need th Covington Clearwater in Smoke fabric my couch slip covers are beginning to need to be redone.

  1000. I love all that you do and would really like having an upholstery-worthy sewing machine.

  1003. Thanks for sharing the Sailrite web site. I would not have found it without your suggestion. I am signed up for their catalog and looking forward to it’s arrival. After this terrible winter in the Northeast I will have to go with the Waverly Solar Flair Lime/ Indigo fabric. That will brighten my day. Love to win the Sailrite machine. I will be happy to share it with my two daughter-in-laws who love to sew home decor also.

  1004. On the Fabrics, I liked Covington SD Cecita Seaside Fabrica, This would nice on a dinning room chairs.

  1009. I love P/Kaufman fabrics, and I loved these at Sailrite especially:
    P/Kaufman Beatrice Oatmeal
    P/Kaufman Quiet Refuge Canary
    P/Kaufman Snow Leopard Blaze (perfect for my living room!)
    P/Kaufman Mantra Spark (I want pillows out of this!)

  1011. Signed up for their home catalog. Thanks for introducing their site and catalog, getting ready to browse.

  1012. Hi Marion, I’l say it again…..you are the best ! Much appreciation for all you do ! Wonderful giveaway ! Thank you ! Anne

  1013. Had a lot of fun checking out all the home decor fabrics, and was particularly drawn to the HGTV Home Fully Laced in Turquoise

  1015. I need this!! I am looking at making clip covers and curtains for my dining room…I’m taking this as a sign from heaven!
    Thank you for the opportunity!

  1018. Would love to play with a new machine—and try a slipcover for a chair I’ve been storing and staring at for too long! Maybe the Kaufman Beatrice Wildberry–red, so when I sew my finger and bleed(every time), it won’t show!!!

  1019. I would love to have this machine so that I could sew my upholstery projects at home instead of having to take an upholstery class!

  1020. Wow! What a wonderful give away and opportunity! I, too, have tried slipcovers, but finally gave up due to not having an appropriate machine. Would so love to win! You do remarkable work;true talent.

  1022. I would absolutely love to have this machine. I have many projects for myself, family, and friends that i plan to work on, and my old 1965 Kenmore has been a great little machine, but not up to doing heavy material. This would be such a perfect machine to have. I love the P/Kaufmann Adelaide Tigerlily, Oasis, and Mint fabrics. I have signed up for the Sailrite 2015 Home Catalog.

  1024. The paisley pop lake is shouting my name, and many more grabbed my attention. The site makes me want to redecorate…well..everything!

  1025. I love to sew and clunk along on my vintage White sewing machine. Winning the Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1 Plus would be a DREAM!

  1027. Thanks for being such an inspiration Marion! You keep me going! Love seeing you pursue your dreams

  1028. What a great giveaway! I am always worried about damaging my regular sewing machine with thicker fabrics, so I keep putting off those jobs. This machine would be great to have.

  1030. I love the P/Kaufman Beatrice Midnight fabric. What a neat giveaway. Now to get their catalog. Thanks bunches….

    Rowena

  1032. I like a lot of their fabrics, but my two favorites are the Covington Baregat Plaid and the Tradewinds Sunshine striped.

  1033. I need this! I’m looking to slipcover my dining room chairs and make new curtains so I am taking this as a sign from heaven! Thank you for the opportunity!

  1035. I have ordered a catalog. The subscription asked how I found their website but MMS was not among the available responses…so I put friend…

  1036. #2 – Love the Sunbrella Cabaret Blue fabric. New covers for outdoor furniture. Maybe I’ll use it on an indoor chair too! Love it!

  1037. This looks like a fabulous machine. I would love to receive it. Sailrite has so many beautiful fabrics. I especially love the P/Kaufmann Adelaide Tigerlily, Mist, and Oasis fabrics. I have signed up for their 2015 Home Catalog. Thank you for the opportunity to win this machine.

  1038. I would love to make drapes for my living room with P/Kaufmann Adelaide Blue Bell Fabric.

  1040. I’m a quilter and I use antique machines to sew. I’m also starting to use a treadle. This would be a great addition to my machine herd for heavier projects!

    It looks awesome — I thought it was a vintage machine at first glance. Thanks for the chance to win!!!

  1043. Oh my goodness this would be an amazing machine to own!!! My little machine isn’t strong enough for upholstery jobs so I just dream about them!

  1044. I have a $99 sewing machine that ‘s not up to the task of upholstrey but I can’t afford a better machine at this point, so I would love to have this machine. I am looking forward to looking at their fabric and signing up for their catalog.

    1. I failed to mention that I love Sunbrella 45936-0000 Accord II Crimson 54″ Upholstery Fabric. I’m just drawn to red and I love the pattern.

  1046. The P/Kaufmann Pick Up Line Cream Fabric is exactly what I have been looking for for covering cushions on a living room chair. Just what I wanted, but haven’t been able to find elsewhere!

  1047. I love several of their fabrics, but my top choice would be p/Kaufman paisley pop Lake fabric #106581! Love paisley.

  1051. I have online fabric commitment issues. LOL! I love me a good stripe, like the Waverly 677051 Valentina/Circa Platinum. But I’m also leaning toward the P/Kaufmann Temara Turmeric.

  1052. Because of your wonderfully inspirational blog and tutorials, I recently purchased a chair from a garage sale and currently teaching myself how to do upholstery. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with others!

  1054. WOW! what a great machine. I would love to redo some things in my home with the sunbrella white fabric.

  1055. I would love to win the Sailrite machine! My Bernina struggles with heavier fabrics, and I’m doing more upholstery these days!

  1057. Oh my goodness this would be an amazing machine to own!!! My little machine isn’t strong enough for upholstery jobs so I just dream about them! I love the Covington Tangier Wheat fabric!!!

  1058. My attempt at an ottoman cover made from a drop cloth failed miserably. The motor of my domestic sewing machine kept freezing and flashing the overload signal. I had to stop before finishing the project because I feared destroying the machine. It would be wonderful to have a sewing machine that is up to the task.

  1059. I signed up for both catalogs. Please please please let me win this beautiful sewing machine for my talented granddaughter.

  1062. Probably one of the Sunbrella stripes for my outdoor furniture. Requested my catalog. Can’t wait to see. And oh I’m glad to know about this I live on the gulf coast and have two boats. Need to do some work on them as well.

  1064. WOW!! I just found your blog. this machine is amazing. i am always sewing heavy duty stuff (denim, brocade, chenille, upholstery, etc.)— and the other day i watched a you tube tutorial on cushions by someone using a sailright machine. I was in love!!! i love the way a good machine runs…… i had a vintage volkswagen that sounded like it had a sewing machine motor, or was it the other way around???
    fun & games. would love to win!!! thanks for considering.

  1065. I made one of your drop cloth slipcovers last year…on a $60 sewing machine. Small bit of torture, but a much better chair. Seems like a Sailrite would be playing with a monster truck compared to my Matchbox!

  1066. Hi Marion, I’ll say it again …you are the best !!!!! Thank you for the best giveaway ! Just signed up for the catalog……much appreciation ! You have me hooked on all the blue plaids….so classic … Anne

  1068. Loving the Harper Home Victoria Tiger Lily for me.

    P/Kaufmann Gentle Gesture Carnival makes me want to redo my daughter’s room!

  1069. I’ve requested Sailrite’s Home Catalog. Just two of the many fabrics that caught my eye were Covington SD Cecita Seaside #106669 and Jennifer Adams Home Ascot Bluebell #106055.

  1070. I would love to work with the Free Range Sunshine fabric and the Early Bird Stipe black fabric to name a few.

  1071. Oooooh, I would love that sewing machine. I’m currently using my Grandmothers old White and same as you, it still works great, but I feel that I “tax” it a bit some days…..

  1072. I made one of your drop cloth slipcovers last year…with a $60 machine. Seems like a Sailrite would be like playing with a monster truck compared to my Matchbox!

  1073. Love the Covington Tangier Fabric as I am looking for a neutral, hope this goes through the comment section is acting up!

  1078. Wow, they have some beautiful fabrics, have requested a catalog but any of the “greens” (unlike you and blues) – Covington Heirloom Jane Leaf , Harper Home Victoria Mojito, Harper Home Vanessa Mojito……..

  1079. Thanks for sharing Sailrite.com resource.

    P/Kaufmann Beatrice Mist Fabric

    $25.95 /YD

  1080. I signed up for the catalog. Home dec fabric can be used for garment sewing as well.
    Thank you for your inspiration!

  1081. This would be such a blessing to win as I want to help support my family with upholstery work and have been learning and fighting a small, old, cheaper sewing machine. This would come at just the right miraculous moment.

  1082. I have been using the same sewing machine that my dad bought me for my 18th birthday, that was 50 years ago, I think I’m about ready for a new machine. Going to look at the fabric site, I think I have a serious fabric thing, its everywhere, drawers, closets, sewing closet – I mean everywhere and I will defintely sign up for their catalogue. Thanks

  1083. I’m reupholstering a chair today, and I have a slip cover to make tomorrow, so like most of your subscribers, I would LOVE to own this machine. I’ve signed up for their catalog and I love the following fabric:
    P/Kaufmann Samarkand Ruby 54″ Fabric

    regardless of the outcome, I’m buying this fabric to reupholster a bench to go in my daughter’s room. It’s so wonderful!!

  1087. This Sailrite machine would not only be great for me to do upholstery work, but for my husband who needs to do boat seat cushions and boat covers….we may have to work on a schedule for its use?! I love 2 fabrics, P Kaufmann Beatrice Ivory and P Kaufmann Adelaide. I ordered the catalog and cannot wait to get it so that I can check further for some prints to coordinate together. Thanks for all the inspiration you give…it really helps!

  1092. I would love to win this machine and I would share it with my neighbor who can slipcover anything that doesn’t move! Being a portable would work great for sharing.

  1101. I would love to win that machine! We are in the process of remodeling an older house and every window needs coverings.
    I love the P/Kaufmann line, the Hopscotch Indigo and the Adelaide Blue Bell are my favorite.

  1104. I’d love to use this fabric in my living room redo: PKaufmann Adelaide Oasis Fabric

  1106. I’m bold and brave with two french chairs in dire need of new fabric. I’ve watched your reupholstery tutorials many times! I can do this – just need a machine, I really like PKaufman Adelaide mist fabric. I signed up for a catalog. Thank you for your inspiration!!!!

  1111. The Pucker Up Stripe Marine would be my choice. I followed your tutorial on slip covering my wingback chair. Let’s just say with the proper machine and a great fabric it could look a whole lot better!

  1114. Yes, please! I would love to win this upholstery sewing machine! I have been wanting to try reupholstering a french chair that we have that’s in desperate need of a makeover! If I’m able to master it, I would like to add upholstery to our furniture business. I’ve sewn lots of things, but upholstering seems so scary! Marian, you make it look easy, or at least you make it seem like I could tackle it. Thank you!

  1115. I love fabric so it was fun to look at the site. I really liked the Temara Tumeric, the Sariz Saddle and the Adelaide Platinum.

  1117. I’d love to be able to re-upholster my living room couch and love seat, and sew new curtains for our living room and dining room. We live in a Cape Cod with a somewhat similar layout to your house, so I need curtains for four big windows across the front of the house. Sadly, my current machine isn’t up to the task.

  1120. I’ve ordered the catalog, look forward to seeing all the fabric choices, thanks for the opportunity!

  1122. This sewing machine sounds great! I would love to win it. I have sewn all my life and would love a machine for heavy duty upholstery!

  1123. I’m rather fond of the P/Kaufmann Beatrice Hollyhock Fabric
    Item #: 106575. I’m swooning over that sewing machine.

  1124. I absolutely have signed up for the catalogue, online, in mail and boat (outdoor fabrics and specialty hardware, especially cleats and grommets, yum).

  1125. I signed up for the catalog; I love the Covington buffalo check – especially the truffle, but I like all the plains.; and now I’m leaving a comment, baby needs shoes! Ha!

  1126. My son and I are remaking a shed out back – the possibility shed – and its main purpose is a place to work on furniture finds – this is so exciting!

  1129. I ordered the catalog and can’t wait to get it. A cup of coffee and a good catalog is heavenly!

  1132. Ooo! I would love to have that machine! I just ordered 8 new chairs that need cushions.

  1133. I have a chair that needs a little lovin. The P/Kaufmann Beatrice Midnight Fabric would look awesome!

  1135. I’d love the P/Kaufman Adelaide Mist, or P/Kaufman Adelaid Blue Bell fabric for my curtains, and the Tommy Bahama Cayo Vista Riptide fabric for outdoor cushions for our porch swing.

  1138. OK — I have done all these things now. 3! The fabric I need is the Safari Fuchsia. I would love to win this machine because I have several projects in the works, and I have already messed up my Elna a couple of times sewing on things that are too heavy.

