Kustom Report post Posted April 11, 2011 I got a new to me Luberto Classic. I got the book with it, but not the DVD. The stitch is very pretty except when I try to use the stirrup plate. It leaves deep marks on the leather. I take it, it has something to do with the plate taking up room and the jump foot staying the same pressure. How do I adjust the pressure on the jump foot? Thanks in advance. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtclod Report post Posted April 11, 2011 Just a guess on my part because i don't know anything about your machine, would be loosen the nut on the curved spring looking piece in the last picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think so, The book tells how to do it, but I don't have it here at the house. Try sewing on it dry before you tear into it. Those classics like dry leather and I have never had a problem with mine marking leather badly even with the stirrup plate. Great Machine. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've searched the book over and over, but don't see anything about adjusting the pressure on the jump foot. I was thinking about taking the spring on the top off and putting a couple washer between it and the frame to raise it up. What do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would probably do it, Been hearing Tony Luberto has been hard to find, which I am sure he could and would let you know for sure. Nice fellow. I will check my manual at work today. Will let you know if I find anything this evening. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Thank´s for your offer Ken, but I have the Classic video. I bought me an Adler 205-374 with a needle positioning device. It is not by far the same beauty as your glossy Classic, so my wife does not let me keep in the living room ! :-) / Knut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Ken, I was not aware that there was a book on the classic. I have one of the original #9's and if I'm am correct, the classic is an improved version of it. Where could I get my hands on the book? I started another post before I saw this one and said that my VCR ate my instructional video. My machine is out of time and I cannot get adjusted correctly. Any help would be appreciated.
