Edge Sewing with Adler 30-70 patcher

[unc101]

Is there any way to modify an Adler 30-70 shoe patcher so it can edge stitch at 1/8" or better at 3/32". Do they make a walking foot with built in edge guide or some sort of an seperate edge guide I can buy and modify? Maybe there is a company which makes custom feet or guides.

Cheers

UNC101,

I rebuild shoe patchers so let me know what you are sewing and maybe we can come up with something for you.

I have a few ideas.

I ams still waiting for you to email me. I think I have a way to put a roller guide on your machine so you can sew close to the edge,

How much it will cost me to modify it. I had a company which was willing to make me a custom one based on my design recommendations, but they want $300+ US for it.

Here is the diagram of the guide we came up with:

please post all the details of your modification.

Forgot to mention, I'm strictly working with high end skates like Vapor 40 and One95 so stitch gin it on the top edge is very tricky. But I also need to stitch straight material, sometimes felt for the tongues, so basically think of it as if I had one machine, but needed to use it for all aspect of a hockey skate manufacturing and sewing.

Cheers