  1140. I am not seeing the comment I posted. Hope I am not duplicating. Thanks for the giveaway opportunit. LOTS to sewing to do and lots of fabric to buy !

  1142. And, I ordered the catalog and wow…looked at the fabrics, that’s dangerous. I love any of the ‘pucker up’ colors, but the #106574 and the #106645 are winners for my home. thank you for the opportunity. Fun just to look and dream. You know the best things!

  1144. count me in on the machine! I am using my old inexpensive machine and I am praying that it makes it through my slipcover. This machine would be a dream!

  1151. I really need this sewing machine. I currently use the student model Bernina that my mom bought used in 1975. She used it to make many beautiful things including my wedding dress. I have used to make clothes for myself and my kids, ties for my husband, curtains and pillows and even a bag for our tent. But these days I don’t enjoy sewing like I used to because the old machine just doesn’t run like it used to. I would like to do some upholstering but I can’t with my old girl. I’d love the chance to try!

  1154. I interested in the Sailrite machine line. Thank you for the information and opportunity to win one!

  1156. I love the Sunbrella Pioneer Sunrise–so bright and cheery! I’m trying to get out of my brown/tan drabness! What a great give away!

  1157. I love Harper Home Vivian Bouquet Fabric! I’ll make pillows for my Goodwill chalk painted sofa and chair!

  1159. Hi there! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a Sailrite! My husband and I live on our Pearson 36-5 sailboat half of the year with our three-year-old daughter, Claire, and are hoping to move completely on board in the next year! Our needs are always evolving and a Sailrite would be a godsend!!

  1160. I signed up to have the home catalog sent to me, but I was also able to download the catalog right from the web site!

  1163. So in need of a new sewing machine mine no longer reverses, so cannot over sticht 🙁

  1166. I don’t have a website, but I have a facebook page. My business name is Bullfrogs and Butterflies, so my facebook is http://www.facebook.com/frogsandflies. I would love winning this great machine! I have been making wreaths, aprons, throws, etc. for years, but recently I have been moving into recovering cushions, making pillows, and using lots of denim which require a heavier machine than I have. So, please, let me win it!!!

  1168. Some trouble with site. Always love your fabrics selection. Looking forward to receiving the catalog.

  1169. I have asked to have a catalog sent. I’m really in need of a new machine so this is a very timely blog post. Thank you.

  1172. I have a home based slipcover business and the Sailrite would make life so much easier !

  1173. Hi! Oh the things I could create with this machine. I love this giveaway!

    Thank you,

    ~Priscilla

  1175. I want to win this sewing machine! I love all of the fabrics! I will be moving into a new home soon and I’ll be ready to start sewing and reupholstering and making curtains and pillows!

  1177. That Sailrite machine would be perfect at my house! I do smaller projects (sewing multiple layers together for book covers–layers of ruffles, lace, vintage fabric, etc.)! Somedays it feels like my machine might start smoking! My husband sews and repairs tents and sleeping bags for his scout troops! This would be so awesome!!

  1179. All my life I’ve wished for an upholstery machine. It’s hard to imagine anything that would brighten my life more than a Sailrite!! Many thanks for the opportunity to enter the drawing . . .

  1181. Hi my loved one! I wish to say that this post is awesome,
    great written and include approximately all vital infos.
    I’d like to look extra posts like this .

  1183. I just requested a catalog and when I get it I’ll start shopping from home!!!

  1187. Miss Mustard Seed inspires me every day! This sewing machine would transform my daily work. Currently, I have a $20 machine I’m using from a garage sale. Thanks!

  1188. I would love to win the Sailrite sewing machine. What a generous give-away! Also I loved the Adelaide blue fabric.

  1189. I signed up for the newsletter. Don’t. See my other comments but I love the Country toile.

  1190. All my sewing life I have wished for an upholstery machine. This is a great opportunity for us all! Many thanks for the opportunity to enter the drawing . . .

  1191. Just signed up for the marine catalog! So many cute fabrics to help make our sailboat feel even more like home for our family of three!

  1192. Would love to win. Did as asked. I love Beatrice midnight fabric. Catalog on its way.

  1193. Just browsed the fabrics and really like the P/Kaufmann Beatric midnight fabric. It would make some beautiful pillows. I chose to download the catalog rather than order (I try to avoid paper catalogs when possible). Thanks for the chance to win!!!

  1194. Oh what fun! A machine that can keep up with me and all the projects I have going on! I signed up for the catalog and I LOVE the P/Kaufmann Adelaide Blue Bell Fabric fabric! It would be perfect in my guest bedroom. Ok, I love the Free Range Black…with the roosters, too! Perfect for my Kitchen. I also like the blue plaid you have picked out….and I can find a dozen fabrics for my daughter’s new home……….Awesome site for fabric…excited for a chance to win!!

  1201. Always wanted one of these machines. My first project would be curtains using P/KAUFMAN BEATRICE MIDNIGHT. Can not wait until I receive my catalog. Just signed up.

  1204. Not sure my choice of fabric comment showed up so I will resubmit that I would pick the awning
    fabric in era mist.

  1205. Wow! My colleague sent this to me because she knew I had so badly wanted a heavier-duty sewing machine for upholstery and other types of heavy mediums and my jaw is on the floor! Did I miss the deadline? I would LOVE to work with this machine and even if I don’t get to be a winner, I’m so excited to peruse this site both for my own private use and for all of my art students! Super amazing!

  1206. Oh, my goodness, Marion! Everything in my house needs covering or re-covering. We are starting this week on painting the walls and the upholstery and window coverings will be next. Would love to be able to make my own!

  1208. I love the cotton duck to make versatile, neutral slip covers for furniture. My granddaughter and her husband are just starting a family – so repurposing “gently loved” furniture is absolutely in their future. That way, she can dress them up with colorful pillows but the inevitable baby barf could be washed out. LOL This machine would make the construction of washable slip covers an absolute dream. I have been sewing for more than 50 years – and my passion just keeps growing. My wonderful Pfaff cannot handle the heavy materials and piping on slip covers. This is a sewer’s dream!

  1209. Sailrite website was technical difficulties and would not display any of the fabrics – but the Tommy Bahama fabrics looked great in the “teaser”!!

  1210. I love P/Kaufman Paisley Park Mimosa and PK Lifestyles Puckerup Stripe Domino are a few favs!

  1213. I would love to use this fabric (P/Kaufmann Obsession Mink Velvet Fabric) from the Sailrite to reupholster a settee that has been given to me. This settee is my favorite piece, but is in great need of a facelift.

  1217. Wow! What a beautiful sewing machine! I would love to make slip covers and the chair pads with ruffles – lots of fabric layers! Right now I have a 43 year old basic Singer machine that my husband bought new for me the first year of our marriage! I’m going to head on over to check out the fabrics.

  1218. I looked at the home décor fabric, and their PKauffman Elegance Mist would be a definite 1st choice to work with!

  1219. Miss Mustard Seed, your blog inspires me to make my home a prettier, more comfortable space and that sewing machine would certainly help in my endeavors.

  1222. many fabrics caught my eye 🙂 but I would choose Waverly Strands Navy Fabric today!

  1224. I’ve been wanting to learn to sew so that I can upholster cushions, etc. for my home. This would be a great motivator!

  1227. What a wonderful and creative giveaway! I just finished a 6 week upholstery class and loved it! This sewing machine would have me reupholstering everything in my house!

  1228. Would LOVE to win this machine !! Mine is 45 years old and while it still performs admirably, cannot handle multiple layers of fabric. Thank you so much for hosting !!!

  1229. i have wanted a heavy-duty machine for quite some time but the price has always been out of reach. For upholstery, mending jeans, making tote bags, so many things that require more power than the regular machine.

  1230. Love the P/Kaufmann Quiet Refuge Robins Egg Fabric. I have no idea how I would use it but it’s beautiful. Maybe I could start with a pillow. 🙂

  1231. I want that machine!!!!! – I am about embark on a velvet slipcover that would be awesome to have!!!! But I’d be happy for anyone to receives it. Love your blog : )

  1234. This would be a fantastic machine to sew on! Lots of comments so chances are slim but very happy to find a new site to buy fabrics. Thank you! I ordered both catalogs & I saw a fabric called Piña Colada Island in my favourite shade of blue! I have followed you for several years & love how you have developed your paints & your fantastic sewing & decorating skills! Best Wishes!

  1236. I’ve been wanting to learn how to sew so that I can reupholster sofas, cushions, etc. for my home without having to buy new. This would be a great motivator!

  1237. This is a fantastic prize! I thought at first, reading your post, that you were giving away your old one because you were getting a new one. THAT would have been fantastic! But the prize is a brand new machine that would so help me with my goal of learning to reupholster! Fingers crossed!

  1238. I like the fabric Covington Heirloom Jane Rose Red. The playful polka dot pattern puts me in a summer state of mind and it would look great on my patio cushions.

  1241. Following your blog, being inspired by the wonderful work you create and having you “right by my side” as I follow along on your tutorials – what more can you ask! You are like a true friend – inspiring, caring and funny to beat! Thank you for all you do. And yes, who wouldn’t want one of these beautiful sewing machines. Count me in!

  1242. Hi Marian, super giveaway.

    I’ve tried several upholstery projects before and not one of them turned out the way I envisioned in my head. I must work up my nerve to try again.

    Of course, a new machine wouldn’t hurt-lol.

    Good luck to all.

  1244. Just signed up for the catalog. Can not wait to make dining room curtains out of P/KAUFMAN BEATRICE MIDNIGHT FABRIC using my new Sailrite sewing machine. Good Luck everyone.

  1245. I signed up for the beautiful fabric catalog and would love to reupholster my vintage ivy terrace cushions in this fabric. Sunbrella 45922-0001 Accord Koi 54″ Upholstery Fabric with contrasting orange piping.

    Char
    chosmo79@hotmail.com

  1246. How timely! We just bought a house and I was thinking how lucky I am that I never gave way my Duo Fast stapler since I really want to furnish that new house with many more upholstered pieces. And now THIS? Awesome. Hope to see you in Lucketts!

  1248. I really like the stripes, especially this color…

    P/K Lifestyles Pucker Up Stripe Currant Fabric.

  1249. Love this giveaway!!! Hope I win. I love the P/Kaufmann Snow Leopard Spa Fabric. Would love to sew on this for a project in my home office!!

  1250. I can get lost in the fabric! Here are a few I liked: Harper Home Marcelle Cafe, Waverly Strands Birch, Covington Lavate Linen, Sunbrella 4988-0000 Cooper Black 46″ Awning Stripe

  1252. Wow, they have some beautiful fabrics. Thanks for the opportunity to win a machine AND for the new fabric resource—our local independent home decor fabric store closed so having this new resource is very, very helpful.

  1253. I have been using my Grandmothers 1926 Singer sewing machine on all my projects. Don’t get me wrong, I love that little girl, but I need to graduate to something more durable for upholstery work.

  1255. Signing up for the Sailrite Catalog complete !!!! Thank you for this opportunity !

  1257. Marian, How my imagination runs wild when looking at all the gorgeous fabrics! Two fabrics that popped out immediately were Covington SD Clearwater Salsa (red) & Williamsburg Lightfoot Garden Cinnabar Fabric (this would also look wonderful with your blue check chairs you recently did). I would cover my couch in the red and accent with a chair or two with the Lightfoot Garden Cinnabar ~ beauuuuuutiful!!! Thanks so much for this opportunity!

  1258. I would love to win the sewing machine for my sister who is always doing projects for our family (and friends) and she could really use a better sewing machine.

  1265. I really like the P/Kaufmann Snow Leopard Spa fabric. Would work great for a chair in my bedroom.

  1267. OH I HOPE I AM CHOSEN FOR THIS WONDERFUL PRIZE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TAKE
    MY TALENTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITHOUT SPENDING THE 1000.00 THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE JUMP TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

    THANKS MISS MUSTARD SEED FOR THE CHANCE OF GETTING THERE!!!

  1271. Love this giveaway! I have been an avid reupholsterer for a while and although my machine does a decent job with upholstery fabrics, it would be a dream to have the Sailrite Utrafeed. Thanks for the opportunity to own this beauty.

  1276. Wow! I would love to have this machine for when I make home decor items and slipcovers!

  1277. I would love to win the sewing machine. I bought a pair of chairs at an auction that came with footstools. They are in great shpe but I don’t care for the upholstery. I ordered the sailrite home catalog and went to their website and fell in love with Covington Veranda Verde & Covington Veranda Sand. It would be wonderful to be able to able to reupholster my new chairs.

  1279. I love the classic look of Williamsburg Lightfoot Garden Cinnabar Fabric. The Sailrite looks like my kind of machine!

  1281. I love this print. It’s so pleasing to my eyes ! Kaufmann-Le-Jardin-Chocolate-Fabric

  1284. Gah! I’ve been dreaming of a heavy duty machine for YEARS!! I hope it’s me that gets it!! 😉

  1286. What a great selection of fabrics! I would probably choose PKaufman’s Obsession Midnight Velvet to cover the dining room chairs I’m refinishing.

  1292. Would love to win this sewing machine to begin my first slipcover project with one of the Sailright Fabrics!

  1294. The Beatrice Tigerlily by P/Kaufmann is absolutely amazing! I can see it in a beautiful accent chair. You cannot go wrong with this shade of orange.

  1296. Would to win this machine. I sew a lot of leather and I am sure this machine would make it a lot easier!

  1297. Hi Marian,
    I would love to own one of their machines. Actually, I was looking on their website just last week (from your sidebar) drooling over the possibilities. My faithful sewing machine is a Kenmore from 29 years ago. It still sews well, but cannot do heavy material or multiple thick layers. I’m hoping to do some slipcovers for our furniture this year, and some sewing for my daughter’s new apartment as well.
    My thanks to you and to the Sailrite Company for making this opportunity possible.

  1300. I had to read your words twice! ” I Started shopping for a proper machine” Some wisdom here I should have known years ago…I found more than one lovely fabric for several projects 🙂 but know We could use some outdoor pillows with the P/Kaufman Outdoor Ahoy Blue Marine . I signed up for the catalog/s. Thanks for this chance and your willingness to share you knowledge. Kathy

  1302. OK, ALL SIGNED UP FOR THE HOME CATALOG TOO.

    WILL BE WAITING WITH BAITED BREATH FOR WEDNESDAY’S RESULT.

  1303. I am so hoping to win this machine! I feel so inspired to really get into those bigger sewing projects again. I wish all of you good luck, with just a insy bitsy more good luck for me!!!

  1306. I think your site thinks I’m a robot. I took too long to pick a soup. I hope you know what I’m talking about! I would love to win an upholstery sewing machine. Thank you so much for the chance!

  1309. This would be SO awesome to win this machine! So many beautiful fabrics – hard to choose just one, but for a project I have in mind, I would choose the P/Kaufmann Trousseau Vapor Fabric. I definitely signed up for their catalog! Thank you for a fabulous giveaway, Marian!

  1310. I’m in the market for some outdoor fabric. I loved both the Sunbrella Tommy Bahama Outdoor Medallion Island Riptide Fabric or the Waverly Sun N Shade Santa Maria Mimosa Fabric. What?! Only $9.95/yard!

  1315. Enjoy reading your blog everyday. Great inspiration. Would love to win the machine too!

  1316. I would love to try a sewing project with the Harper Home Vanessa Mojito Fabric!! So pretty and so my style! I visited their site to find this fabric!

  1317. Would love to have some P Kaufman Leaf Forever Yolk to stitch up on my new sewing machine. Signed up for the catalog too!

  1321. I love the Covington fabric . . . .and many others are quite lovely as well. WOW!

    Looking forward to their catalogue and said I heard about them through a friend. . . .an on-line friend I guess that would be!!

    Looks like a fun machine. .. .need to look into these! FUN colors!

  1322. Love the Covington I Need a Dollar Lobster fabric. It would look great on my dining room chairs!

  1325. How exciting. I could have written your post myself. Oh, the things I put my little old sewing machine through. A sailrite would be a dream come true! Thanks for the chance!

  1327. All signed up for the catalog. Thanks for filling us in on another source for great fabrics.

  1328. Catalog is great. Love all the Waverly fabrics and how they are grouped by coordinating colors.

  1329. I requested my catalog and you have to pick from a list of options how you heard about Sailrite. There wasn’t a Miss Mustard Seed option so I chose (from a) Friend 🙂

  1330. Awesome opportunity to win! Thank you for posting this offer on your blog. Longtime follower now.

  1331. If I won the Sailrite sewing machine, I would not only reupholster my dining room chairs (from the ’80’s)and create a pad for my breakfast table bench but I start a home based sewing business. The portability of Sailrite is incredible. With 3 generation sharing the same house; a sewing room is not an option. I too, have a dining room table that serves as the center of my universe. I would have to select the Picasso Cotton Duck #8 off white …can you tell I am living in the dream, in my mind already?!
    Thank you for the inspiration and opportunity!

    1. I signed up for the SAILRITE HOME CATALOG. As Laurie S. posted prior, I selected I heard about SAILRITE from a friend. Thank you, again…I feel like I won a catalog!

  1332. Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful sewing machine! I love all of your sewing projects and would love to try them myself with a proper machine.

  1335. Just reupholstered a vintage sofa using various fabrics from House for Fabrics! I did very little of the work myself, but watched daily as a very cool gal completed the project for me. Goal is to now teach myself to sew and complete a chair all on my own!

  1339. Hi!I would LOVE to win this awesome seeing machine! My mom had an old one that she gave us that has finally seen it’s last stitch 🙁 I love the Garden Craft seafoam fabric and I ordered the home catalog!
    Thanks!

  1340. Love the Harper Home Vivien Mogito fabric…greys and yellows…perfect for a chair back and seat! Wonderful new discovery…a new fabric site!

  1344. I visited the Sailrite Home Decor Fabric page, browsed around and am letting you know my favorite print is P/Kaufmann Coral Craze Red Snapper 54″ Fabric.

  1345. I received this message when I signed up for the 2015 Home Catalog online.

    Thank You!
    Your catalog request has been submitted.

    Angela W.

  1347. Needed more browsing time to chose my favorite fabric….many favs to choose from.
    What a wonderful giveaway! and thanks for sharing the fabric site.

  1348. I have an old Kenmore zigzag portable that will sew through most anything. The old heavy duty metal machines are the best!

  1349. What a nice machine, would certainly make life easier. Going to sign up for catalog too.

  1352. Oh, I would love that machine. Great idea for a give away.
    p.s. love your blog/pics etc.

  1353. I love all the P.Kaufman florals and the sand dollar print. I’ve never heard of Sailrite before, so I’m going to buy some fabric.

  1354. Love Sailrite’s selection of fabrics! I see a shopping spree in my future. Thanks for the opportunity to win this Sailrite Ultrafeed. Perhaps my next project will look more like yours and I will be tempted to begin my own blog featuring my projects. 🙂

  1359. Love this! I want to do more with upholstery but I was limited by my equipment.

  1360. I would LOVE to win this machine! I cannot do any upholstery on my $75 machine I bought from Walmart!

  1362. My Singer sewing finally broke after several years of sewing. I would be thrilled to win the new Sailrite machine. Thank You!!

  1364. Oh how I can use this machine! I’m about to attempt my first ever slipcover for my couch! A daunting task to go for on the first try but I’m desperate!! By total coincidence, I just got my Sailrite catalog in the mail last week and am blown away with the fabric choices.
    Please, oh please, let me win!!!
    regards,
    Lisa

  1365. I found lovely fabric for my project. I would love to work with P/Kaufmann’s Finders Keepers French Blue, #105070. Thanks!

  1366. I love to sew for the home and I totally agree that my sweet $150 machine is just not up to the challenge of multiple fabrics or heavy duty fabrics. What a difference this machine would make!

  1370. I just completed reupholstering my first chair after watching your tutorials. Thanks for your generous spirit!

  1372. Wow. P’Kaufmann’s Feathered Friends Cardinal pattern- what fun.
    Thanks for the chance to win a great machine.

  1375. Would love to win this machine! I need to recover my outdoor cushions and only have a little old Singer portable.

  1378. Hi there! I”ve taken an upholstery course and I love it, I can’t express how much I love working with my hands and being creative. Winning an Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1 Plus would be a miracle.

  1379. Oh my goodness! What a fantastic machine. I would LOVE to have a new machine to help with all the redecorating I am doing this year!

  1382. Never, Ever, have had a new machine!! Currently using a Singer from the late 50’s. And also my Mom’s; who got it when my Dad bought his first combine for harvest. Ooh, the things I could do!

  1383. I am a big fan of Sailrite!! I found them a couple of years ago while searching how to make Roman shades. They have a wonderful tutorial on how to make them and I am very please on how mine turned out. I would love to win one of their sewing machines! I love this fabric P/Kaufmann Feathered Friends Bluebird and would love to make something for my sunroom with it. I just ordered their new catalogs and can’t wait until they are in my mailbox. Thank you for a great giveaway!!

  1384. I wish I could think of something really clever to post, but my mind is not cooperating. But, my Bernina does struggle with my upholstery and pillow projects. I would love to attempt the double welting technique that you seem to have mastered.

  1385. My favorite fabric choices for our sun room are Tranquil Turtles Penninsula #801121 complimented with Ebb & Flow Peninsula #800981. It’s almost the identical fabric in a Sanibel, FL B&B I’ve stayed in. Love it!!

  1388. Wow, I have pressured my poor regular sewing machine into way more than she should have to take! 🙂 I would love one of these machines for home decor projects!

  1391. I visited the site and I love the Tommy Bahama Outdoor Swaying Palms Aloe Fabric. Would make great pillow cushions.

  1392. I ordered their catalog and my favorite fabric is the Covington Maderia Marina. I would love to win this because I do a lot of home upholstering and cannot do any sewing of thick fabrics because my sewing machine cannot handle it.

  1393. Love the greens! I’d have a hard time choosing, but the Geobella Flora and Sausalito Grass Green fabrics caught my eye!

  1394. Marian, your blog and your projects are so inspiring. You make me feel like I can do the things you do so I would love to win this machine and actually do them. My fingers and toes are crossed for luck! My email for when you need to contact me is bkheadley@twc.com

  1395. Wow! So many beautiful fabrics and so hard to choose. I think I’d maybe start with this one: Waverly Sun N Shade Santa Maria Mimosa Fabric. It is absolutely gorgeous!

  1396. I love anything plaid, but really love the Covington Barnegat Plaid Deep Sea Fabric. Want to redo my bedroom and find a coordinating fabric as well.

  1397. I found a whole lot of fabric on the Sailrite website I liked, but my current favorite is:
    Harper Home Vivian Mineral Fabric
    Item #: 106680.

    It looked so happy and summery and had quite a few coordinating possibilities. I have never seen that website. Thanks for sharing.

  1399. WOW…I really enjoy viewing pics of the beautiful transformations you create every day! I am very crafty and am just beginning to make neat home items and re-purpose old items into new creations.
    I’m very excited about this contest!! You are truly an inspiration to me!!!! 🙂

  1400. I’m currently shopping around for an upholstery machine. Winning this one would be FABULOUS and also take the pressure off! Thanks for the opportunity!

I appear to be a “Waverly Woman!” Although I love so many, I’m very fond of the “Waverly Ballard Bouquet Robin’s Egg” fabric pattern for inside my 1700’s Stone Farmhouse…AND…the “Waverly Sun N Shade Rustic Retreat Ebony” Fabric pattern to make seating and pillows, with my new Sailrite Sewing Machine, on the Veranda!!!! <3

  1428. Wow, this looks like a great sewing machine!! This would be a great prize to win. You have done some beautiful work!!

  1431. Oh, I am in love with P/Kaufmann Quiet Refuge Robins Egg Fabric and P/Kaufmann Quiet Refuge Canary Fabric! They’d make beautiful window panels in our living room!!

  1433. Home fabric catalog ordered! While I was there I realized their YouTube video is the one I used to learn how to recover our patio furniture cushions. Small world!

  1435. I have two chairs I would love to reupholster. I would choose P/Kaufmann Beatrice Oatmeal Fabric for one of them.

    1. Winning the Sailrie would be such a wonderful surprise. I can think of so many fabulous items to create with it.

  1445. I’ve signed up for the catalogue and I am totally in love with the P Kaufmann “Beatrice” fabric!#106574
    I so needed this machine this week as I am making pillows and my machine just won’t do zippers( with multiple layers of fabric, including welting.

  1446. So many gorgeous fabrics, so very hard to choose. I really liked the fabric called Finders Keepers French Blue. While I was there I signed up to get their catalog, can’t wait. I would LOVE to win this great Saterite machine. What wonderful give away!!

  1447. This would be soooo great to get a machine that can handle this kind of stuff. My poor regular machine…she would love a break!!!

  1454. It would be a dream come true to win the Sailrite machine! Perfect for all my home projects. I struggle with a machine not suited for my projects. I would be in heaven with the right machine!

  1455. I love your blog and as soon as I saw the SAILRITE ad I thought oh boy, right up my alley and I raced right over to their site. I understand completely about stress on your machine, I’ve been there too, with drapes and bedskirts, outdoor cushions, pillows etc.. pushing my machine till I’m afraid it will burst into flames. HA HA

  1456. went over to Sailrite andsigned up for their home catalog. While I was there, I browsed their fabric. I really liked their linen line, in particular, the linen. one of my favorites was P/Kaufman Blue Bell, #106597. I have a pair of chairs the this fabric would be perfect on

  1457. I’ve always wondered, Marion, how you could produce such perfectly tailored ruffles and slipcovers.Now I know: Sailrite!

  1460. I’ve been yearning to own one of these workhorses ever since I first read about them on your blog! As I sew often for our home, everything from curtains to dust ruffles to pillows, I would use this machine all the time!

  1464. I’ve fallen in love with Waverly Sun N Shade Paddock Shawl Persimmon Fabric! It would be perfect for outdoor curtains for our porch!

  1465. Marian, this is incredible! I am taking an online class to learn to do upholstery and slipcovers for my couch and 2 chairs. I know it’s a large undertaking, but already know enough to make me dangerous.
    It never occured to me that my old sewing maching may not be suitable for the weight of these fabrics so I would be so incredibly exicted to have a new machine for this undertaking. This machine looks very straight forward and no-nonsense type of machine, so I would love to own one. Thanks for the chance at this giveaway.

  1468. My current machine is 39 years old, and I sew for profit! I could certainly use an upgrade!

  1474. It was hard to pick a favorite fabric, but I love Kaufmann-Sariz-Pool-54-Fabric!!

  1501. Love the Sailrite machine! Would be tickled win it. Sailrite has so many really great fabrics, it’s hard to choose a favorite, but I think it would be Covington Heirloom Jane in Vintage Linen.

    I signed up for their new Home Catalog and can’t wait to peruse it.

    Thanks for this great giveaway, Marian!

  1502. Wow!! This is an awesome give away! I have an old carriage seat from a buggy that I plan to reupholster as soon as I finish a current project. This would be a great asset. Thanks for the opportunity.

  1570. Love your site, I am gathering the courage to begin upholstery or a goose neck arm chair that looks like it came from athe local funeral parlor! I want to help it NOT look like that.

  1572. I’d love to have to have a heavy-duty machine like this for sewing my bags, purses, and totes, most of which I make out of heavy upholstery material — it is always a struggle getting through the layers.

  1590. Wow! What a wonderful opportunity!!! Thank you so much!
    There are so many beautiful fabrics to pick from it’s hard to narrow it down. I would go with one in the cream tones (I think the Sailrite website is really busy right now, cause the material swatches are not coming up at the moment) or the Waverly Sun and Shade patterns were really great too!

    I have signed up for the catalog as well.

    Thank you again! 🙂

  1591. I would use the machine for slipcovers for outdoor lounge chairs plus pillows with piping. What a wonderful thing to win!

  1593. Love the fabric web site! Love the Jewelscape watermelon fabric by P. Kaufman. It is warm AND hot!

  1599. So many beautiful fabrics, but I think my favorite (today!) is the P/Kaufman Beatrice Mist.

  1602. I would love to have a machine to use for constructing slipcovers for our dated furniture!

    Love reading your blog Marian!

  1608. I have signed up to receive the catalog. I’m looking forward to receiving it and finding this new source for fabric.

  1614. You have no idea how much I’ve been needing such a machine! I’m to the point where I can go no further on a couple of projects, until I have a good upholstery machine. Then idea of paying $2k is beyond my budget. Hope I win!

  1616. What a wonderful opportunity to win a fantastic prize. I have visited the Sailrite website on several occasions and plan to purchase their great fabrics, but I desperately need a heavy duty machine to create the outdoor cushions, chair slings and other accessories for our patio and pool area. Thank you for the chance to be a winner of a heavy duty sewing machine. I love the Miss Mustard See website, as well.

  1618. I checked out some of the fabrics and I realy like that Covington muse toile in white and blue. I’m redoing our master bedroom and the colors are white and blue and some gray.

  1619. Love he feathered friends collection!!!
    Thank you and the company for the opportunity!!! and love that blue cabinet and the reupholstered chair with it!

    Blessings!!!

  1620. I would love the Williamsburg Asian Arcadia Sapphire Fabric for my living room. I also like your fabric choices I am a sucker for blue and white. I sure could use the Sailrite machine I use a twenty something year old machine…

  1621. Happy Tuesday Marian~ INDEED!

    What a generous gift.

    It was hard to choose a fabric but one stuck out right away~ and it’s P/Kaufmann Beatrice Blue Bell Fabric #106573. It is on my must have list and I would love to make a coverlet or curtains with my new machine : ) I sold my circa 1972 machine about 5 years ago~actually sort of gave it away in my garage sale due to to much use with heavy fabrics also. I have been waiting patiently for the right time to purchase a machine and have been rather stuck on what to buy.

    I look forward to receiving the Salright Home Decor Catalog too! Such an awesome resource for decorating.

    I hope you are enjoying the onset of springtime!
    Cynthia cynthiaj952@aol.com

  1623. Thanks to both you and the company for the chance to win! and love your blue cabinet and chair! the feathered friend collection is my fav!

  1626. What a wonderful giveaway! The Sailrite Sewing Machine would be a real treat. I’m thinking about making new slip over for my sofa but don’t think my 35sh machine can handle it any more.

  1628. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win a Sailrite machine! I’ve never had a machine that would handle the load of upholstery fabric and would find it sooooo helpful!

  1629. This is an AMAZING giveaway–I have a front porch makeover planned and some recovering is a big part of it! Thanks!

  1631. I am signed up for the home catalog. Thanks again for this chance to win a great machine!

  1632. I would LOVE to win this machine as I do a lot of slipcover & upholstery sewing. A heavy duty machine would be such a blessing. Thanks for the tips & review on this product.

  1633. This is a wonderful giveaway! I have overworked my machine many times making slipcovers!

  1634. I would choose the Sunbrella Accord Jade for my glider cushion. Hard choice to make with all the beautiful fabric!

  1637. This is an amazing giveaway! I have a sewing machine too that cannot handle upholstering projects, hence, I have not set foot into that art …yet! It would be amazing to win such a machine as the “Sailright”. Going to check out their site and fabrics now! Thank you for the chance! Janet =D

  1641. Oooh, what a great give-away! I have sewn for years, but now that I’m thinking about doing some upholstery I would love to have this machine.

    The Sailrite fabrics are really gorgeous and what a selection. Two that I especially like are the Covington I Need a Dollar Black Pearl Fabric (#106628) which has black line drawings of seashells on white andP/Kaufman Beatrice Ivory (#106574) which is an ivory and white scroll pattern which looks very rich. I don’t know what I would use them for, but I’m sure I can find something!

    Thanks for offering the sewing machine, Marian!

  1642. P/Kaufmann Adelaide Tigerlily Fabric

    Item #: 106595

    Would sure be nice to make new dining room roman shades(4 total, bay window and one regular double) with to replace the ones I love that I made 15 yrs ago on my moms old regular Montgomery Wards sewing machine,., and washed one once. Oops. Prewashed before making,lined but forgot ageing… Got it back together with new lining and ring tape, but does not fit quite the same….lol

    Debbie

  1645. Good equipment makes all the difference in quality results. I love everything you do Marian, and I would love to work with such a great machine!

  1646. Having been searching for a machine like this. Thank you,
    I like the Williamsburg Portobello Vase Ladybug Fabric. A beautiful choice for a baby girl’s bedroom. Coral and Gray.

  1647. This Sailrite is a wonderful machine. I am using my Singer that I love but it has its limits.
    I ordered both catalogs. Sunbrella Lido Stripe, Williamsburg Asian Toile nice fabric
    Love your Blog

  1649. Oh my gosh it would be amazing to have a machine like that, yes please! Ordered catalog too! Thanks

  1651. I did my comments backwards! I went and signed up for the catalogs) as I can use the heavy duty stuff as well… and then browsed all the fabrics,… I mean all!

    Now I am entering the first way, just by leaving a comment.

    This is my comment thanks for making it possible to enter without being on facebook or having a website that I can link back on, etc.

    Debbie

  1654. OH my goodness~ ever had one of those days 🙂

    This is try #3 on my silly laptop… I will try a shorter method.

    Love pattern P/Kaufmann Beatrice Blue Bell Fabric
    Item #: 106573~ love, love, love!

    And signed up for the Sailrite Home Decor Catalog!

    I miss sewing so terribly and would love to own a new machine. I sold my circa 1972 machine 5 years ago and I miss sewing every single time I see what you create.

    Thanks for giving all of us a chance to be lucky!
    Cheers to you, Cynthia

  1656. Awesome Giveaway! Yes, I am trying to sew cushion covers and my machine doesn’t like all the heavy layers!

  1657. I’d love to make roman shades for my sunroom with Covington SD Clearwater Coral Fabric! Signing up for catalogue now!

  1658. OK, 4th and so not eligible comment, but had to add… I really could have used this when I made my replacement breakfast area vinyl chair seat covers that required sewing vinyl around a curve.

    My moms trusty Monkey(Montgomery) Wards machine sewed great, but does not have quite a long enough stitch to do the top/back of the chair pieces that are fitted… they need it.

    Any way, thanks for being you and teaching us and letting us know about such great things we never realized we needed until we saw them!

    Debbie

  1659. I have ordered the home catalog and I love the “Need a Dollar” sand and “Need a Dollar” storm fabrics and Love love love the “Clearwater Turquoise fabrics. If I won, I would use these fabrics to redo my dining room chairs. They would be magnificent! =D Thanks again, Janet

  1661. #2 I think I found my fabric for a loveseat cover! I bought a gorgeous floral for an occasion chair in earthy tones. Dena Home Dream Weaver Coral Fabric would be a great compliment to the chair fabric which is my inspiration piece for the room.

  1662. I would love to win the upholstery machine. Thanks for the chance to win. I would love to work on the Sunbrella lido stipe fabric!

  1667. What a wonderful idea! I know that there are many of us who would love such a sewing machine. I have sewn on several different regular sewing machines but never one that is really heavy duty. Also one that is not huge and or heavy. I have never heard of these particular brand but I am very interested. I have a list of projects such as upholstering a chair and making draperies and would love a machine that could handle these jobs with ease! I can’t wait to look at the fabrics.

    Betty

  1671. #3 My catalog has been ordered. Once I have it in my hands, I’ll have to order some samples to see the colors in the room.

  1672. Signed up for the Home catalogue.
    Would love to make pillows from P/Kaufmann Outdoor Hip Floral.
    Thanks for the chance to win.

  1673. Hi again, of course I love all of the fabrics you have chosen. But I also fell in love with the Covington Homespun fabrics, especially the colors River Rock and Linen. I think these fabrics would be beautiful and timeless in any home.

  1674. I have been looking high and low for a true red buffalo check and I found it with Sailrite! The Covington Reagan Lobster fabric item#105058 is exactly what I have been looking for to reupholster my living room couch.

  1681. This could be a dream come true to own a real upholstery machine. I so need this. Thanks for the great opportunity.

  1682. I found their site last week when I was reading your blog, I love their fabrics. It would be great to win the sewing machine, I want to order some outdoor fabric to make new covers for my outdoor furniture.

  1685. So many pretty fabrics. Finders Keepers Peacock is lovely. Also liked the Fenton houndstooths and Modern linens.

  1687. Covington SD Pop Rocks Mariner Fabric

    I would love to use this fabric to cover my outdoor chair cushions.

  1688. So many beautiful fabrics…right this minute I’d pick #106255 P/Kaufman Pick Up Line Snow Fabric to make curtains.

  1693. I LOVE you the Tulipano by Kaufman. It is such a pretty toile and it would look great as slippers on my dining chairs! Great with my ticking stripes.

    Ordered the catalogue and can’t wait!

  1700. I’d love to be able to win! I signed up for both of the catalogs but had a hard time picking just one fabric that I love, there were so many! Standouts were PKaufman St Thomas Seaglass and Waverly swept away in Chambray.

  1701. I am so excited about this giveaway! I just dropped one of my machines off for service today. I too have been asking way too much of it. I discovered the Sailrite cite via your blog last week and got the catalog. Inspired by your check fabric I am thinking of ordering the Reagan fabric which looks very similar to yours. Thank you for all your inspiration!

  1702. I am learning how to see and would love a nice machine like this! I browsed their website and there are some really nice fabrics, I really liked Williamsburg Lightfoot Garden Cinnabar Fabric. I ordered a catalog and I’m excited to see more!

  1711. I love your blog and would love to win this machine! I have a friend who has a design business and she could really teach me a thing or two with a Sailrite!

    I chose the fabric P/Kaufmann Trousseau Sable Fabric
    Item #: 105260 to tie in with two milk paint colors that I LOVE, they are BEAUTIFUL together!), Tricycle, and Iron with accents of this fabric either in upholstery or pillows would be wonderful together 🙂 Thanks for the chance at winning such a nice prize and also for your work, it’s so inspiring, love your blog and website!

  1714. My favorite fabric was hard to choose from so many, but right now is R/Kaufmann Snow Leopard
    Breeze.

  1715. Ordered the catalog and can’t wait to receive it.Loved so many of the fabrics, some of which were Waverly 670562 and P. Kaufmann 106217.

  1716. I was sewing Sunbrella fabric that I had bought from Sailbrite today on my 55 year old sewing machine. What a treat it would be to have a heavy duty machine like the prize offer!

  1717. Perfect timing! I just started my first upholstery project and am currently sewing everything by hand so it is taking ages to complete. I immediately would be putting the sewing machine to work!

  1719. Hi MARIAN!
    just letting you know I signed up to receive the new 2015 Home Catalog by Sailrite, they have alot of great stuff and am glad you directed me to them!!!!!
    THANKS!!!!
    Sincerely,
    Joan

  1720. I tried writing a little story of what happened last Sunday two times tonight but it must be too long for the amount of characters allowed or something. In short my mom and I came upon the Sailrite website a week ago while trying our first attempt at making roman shades. We spent days between watching the videos over and over making sure we knew the proper steps. Mom is 72 and still loves to sew. I did the measuring, drilling, and hardware installation. We finally were ready to install on Sunday when I realized I forgot to drill two holes the header board. I detached the fabric that was attached with Velcro and pushed it what I thought was far enough out of the way. I started to drill, and the bit broke, jarring my hand forward and right through the brand new shade. My heart sank and I felt like the worst person in the world. I had to tell mom what a mistake I had just made. I went to tell her and she wasn’t even angry. Her only concern was if we would have enough fabric to try again. I couldn’t believe it. I have not slept well since and feel so badly and she isn’t even angry. She said we’ll try to make the next one even better. What a gem! I am so blessed! Through this experience she taught me more than ONE life lesson.

  1721. Thanks for helping bring such a great give-away chance to all of us. I could use one of those machines about now as I’m planning slipcover projects for my living room. Not sure how I feel about putting my regular sewing machine through that torture (or myself, for that matter).

  1722. I just got a new basic machine after wearing out my 33-year-old workhorse, but the new one is very lightweight and, while it seems like it’s going to be a good machine, it probably isn’t going to handle slipcovers and heavy trims as well as the Sailrite would. Thanks to you and them for a great giveaway! Off now to look at fabrics.

  1723. I think Waverly Sun N Shade Siren Song Silver Cloud Fabric would be beautiful for cushion on the Adirondack chairs in the back yard. I like the earth tones in the pattern

  1724. Dear Marian,
    WOWWW, thanks for such a nice opportunity to win the Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1 Plus, so grateful for the chance!!! REally appreciate it, LOVE ALL YOUR WORK and Milk Paints too! You’re so inspiring, have got to thank you for that also! BIG THANKS!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
    All the best,
    Joan

  1725. Thanks for hosting the give away for this sturdy Sailrite sewing machine. I recently purchased a number of vintage grain sacks and I’m not sure if my regular sewing machine can handle sewing through the weight of this fabric, so it would wonderful to try the Sailrite machine. Also, MMS, Marian, thanks for all your daily inspirational posts.

  1727. Covington Fitzgerald Mist Fabric

    Item #: 106291

    Thinking this would make gorgeous Roman Shades for the five large windows in kitchen eating area.

  1731. How awesome is this giveaway? So excited for the opportunity 🙂 I always have trouble with heavy materials in my machine!!

  1732. I looked at the fabric and would love the Waverly Pineapple Print- A Very Southern Welcome!

  1733. Lots of beautiful fabrics! I only made it halfway through tonight, but want to go back for another look when I have more time. I’m wanting to add a pop of orange to my living room, so the P/Kaufman Beatrice and the Waverly Strands, both in Tigerlily, and the P/K Lifestyles Bubbly in Tangerine caught my eye.

  1734. I really like the Beatrice Mist Fabric! Although I saw several I really liked for various projects… Thank you again for hosting this giveaway!

  1740. My mother and I work as a team; I paint and she sews. Her machine is a great for everyday projects and quilting…but I want her to teach me to reupholster, make curtains and chair slip covers. I am a teacher and will be retiring soon; this machine looks stupendous!

    1. I could really use a machine like that for all my sewing needs-I use alot of old blue jean fabric to make quilts and my benina is just doing it for the weight of the fabric-you would make my year!!!!

  1741. The Ikat and the printed Damask patterns are two of my favorite patterns right now. Sailrite fabric selections which would be lovely for a cheerful beach house decor: Covington Tangier Caribbean Fabric
    #106101, #106102 & #106103
    Plus, a few other textural fabrics, but there are so many to choose from.

  1742. Oh, wow! I didnt even know there was a machine between sewing and industrial that was portable! Love it!

  1744. So MANY beautiful fabrics. The P/Kaufmann Finley in Turquoise is lovely. What a fantastic giveaway! Thank you so much for the opportunity.

  1745. At 70 years old, my parents built a home for the first time–and it is gorgeous! I would love to pick out fabrics to assist my mother in making some new window treatment and reupholstering some antiques. Her present decor includes blues and yellows. I liked so many, but theP/Kaufmann Beatrice Blue Bell Fabric
    Item #: 106573
    would work out easily. I am sure we would have to order many others. So happy for my parents! They worked hard their entire lives.

  1747. OKAY…this machine looks amazing! I am going to paint my heart out this summer so I can purchase one. I just ordered the catalog and can’t wait to browse through it with my mother. Thank you Marion for introducing this to us!

  1748. thanks for this opportunity to win what seems to be a great machine. Very exciting.

  1749. I visited the website and I think the Covington SD Cecita Seaside fabric is dreamy. Thanks again for the chance to win

  1754. I love the P/Kaufmann le Jardin mist. So many beautiful fabrics to choose from!

  1755. Thank you Marion, for your oh-sooo inspiring blog. I look forward to hearing from you every day. As I am slowing to retirement, I have a long to-do list (as you do). Watched one of Sailrite’s videos last week, as I was needing a refresher on box cushions for the patio set (can’t find any I like in the stores). Saw the machine they used, but didn’t realize it was THEIR machine. How cool is that, that you have an opportunity to give one to a follower. Best regards, Sandra

  1756. There are lots of great fabrics. I love all the birds and geometric but this one looks like fun Covington Kandinsky Lagoon 54″ Fabric.

  1757. Email #2: It’s so hard to decide on a favorite fabric, so many beautiful choices. I feel safe sticking to a solid for my cushions & adding pattern accessories later.
    My choice fabric: Sunbrella 18010-0000 Heritage Denim.

  1760. Looking at the catalog, I am always drawn to the linen fabrics – I like the 70Linen/30Cotton blends with the stripes.

  1765. What an AMAZING giveaway and opportunity for such a great machine!! I signed up for a catalog. Thank you!!!

  1766. So many wonderful fabric choices to chose from!! Here are a few of my favorites:

    1. Sunbrella Luxe Indigo 54″ #45690-0000
    2. P/Kaufman Tulipano Aqua 54″ #105842
    3. Covington Musee Blue Toile 54″ #105004

  1767. I really need this machine. A few months ago I was making some sunblocking shades for our boat and I could not through the heavy sail canvas and the trim. I had to take it to a canvas shop because my machine couldn’t handle the thickness. I also love to change out my pillows frequently and make lots of pillow covers. Sometimes it’s tough to do a heavy weight welting and the double cover thickness.

  1768. I ordered my catalog and I CAN’T WAIT for it to get here!! Thank you again for this AMAZING opportunity!! I LOVE you blog and read it everyday!!

  1769. A friend suggested your website as I would like to sew slipcovers for a pair of weathered, but well-loved arm chairs that have moved around the globe for many years with me. So excited to see the amazing projects offered on your site and learn about the Sailrite machine. I’m not a great seamstress, but your projects look so appealing and I’ve learned that perfection is unnecessary to make a house a home. So many jewels…let the creative energy flow!

  1770. I’m in love with Rave Wave Oasis. The colors would be great for pillows with my patio set on the aft deck of our boat.

  1771. I’ve ordered the home catalog and the marine catalog as my old one is out of date.

  1772. What a great looking machine. I would love to win this. I am just starting to delve into upholstery and the Sailrite would really help a lot.

  1773. This machine would help remake a few chairs I have wanted redone looks like a powerful machine to help make old chairs new again….TY

  1774. P- Kaufmann has beautiful fabric designs and colors. My two favorite selections are:

    P-Kaufmann-Jamboree-Lake-55-Fabric
    P-Kaufmann-Sariz-Pool-54-Fabric

    Jamboree-Lake will perfectly complement the classic navy colors in my makeshift office.

    Sariz-Pool is a must have for the ottoman cushions in the family room.

    So many wonderful choices!!

  1775. It’s a hard choice really like too many of the fabrics,,, but would like to have the Bramore Sakura Blossom #104120 on the check list as # 1 choice…

  1776. Thank you for the opportunity to win this little workhorse! Always enjoy your blog.

  1777. I’ve requested the home decor catalog and look forward to choosing fabrics from this company! It is truly a one-stop shopping experience with the convenience of online selection. No traffic to contend with or long lines in store!!

  1780. I would choose first the Covington Sumatra linen fabric in Gunmetal, Platinum or Cabana Blue on my pair of antique chairs.

  1781. Love the machine…just what I need! Ordered the catalog and found the Waverly Pen Pal Parchment that would be a perfect fit for a couple of chairs that have been patiently waiting to get a new lease on life!

  1782. Ordered the catalog. Love the feathered friends fabric and the alliteration of the name. 🙂

  1784. I love the fabrics, so many to choose from. I would like to work with Covington Sumatra Platinum Fabric, for a living room chair and some pillows. Hopefuly

  1785. Thanks Marion for sending this offer. This Sailrite sewing machine looks like a gem! I love your website sooooo much!!!

  1786. Covington Balenciaga Gunmetal Fabric would be my first choice but there are sooo many. Thank You Sailrite for the chance and you Ms Mustard Seed for this giveaway. I would love a machine that could handle jeans and heavy fabric.

  1787. I am following Sailrite also (and saving for one should I not be the lucky person).

  1789. I love, love, love the Snow Leopard Safari fabric. Thanks for the link to this site. So much pretty fabric…

  1790. Signed up for both catalogs. I have enough fabric to last a lifetime, but can’t wait to shop for more.

  1797. I would love to win this machine. I do a lot of home décor sewing and this would make my sewing life so much better!!!!!

  1798. I am in desperate need of a sewing/upholsterer machine. The Sailright machine would be just the ticket. Thanks for offering this fabulous giveaway.

  1799. Awesome opportunity, thanks! My daughter & I could both get some mileage out of this machine.

  1802. I love Sunbrella 45885-0000 Fischer Lagoon 54″ Upholstery Fabric for pillows for my patio we are starting on soon!

  1803. I would love to win this sewing machine! I’ve been wanting to learn how to reupholster some of my furniture and this would help get me started. Thanks for the chance.

    Abby

  1806. Just perused the Sailrite fabric selections. The P/Kaufman outdoor florals were so vibrant and fun.

  1818. As my husband always tells me, there’s nothing like having the proper tool for the job! This machine would be amazing. Good luck everyone!

  1819. What a great give away! This would make the thought of sewing heavy duty fabric less intimidating for me and my old singer!

  1823. Because I am thinking about making new cushions for our 3 season porch I’d pick Tommy Bahama Outdoor Medallion Island Stone Fabric. I love the pattern and I’d go neutral and add pops of color with pillows.

  1826. Please pick me!
    I plan on buying a machine next month, this would be way better than I can afford!

  1827. I need to make new cushions for my outdoor furniture, so a new Sailrite sewing machine would be wonderful! That’s several layers and heavy fabric!

  1828. I love the Harper Home Victoria Mojito Fabric. It is in the running for a chair recover.

  1830. Would love to win the sewing machine. I have two chairs just waiting to be recovered.

  1834. It’s not even possible to choose a favorite fabric from all of those gorgeous designs…but, if I had to choose, I’d choose the Harper Home Monroe Cafe Fabric. SO PRETTY!

  1866. This is a GREAT giveaway! I have used Sailrite products (and tutorials!) in the past. Good stuff!

  1869. WOW.. What an AMAZING offer.. I could really use this for slip overs for my home. Thank you!

  1870. Having trouble with my email. I will hope this message makes it. Super excited about the sewing machine offer. Your website is so encouraging. I sew but I would like to do upholstery.

  1873. Winning this machine would propel me to start some of the upholstery projects I’ve been dying to try!

  1879. Awesome giveaway! I’ve been making curtains for years, trying to coax the material under the sewing foot of a standard machine. This would be incredible!!!

  1880. There are so many fabrics to choose from, but I particularly love the P/K Lifestyles Pucker Up Stripe in Chambray, possibly for a chair, the Harper Home Marcelle in Dune of Sand, maybe for a pillow, and I love the Harper Home Victoria in Mojito.

  1882. I’ve been dreaming of owning one of these for several years, what a great giveaway!!!

  1886. I would love to win the sewing machine. I made a slipcover using your tutorial. It was hard but came out well. However I had trouble with the thickness of the seams. This would help so much!

  1888. In love with their fabric – would love to work with the new machine on Covington – I Need a Dollar in Deep Sea. Wish I knew how to post the pic – it’s beautiful….

  1890. Signed up for both of their catalogs but was unable to indicate that I heard about them from you : (

  1891. I love their products, we have a boat and I have made some pretty fabulous things from their site, and by using their video how to’s. Would love to have the machine.

  1892. I visited the Sailright site and really love their Williamsburg fabric collection. There are so many beautiful ones it’s hard to choose. I signed up for their catalogue.

  1896. I would love to win the sewing machine – and use it to make beautiful pillows with P/Kaufmann Spot On Meadow Fabric. Happy, happy, happy fabric!

  1897. Marian,
    What an exciting contest! I already know that if I when I will only co-own the machine. I would have to share it with my sister. Oh my! Our makeovers would graduate to an entire new level!

    1. Marian, Oh my gosh. I wrote if I when, because as I was typing what I thought was if I win, in my head I thought when I win. Gah!

  1901. As a member of the sailing community for many years I am very familiar with Sailrite quality and reliability. Excited with the opportunity to perhaps own my own!

  1904. Wow, what a cool machine! I’m in the process of moving to a new home and a new art studio, which means I have about a dozen projects that would benefit from this machine! Off to look at the fabric page….

  1905. I CHOSE THE COVINGTON SAMBA CORD PINK FABRIC. I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT
    ACCENT PIECE IN MY GRANDDAUGHTERS BEDROOM.

  1906. I have two sewing machines that I use, but neither is a heavy duty one. I always have trouble
    with bulky fabric. Would love to have a machine that I could use for home decor. Thanks for the
    opportunity.

  1907. I like the Sangria Surge fabric by Sunbrella and can picture my old wing chair covered in it.

  1909. Checked out Sailrite home decor fabric page. Hard to pick but HGTV Home Pretty Please was so pretty. Really liked their blog with helpful advise.

  1910. I have an older cheap model machine. I would love to have a nice machine that would do what I need it to do effortlessy.

  1912. Checked out their website – love some of the fabric. Not really into the more modern pieces, but love anything blue and white!!

  1913. Just realized that this sewing machine can handle marine and outdoor fabrics too–so I could update the deck furniture at my dad’s shore house! Bye bye, 80s faded stripes, hello Covington starfish fabric in Capri blue.

  1914. Ordered both catalogs–will take the marine catalog to show my dad on the next visit. Maybe we can bring his retirement into the new millennium!

  1915. This sounds like an awesome machine! Love your fabrics, lots of patterns to choose from. I would be in heaven with a machine like this.

  1916. Oh, this sewing machine is beautiful! I have been pining after one of my own and would be so thankful to own one like this so I can stop borrowing my sisters!

  1920. I would sew better and more if I had such a good machine as the Sailrite.
    I am entering the contest.

  1923. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Tommy Bahama Crescent Outdoor fabrics in every single color!!! Actually I didn’t hardly see a fabric that I didn’t love! My old basic sewing machine just can’t “cut the mustard” anymore! Pardon the pun!!!

  1926. The P/Kaufmann Beatrice in Midnight is perfect for my beach house guest room – I’m ordering 3 yards!!

  1927. WOW! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Tommy Bahama Crescent Outdoor fabrics in every single color!!! Actually I didn’t hardly see a fabric that I didn’t love! My old basic sewing machine just can’t “cut the mustard” anymore! Pardon the pun!!!

  1928. Your upholstery projects are so fabulous and every post inspires me to sew!! I have my fingers and toes crossed to win the Sailrite machine to take my projects to the next level!!!

  1931. Hope I’m not too late! I have 5 yards of Sailrite fabric that was just delivered yesterday! Not sure if my 1973 Singer can handle it! 🙂

  1932. What a wonderful giveaway! The Sailrite Utrafeed Portable would be a dream come true for me! I make curtains and mend hubby’s pants with my light duty machine, but would also love to be able to create heavy duty upholstery indoors and outdoors (couch slipcovers, deck seating, boat seating, etc.). This machine seems much more affordable than the $1,000+ Jukis out there. I need to save up for a Sailrite even if I don’t win! Thanks!

  1933. I visited the Sailrite website and found the perfect fabric for my outdoor furniture. This is my favorite one…Sunbrella Aria Teak Upholstery Fabric. But there are so many offered, I might have to use 2 or 3 in combination. Great selection!

  1934. Seriously considering the Tommy Bahama Outdoor Medallion Island Riptide for my patio chairs. There are so many great choices both interior and exterior – thanks for sharing the website!!

  1935. What a great give-away! I’d be thrilled to win so I could finally finish all those “too heavy & thick” projects!!

  1936. I just ordered the 2015 Sailrite catalog. I can’t wait to get it – you can never have too much fabric or sewing notions!!

  1937. I have been planning on making curtains for the rooms in our new home in Chicago and I have fallen in love with the Dena Home 900250 Peaceful Perch Blueberry Fabric. The fabric print is so fun and playful and would tie all of the colors of our home together beautifully…not to mention it’s durable, which would be perfect for our no-fuss family. It would be so lovely to win this sewing machine and use a beautiful fabric like this one in our home!

  1939. I would love to win this – I make quits and want to venture into the world of slipcovers!!

  1940. Wow – it was hard to pick a fabric – I love the Waverly Imperial Dress Twill Blue and the Jennifer Adams Bukhara Horizon. Both are beautiful!

  1941. I just signed up for the 2015 Sailrite Home Catalog! Thank you for considering me for this wonderful opportunity. I would be so blessed to win something like this!

  1943. There are so many wonderful choices!! One of my favorites is P/Kaufmann Outdoor Zoie Tangerine Fabric.

  1945. I have been looking through the fabrics. I would choose a houndstooth fabric from the P/Kaufman collection and make a tote bag. This machine can get the job done with leather straps! And I love to upcycle belts.

  1948. I NEED this machine! New curtais, recover10 dinning chairs, 2 occasional chairs to reupholster , and curtains for family room.

  1949. Deck cushions in p Kaufman outdoor zone blue marine #105114, p Kaufman sariz sugarcane dinning chairs, and p Kaufman paisley park lagoon for curtains?

  1952. There are so many fabrics to choose from! I am loving these: the P/Kaufmann Sariz Pool 54″ Fabric, the Waverly 670562 Ballad Bouquet Robins Egg 55″ Fabric, and the P/Kaufmann Finley Turquoise Fabric are some of my favorites

  1953. Wow! This would be an excellent machine to use! My little bargain one also has a hard time keeping up with the thicker fabrics. What an awesome giveaway! Thank you : )

  1956. the Waverly fabric is always my fave. I would go with the Strands in Navy and the Inner Soul Majestic to upholster a set of cane back chairs that have been sitting in my living room for over a year!

  1957. I would love to remake my outdoor swing cushions with this one: P/Kaufmann Outdoor Summer Breeze in the Poolside colorway!

  1959. I signed up to get the home catalog and sent the link to my friends so they could sign up for the boat catalog. They just bought a fixer-upper yacht!

  1961. I love sailrite! Their youtube tutorials are the best! Love my little machine, but would be so excited to try one of these for larger projects!!!

  1962. I would love to win this sewing machine! I have forced my machine to do so many things that it was not designed for, I can’t even count!

  1965. Amazing prize to offer 🙂 I have a right now that I’ve been planning on reupholstering for months now but didn’t have the right know-how or equipment to do it. A Sailrite would be a good start to accomplish my project.

  1972. I really love the P. Kaufmann “Beatrice” fabric on the Sailrite website. Every color is beautiful, as are their names, like Tiger Lily, Blue Bell, Hollyhock….hmmmm…maybe in a garden inspired room…

  1973. I would love to make outdoor cushion covers with Sunbrella 4612-0000 Aruba 46″ Marine Grade Fabric!!

  1975. Signed up for both catalogs…who knows what you might be able to do with canvas?!

  1976. What a generous offer!! I have already signed up for both catalogs.
    I would love to have this machine – my little old singer just can’t handle thicker layers of fabric.
    I’m inspired by your blog to try re-covering a chair. There are so many great fabrics but maybe in Waverly Strands Charcoal, or P/Kaufmann Beatrice Midnite or even something fun like Inner Soul Majestic? And we have outside chairs that need new cushions, for that I really like the Fischer Lagoon.

  1978. This is an amazing giveaway! Thanks for sharing with us. I love that they have so many fabric choices.

  1980. I love so many of the fabric choices. Here are three of my favorites:
    P/Kaufmann Beatrice Midnight Fabric #106578
    P/Kaufmann Blue Bell Fabric #106573
    Covington Day Tripper Periwinkle Fabric #106619

  1981. My favorite fabric of theirs is the P/Kaufmann Hope Chest Pacific Fabric. It’s gorgeous and has a fabulous pattern.

  1982. Pretty pretty Kaufmann Adelaide Oasis Fabric! Probably too bright for my house, but would be so cute in a little girl’s room.

  1987. All the projects I could make with this lovely machine would be amazing. I love all their fabric options and hardware too. Many neat things to make from all of this.

  1989. Such wonderful fabric choices! My favorite so far is the Covington Tangier Seaside Fabric. I’m in love with the damask pattern.

  1992. How exciting! I would love to win this Sailrite machine! I had just made the decision that I need a Sailrite machine for personal and business. My sewing clients want me to sew more outdoor projects, including boat projects, with Sailrite fabrics, I also have a lot of personal projects to accomplish that truly need to be accomplished with a Sailrite machine. This would be a game changer for me!

  1993. Wow, thanks for the giveaway, Marian! I have noticed the sidebar for Sailrite, guess I will head on over!

  1995. I have ordered the Sailrite catalogs! I am getting ready to order some products!

  1996. The following order numbers are some of my favorite home decor fabrics from the Sailrite website:
    106604, 106588, 106583, 106524

  1997. I would love to win this machine and be able to expand what I am currently able to do!

  1998. I would love this machine! My poor old Singer is struggling through my upholstery projects! Thanks!

  2000. Hi,

    I have been planning on making slipcovers using your tutorials as my guidance. I have been procrastinating because I am not sure my sewing machine is up to challenge. I would love to have a machine that is made for upholstery jobs. My mom used to do her own reuphostery and as a child I guess I thought every mom did that kind of thing. I always thought she was special but now I know she was ahead of her time, she certainly didn’t have a special machine to sew with.

    Thanks,
    Cindy

  2002. P Kauffman always has nice designs, as does Waverly. I like the Jane Adams, too, which is a new line to me. If I had the time to browse all the 2,000+ items, I might pick something different, (a Sunbrella or other outdoor for the patio pillows), but I really like: P Kaufmann Adelaide Tigerlilly for Patio pillows; the same fabric in Blue Belle for bedroom pillow shams; P Kaufmann Midnight (the scroll pattern, forgot the name!) for a bedspread, and one of the plainer Sunbrella or Waverly fabrics for a sofa slipcover. That would keep me busy for awhile!

  2006. Just ordered Sailrite’s 2015 Home Fashions Catalog, excited! They didn’t have an option to type in anything other than their default selections in answer to “How Did You Hear About Us?”, so I couldn’t give credit to you, Miss Mustard Seed!

  2007. Your cute ottoman topper has inspired me to give it a try…especially since my dogs consider the ottoman their throne for outdoor viewing. I think this will be a fun way to change my great room for the seasons…just like the pillow covers that I rotate through. I’d love a heavier duty, yet portable sewing machine for such projects!

  2008. I have been wanting to try to reupholster my favorite chair but I don’t have the right sewing machine. This machine would be awesome to win!

  2009. OOOO, yes please! I’ve also overloaded my generic machine… would love to try one of these!

  2011. How wonderful it would be to make slipcovers for our living room furniture to complete the look I envision for our home. Oh happy day!

  2012. I inherited a little 30 year old Elna that I drug from South Africa when we immigrated to the US. I love my little Elna and winning this Sailrite machine will save its life, since I have been jamming projects trough it that ( lets just say) it wasn’t made for! Thank you for the opportunity Miss Mustard Seed!

  2013. I like the P Kaufman Watercolors Mist fabric 105080. This would look awesome on a chair painted with a MMS gray….

  2014. Loving the covingtob black/white ticking for a drapery project. The price is great, too!

  2016. I love the Waverly Lace It Up Scarlet Fabric, the Tony Bahama outdoor medallion, and I have been looking for some material the color of the Covington Braxton Copper Fabric

  2020. This sewing machine would be the final push to actually start some of the projects I have been dreaming about!

  2021. I would love to win this machine. I started sewing as a teenager and made most of my clothes, made pillows from scaps, etc. When I became a mom, I smocked all of my girl’s dresses, costumes, and PJs on a second hand and very loved Janome machine. I also made quilts, dust ruffles, shams and much more. Then after a lot of life changing events 15 years passed without me having the time or energy to sew again. Now, I have gotten back into sewing since my daughter has given me her little machine. I just completed 4 sets of lined curtains for my kitchen/dining and have sooooo many more projects I can’t wait to complete. I would love love love to have this machine.

  2022. I’m still using my Athena 2000 – it’s 40 years old and still works but I’ve also been doing a bit of upholstery and the poor thing strains a bit trying to get through all those layers – a new machine to use for that would be great – then the poor old thing could just be used for light duty sewing.

  2023. I browse the Home Decor Fabric page and I love P. Kaufmann’s Adelaide Mist print !!!

  2026. I’m liking the Orient Express Collection and the Flor Feliz Carnival from the Morning in Rio Collection.

  2027. I love Covington SD Cecita Island Green Fabric. It would lovely on my chairs on my sun porch.

  2029. I love so many of their fabrics, but especially the P. Kaufmann Adelaide Oasis Fabric. Just gorgeous.

  2030. When I signed up for the catalog it asked how I had heard about them and I check “friend”. That is how I think of your blog. Thanks again.

  2032. Sailrite has gorgeous fabric! A happy medium for my husband & I would possibly be covington Allegheny mist, p/k lifestyles pucker up stripe marine or p/Kaufmann nuri seaspray. Thank you sailrite and Marion for this opportunity!

  2034. WOW what a great giveaway. Thank you for introducing me to this site. I’ve been working as a seamstress since I was very young, having sat at my grandma’s side for most of my training. I’ve done everything from gowns and formals, to nurseries and home decor and now to upholstery and slipcovers. I LOVE IT!

    This machine would be a wonderful addition to my team of machines that allow me to customize every job I do for my clients. Thanks again for the intro to the company.

  2037. I love the quietness of fabrics like the 404022 – P/K Lifestyles Pucker Up Stripe Sand Fabric, subtle colors and calming neutrals. They have a really nice product offering, I’ve signed up for their blog and newsletter and will be checking into wholesale offerings as well.

  2039. I just ordered both catalogs as well as signed up for their blog and newsletters. Going to be checking on wholesale offerings as well. Nice offerings of educational information, really nice site. Thank you again for sharing one of your tools with us.

  2040. I have 2 sad little slipper chairs that have drop cloths pinned onto them… I would slipcover them in Harper Home Vivian Thistle Fabric#106546S or P/Kaufmann Gentle Gesture Spa Fabric#106584S — can’t decide!

  2044. My wife would be so excited if I win this! And I signed up for the catalog.

    God bless!

  2048. I’ve been looking at these and would love to be able to win this machine it’s the perfect workhorse for medium to heavy fabrics.

    …..Sarah

  2051. I’m a sucker for soft colors and the P/Kaufmann Millie Berry would look great on some chairs I have waiting to be redone!

  2053. the the sewing machine looks awesome…making a canopy for the 1959 airstream in my future?!? thanks for this great give away!

  2055. a home catalog…that is soooo exciting as i have 6 chairs that i need to refinish for the back porch. thanks so much for this fabulous giveaway!

  2057. The P/Kaufmann Outdoor My Place Grenadine 54″ Fabric might look great on my patio…

  2058. If I got this machine everyone I know would get throw pillows (with piping) as presents: graduates, Mother’s Day, my best friend’s new bedroom, if I get a new sofa…

  2059. I’ve been interested in the Sailrite for sometime now. Would be a great help in making slipcovers.
    Love Braemore’s Henrietta Pewter.

  2060. How awesome would this be? A heavy duty machine would come in so handy when making things for DIL’s classroom and heavy ruffles on slipcovers. Thanks so much!

  2064. sewing studio staple! I would enjoy this sewing machine to make my own slipcovers! What a fun giveaway……thank you.

  2068. I would like to use the P/Kaufmann Beatrice Oatmeal Fabric on a home project I have in mind.

  2071. I requested their catalog and am looking forward to reviewing it….200 pages! Like a kid looking through a Christmas catalog!

  2072. Oh how I would have loved to have this machine when I made the awning for our sailboat with my Bernina! I did it though:)

  2076. Thanks so much Marion for giving us the opportunity to win such an amazing sewing machine. I can’t wait to see the catalog. I too have used an inexpensive sewing machine to make slipcovers throughout my home and boy is it ever so frustrating when you don’t have the right tool for the job. Would be so grateful to have a machine that is designed for heavy duty sewing!!

  2077. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! How I would love an honest to goodness machine meant for uholstering…
    Fingers crossed in MY!

  2078. I would love to try the P/Kaufman Shubbly Linen! The drop clothes I am using are nice, but I know the linen would look great?

  2079. I discovered Sailrite last fall when making roman shades; I absolutely love their products and helpful tutorial. I am already receiving their catalog, so hopefully it won’t keep me from winning the sewing machine! Also, Marian, love your blog and products!!!!!

  2081. My oh my how I covet this machine!! I have mad projects in the garage just waiting for a true upholstery machine to get the job done. I’m certain I am no more deserving than any other faithful reader, but I sure hope it’s me!!

  2082. I have used the Roman Shade and the Fabric Headboard tutorials in the last year. They were so helpful! I am ready to move on to a slipcover, that machine would be an inspiration!

  2083. What a great selection of beautiful fabrics. Love…

    Williamsburg Portobello Vase Laurel Fabric

  2084. So I am in love with three fabrics…..the Ultraleather in “nile” would be ultra fab on my antique children’s rocking chair. I also favor the Covington Plume and Vanessa Mojito fabrics. Fabric giveaway, Sailrite??

  2086. Looking forward to catalogue inspiration! Thanks for the opportunity to win this great machine!

  2088. Marion just signed up for the catalog. You might want to let them know that in the box at the end of the sign-up where it says “how did you hear about Sailrite”; Miss Mustard Seed is not listed. That’s how I learned about them. Before your blog I had never heard about them. And it doesn’t allow you to type it in either. Funny, thought when I think about it I have learned about a whole bunch of things through your blog. So thanks for that.

  2093. I hAve Downloaded the catalogue. It is extensive and many offerings that I have not seen available from other online fabric retailers. Oolala!

  2096. Great giveaway! I would love to use one of these. It would definitely make my life easier!

  2100. I love the P/Kaufmann Adelaide Platinum Fabric. So many great ones to choose from though so it is hard to pick!

  2101. Love the Kaufman 103957 & Covington 106504. These fabrics could be used in any room in my home!

  2106. I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical of the contrasting fabric on the chairs-since you posted your first one ages ago-but you’ve really made me grow to like them!

  2108. I’ve got a wing-back chair in mind for refurbishing maybe the St. Thomas Caribbean Blue would fit the bill.

  2110. I could definitely get a few fun projects done with the sewing machine! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!

  2111. I really like the faded look and colors of the P/Kaufmann Sariz Pearl 54″ Fabric. I think it would look beautiful on a chair or headboard!

  2112. Oh my I have been wanting and saving for one of these machine for about 6 mts now…..I have done some serious research on what machine to get and decided on this machine months ago . So excited you are doing this give away

  2116. Didn’t know this type of machine existed! Have definitely tried my bernina in many ways to get through the slipcover material – made several of them and have plans to make more. How nice NOT to hear the sound of breaking needles. 🙂 Thx for the giveaway!

  2117. Love your site and this giveaway! I’ve requested a catalog. Love the fabric:

    P/Kaufmann Beatrice Tigerlily Fabric

    thank you

    Micki

  2119. I love the slubby linen in ocean! I love the color and linen is my favorite fabric!!

  2121. Oh to many fabrics to choose but I do love the P/ KauFmann. Very excited about this wonderful giveway………its a great thing that Sailrite and you are doing.

  2124. This contest is a perfect fit for my nextDIY project. I am dying to created a french mattrss for a WW one era cot I recently purchased. It is almost identical the one my grandfather used for summer naps on the sleeping porch. It is going to be almost impossible to make witbout a heavy duty machine.. I would definitely chooses theCovington woven ticking fabric in navy . I left my email address for the home catalog. Thank you for the awesome giveaway. Jean

  2125. Oh dear, how I would love a new machine. I still use the Singer that my grandmother bought me 50 years ago!!! It has seen its sewing days! I’ve created many, many items from clothing, to draperies, bedspreads and crafts. What a wonderful generous giveaway! Thank you Marian and Sailrite.

  2128. What a wonderful collection of beautiful fabrics!
    One that really stands out for me is P/Kaufmann Petal Pusher Ginger 54″ Fabric, #105848.

  2131. Good selection of fabrics. I too ordered their catalog. It’s nice to have a source for ordering fabric without having to drive somewhere!

  2134. Thank you for inspiring my inner DIY projects–enjoy how you transform beautiful pieces. Keep inspiring us.

  2135. Oops, almost forgot to mention two of my favorite fabrics, Covington “I Need a Dollar Storm,” #106627. I really like that it also gives suggestions for coordinating fabrics. My personal favorite was Waverly “Splash of Color, Mineral” #653430.

  2136. I actually remember when you purchased your machine. I had just purchased me a sewing and embroidery computerized machine. A week after that I was on the computer and was introduced to the Sailrite machine and Home Decor Fabric and stayed on and watched all of their videos. The very next day I got an email from your site showing that you had purchased one. All I could say was WOW. I want one of theose so bad. I have several pieces of furniture that I need to reupholster. All of their fabric is awesome, it’s hard to select.

  2137. I would love to win the Sailrite Sewing Machine. I have been sewing all kinds of fabrics for years and the thicker ones are very difficult with my basic Singer Machine. (It has been a real trooper though). The website does have many beautiful fabrics. I thought the Suttline Penrose Burnout Blue/White Fabric and the Williamsburg Portobello Vase Laurel Fabric were very nice.

  2138. Thank you Miss Mustard Seed for all your inspiration, I ordered the catalog from Sailrite

  2144. I would love to be able to win this sewing machine for my wife. She loves crafting around the house and has been eyeing different machines for a while, so it would be a blessing being able to surprise her with this!

  2146. I think my wife would absolutely love to use the Waverly Moonlit Medallion Celestial Fabric for our home as curtains to use with the Sailrite sewing machine.

  2147. I have a real weakness for beautiful fabrics (and french chairs- lol), I could look for hours when I am in a fabric store! Thank you Marian for all your wonderful and creative DIY projects. I really appreciate the upholstery tutorials and have begun some projects myself. Oh, how I would love a new Sailrite Sewing Machine. I have an old Kenmore that has served me well with all my home decor sewing from curtains, clothes, pillows, etc. I signed up for the catalog and love linen ( plus anything blue and white). Sewing and painting have become a renewed love of mine thanks to all the inspiring Miss Mustard Seed post.

  2148. Just signed up for the home catalog! Please pick me! I would love to be able to surprise my wife with this for our one year anniversary!!

  2149. What an awesome giveaway! Would love to make this addition to my sewing room, and I have some projects that I could get started on right away. One of my favorite fabrics is the HGTV Home Garden Odyssey Fog. I have ordered the catalog as well, again, what a wonderful giveaway!

  2216. Broke a needle on my regular sewing machine yesterday trying to apply cording to a decorator pillow I was making for my daughter, would love to have this. That way I could quit expecting my regular sewing machine to perform tasks it wasn’t intended for.

  2221. I’ve had my eye on a Sailrite machine for a long time. I’ve bought fabric from them and it was always a good experience

  2223. Thank you for hosting this give away. I have been considering buying a heavy duty sewing machine that can handle heavier fabrics for curtains, slip covers, and hemming jeans.

    The Waverly Garden Glitz fabric would be perfect for a valance in the guest bedroom.

    Catalog is ordered!

  2225. WOW, you’re story hits very close to home!! lol My first big upholstery refub (a must have stuffed rocker which is a must have in every home that an infant will be visiting) I had to abandon because my machine is not up to snuff! And, like you, I am not disliking my machine since it too as served me well; however, I found this was more than I or it could handle!

    I love your site! I love to see old pieces come to life! I love their character, the craftsmanship, and what they bring into our homes, the soft, gentle whispers of the past, of history!

    Good job my friend and THANKS SO MUCH for this SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY!

    Carry on and God Bless!

    P.S. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the elephant tapestry below under the ‘MARKETPLACE RECOMMENDATIONS” ;p)

  2227. I loved all the fabric options for awnings. I need to make one and will have to narrow down my choice later. So glad to find out about Sailrite.
    Thanks,

  2228. Sailrite Fabrics are so awesome! Love the Feathered Friends Cardinal fabric and it would be lovely mixed with the Adelaide Oasis (which, BTW reminded me of my new granddaughter “Adalynn” who is waiting on her stuffed rocker! ;p)!

    Again, good job, love the work, the finds, and the comments……….so much fun! If only I could retire and do what I LOVE!!!!

  2229. I would be so excited to win this fabulous sewing machine! Thanks for the opportunity.

  2230. My fabric pick would be Covington Samba Blossom Fabric
    #106632 to make nursery pillows.

  2231. OK, one last post for the day…………just submitted online request for catalog but was disappointed that the drop down list for “How did you hear about us?” did not include “MissMustardSeed website” or have a blank option field so we could fill it in with this information!!!

    Well, just thinking……………

    Thanks again!

  2233. Just requested my copy of the 2015 Home Catatlog. I can’t wait to receive it and look at the many choices of beautiful fabric.

  2238. Love all your tutorials and helpful hints. Love your style. Keep it up. I do sew and once killed my machine by making a teddy bear from an old fur coat! Would LOVE a professional sewing machine. Wonderful offer!! Did sign up for the2015 Sailrite Home Catalog – Love the Paisley Park Lagoon and Paisley Pop Lake, so many to pick from! Guess I’m in a Paisley mood! xoxo

  2239. Um, yes please. I am excited just thinking about the possibility of winning this machine! Awesome opportunity.

  2240. Heck yea I’d love this machine! The one I use now is getting very tired and can’t do the thickness that I am trying to make it do. Hope you pick me

  2241. Love to have this machine! My granddaughter and I love repurposing and working with fabric!

  2243. Loving several of the Covington fabrics-Barnegat Plaid, Heirloom Jane, Sumatra and Samba. What a great website-I will be spending some time there!

  2245. I buy and sell and paint and sew too for my business. A upholstery sewing machine would be so wonderful. Hoping….will order the catalog too.

  2246. Love this giveaway. I have a brother project runway that I love for garments but I also need something heavier for bigger projects. Thanks for the chance to win!

  2249. Of course I want to win a Sailrite machine but in a way I am already a winner. I finally found the wide grey and white stripe fabric for my guest room curtains. I love (and will order) the Covington

  2258. Marian, you are the queen of giveaways! How exciting it would be to have one of these beauties for projects! THanks for the opportunity to win!

  2261. I have a project for a lake house and one of the rooms & I’ll be reupholstering the chair and the Covington Riverdale Peacock Fabric will coordinate with the room.

  2264. I would love to use the Covington Heirloom Jane Ebony/Ivory Fabric with my new machine!!!

  2267. I like Kaufmann’s Le Jardin Chocolate fabric. It reminds me of the photo edits that I can get from one of my my favorite apps.

  2270. I just signed up for SailRite’s home catalog! If you check whether or not I did, I used the same name but a different email address! I hope that you do have to check because it will mean that I’VE WON THE MACHINE!!! 😉

  2273. I’m currently in the market for a new machine – have been researching for weeks…would LOVE to own this beautiful machine!

  2274. What an amazing giveaway! I currently have my mom’s Sear’s machine; she used it to make my wedding dress 31 years ago (It’s much older, it’s the only machine I remember). I’d love to have one that could handle some tougher projects, and this sounds like that machine!

  2281. I have a French styled sofa and chair to recover. What a great time to win a machine to handle the job.

  2283. I have gone to website and like the Kaufmann, Tommy Bohama, Waverly… too many to list.

  2285. I have ordered the Sailrite Home catalog as well as signed up for notifications of products and ideas for the home. Thank you for the opportunity to win this great machine.

  2286. Signed up. Had discovered the site not too long ago, but before they had the new catalogs. Feeling inspired!

  2287. I have an older sewing machine that I’ve used to sew many projects, but it sadly needs to be replaced. To win a new machine would be amazing. (candicemclean@mac.com)

  2289. Thanks for sharing the info and the giveaway. I’ve never heard of Sailrite until now. I requested their new 2015 Home Catalog and also downloaded the pdf version. Love the seat covering tutorial.

  2291. I would SO LOVE to have this Sailrite machine! It would be wondeful to use for my needs, and to help with work on my Church’s Christmas Bazaar ~ weekly!

  2292. WOW, they have a fabulous selection! Vinyl, Canvas, Velvet, so many choices! My fav is Waverly Moonlit Medallion Passion!

  2293. I’ve ordered the Sailright Home Catalogue … unfortunately we are still in a drought here in TX, even though having a lot of rain lately, so not using the boat too much lately … !!!

  2294. WOW! What a great selection of fabric. Vinyl, canvas, velvet, so many choices! My fav is Waverly Moonlit Medallion Passion!

  2296. p.s. Just one more important thing, though you didn’t ask!
    I know we could use all that fantastic help from Sailrite at the Church Christmas Bazaar Workshop when using my new machine: making heavy Stockings, Santa Bags, sewing Burlap Gift Bags, stitching Canvas Flag Banners, Advent Garlands ~ the list goes on and on! We still have lots of work between now and November! it’s a big event!!!

  2297. I would love to receive this machine, I make interior pillows and just started to do upholstery, and bags with heavy canvas.

  2301. I have been lusting after one of their sewing machines for at least a year now! I make dog leashes and collars for local humane societies and it killed my Janome machine 🙁

  2302. I have wanted one of these since you first blogged about it. Put my name in the hat!

  2303. So many great fabric choices! I really love the Harper Home Vanessa Mojito Fabric.

  2312. I would LOVE to win one of these machines. When I first started sewing I bought a Jenome mini sewing machine and then graduated to a regular Singer sewing machine which has served me well, but I would love to upgrade to one of these babies for sure!

  2314. Just signed up to receive the Sailrite catalog. Now, if I only had one of those machines, I’d order lots of fabric to sew with it!!

  2315. A few fabrics from the Sailrite home decor fabric page that caught my eye are Harper Home Tribal Onyx Fabric, Covington Gatsby Slate Fabric, P/Kaufmann Early Bird Stripe Black Bird Fabric, Harper Home Marcelle Agean Fabric, and Waverly Strands Tuxedo Fabric. Most of them are black!

  2318. I’d like the Sunbrella 45099-0003 Cabaret Blue Haze 54″ Upholstery Fabric for my girls’ room. Curtains maybe?

  2319. I was not aware of this brand of sewing machine, but I’d sure like to win one so that I could sew upholstery fabric without breaking so many needles. What a variety of fabrics! I love your blog posts Marian and all the ideas you are willing to share. Thanks for offering this machine to your readers.

  2322. I LOVE this machine!!! I have been following your blog and I love all the different fabrics you use. I love seeing what you do with the furniture. I really enjoy seeing what you are going to be doing next. I am just getting started in redoing my own furniture and you have really inspired me! Thank you for posting about the fabric warehouse website. That has been a lot of fun to look it! Thank you !!

  2323. I started recently in redoing furniture and you have really inspired me! I LOVE this machine! Thank you for posting about the discount fabric warehouse website. It has been a ton of fun going thru the website. It is so much fun seeing what you are going to do next!!

  2326. I was scrolling thru all the courageous fabric on the sailrite website and there are so many to choose from! I really like the Jennifer Adams Home Croydon Linen fabric

  2329. I just browsed a lot of the fabric website and spotted some fabric for some window treatments I need to make for a few bedrooms. I like the Covington Heirloom Jane- especially the Rose Red. I also like the Velvet Diamond in Charcoal and last but not least, I like theWaverly Close Up in Ebony.

  2331. Would love to win the Sailrite sewing machine. Loved their fabric and signed up for their catalog. Loved the Williansburg Asian Arcadia Fabric Sepia.

    Thank you for you wonderful blog.

  2332. Would love to have the opportunity to own a sewing machine like this; I have 2 wing chairs that would look great with some new slipcovers, thanks
    Ordering the catalog too! Thanks for this offer

  2335. Hi Marian! I am a fairly recent subscriber to your blog and am inspired by your talent and accomplishments. I want to thank you so much for offering this generous giveaway. I have a small window treatment business that I would like to grow, and the Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1 Plus would be a fantastic tool to acquire, mainly because of its portability and endurance. I visited the Sailrite site and was amazed at the fresh and beautiful fabrics. I have been a textile lover for decades, and the Williamsburg Lightfoot Garden Sepia and Williamsburg Portobello Vase Spa would be beautiful for the drapes in my family room which I am in the process of redecorating finally, since the jobs for my own home seem to always fall last on the list 🙂 I also signed up to receive the mail catalog for the home and an email subscription as well. Thank you for sharing all that Sailrite has to offer! Have a great weekend!

  2337. Would love to upgrade from my tried-and-true Singer. My needles wouldn’t be screaming at me with each stitch!

  2339. I would love to have this machine! Not only does it look like a well built machine but it looks so Vintage! I hope I win!!!

  2340. Would love to have this type of machine to sew the “tough” stuff!
    Just signed up for the catalog.
    Love the Tommy-Bahama-Outdoor-Cayo-Vista-Riptide-Fabric. Would make great cushions for the patio furniture at the lake!

  2344. There are so many fabrics that are beautiful. It was hard to pick one, but I like the Covington Tangier Carribean.

  2345. Love this blog. You are so talented and inspirational. I can’t wait to start on some new projects.

  2346. Oh the things i could make! Would love to win this machine. Thanks for the giveaway

  2354. It would be so nice to be able to assemble a project on a spectacular machine instead of my “make-do”! Then I would pass my current machine to my little daughter and we could sew together, just like Nana and I used to.

  2355. Requested both catalogs, inspiration may strike in the heavy duty sail book! Was disappointed they didn’t have you as a reference option, so chose “friend”….hope you don’t mind!

  2356. My fabric choice…P Kaufman Adelaide Mist, a pretty linen blend with lovely greens and blues.

  2358. Have a chair that’s waiting to be done in Waverly Sun N Shade Shoji Tiger Lily Fabric.

  2359. I had been unaware of the brand of sewing machine, however I would certain prefer to succeed 1 to ensure that I can sew upholstery fabric without having busting a lot of needles. Such a number of fabrics! I really like your site articles and the actual suggestions you might be prepared to discuss. Very good providing this particular machine for your visitors.

  2360. I ordered the catalog before the deadline, but I forgot to mention that here. Thanks.

  2361. Who wouldn’t want to win this fabulous Sewing Machine. I wish you all good luck but I wish myself more, tee hee. now back to looking for tips on Milk paint color mixing

  2362. Love this fabric…Waverly Sun N Shade Fishbowl Aquamarine Fabric

    Item #: 673951

    Would love to sew this up into cushions with the Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1 Plus!

  2363. I have an old (circa 1974 Viking which just isn’t able to get through several layers of fabric…it’s a struggle to tease into doing so. And…this is just the machine I’ve been needing….smaller sized industrial machine…and it’s portable! Hope I’m the lucky one too.

  2365. wouldn’t it be nice to upgrade my “heavy duty” singer for a real industrial yet still portable one!
    What a great collaboration w Sailrite ! Love the neutral P/Kaufmann Beatrice Oatmeal Fabric
    #106576! Thanks for the resource and for the giveaway !

  2366. I really want one of these machines. I make hand bags and these machines are great for sewing vinyl and leather too!

  2369. Your sailrite sewing machine is a real pro and do some amazing job for the user. Your designs and work are very impressive, thank you for a great suggestion,

  2370. Dear Marian,
    Your suggestion is really great. and of course the designs you provided was so beautiful. thanks for sharing this. this is a great idea after all

  2373. Hi, my name is Jim, and have two daughters… Trisha and Erica
    Well, there is Maria, my loving wife.
    So to make things short we’re just an average family and all have to improvise to be able to manage our income .
    a few years back I was able to acquire a singer sewing machine at a garage sale for 5 bucks since then I was able to learn how to sew and help my growing daughters and wife do some sewing altering their clothes, sewing tore up pillowcases, most having difficulty sewing their denim jeans as they grew up and sometimes I had to sew it by hand to fix it because none of this so call heavy sewing machine can do a thick layer of denim.
    I saw your an online regarding SAILRITE SEWING MACHINE and it was a dream to have one but the price we really cannot afford. we don’t earn much but as we go on with our lives I was able to cope up doing a handyman job just to save a little so I can afford to buy one.
    a sewing machine like SAILRITE will help me do side jobs perfectly sewing car seats, boat canopy, denim jeans, sofa, and so on.
    I believe that the SAILRITE sewing machine is the only one that can accomplish everything perfectly when it comes to sewing
    as I witness in your online DEMO.

I’m Marian, a painter, writer, and lover of all things creative. From art and antiques to home projects and everyday life, I share my journey in hopes of inspiring you to embrace your own creativity and make beauty in the spaces you live.
