Perfect, thank you very much:-)

Yes I think so too, thanks for the encouragement

Thanks for that simple comment, I'll do that. I'm wondering if you would know what's the smallest thread and needles I could use on this machine, when not sewing leather? Thank you

Oh you moved it, I don't have too, sorry sometimes I have trouble with understanding English. Merci

I don't understand what you want me to do, and where is that?

Hey everyone, I’m new here and super excited to join this community! Truth be told, I’ve never sewn leather before—I’ve only ever owned vintage home machines. For the longest time, I stayed far away from leatherwork. But if I’m honest, my past experiences with recycled fabrics on those machines have already taught me plenty of lessons (the hard way). Let’s just say I’ve destroyed more than a few machines because I kept telling myself, “Come on, you can handle this!” Spoiler: they absolutely could not. My stubbornness has sent too many machines to the dump, and I’ve spent way more money than I care to admit on parts and repairs I wouldn’t have needed if I’d just accepted their limits. For years, I’ve been on the hunt for the “perfect” commercial walking foot machine. You know the one—affordable, reliable, all the bells and whistles. But let’s be real, broke and cheap doesn’t usually lead to perfect, right? After lurking here, reading posts, and soaking up advice from all the knowledgeable folks in this group, I was finally able to narrow down a list of machines. Some were dream machines I thought I’d never be able to afford—but guess what? Dreams do come true. I’m thrilled to share that I just bought an Adler! She’s not the prettiest gal around, but she’s in perfect working condition and comes with everything I was hoping for: a servo motor, needle positioner, knee lift, and even 2 hours of training from the seller. And the price? Totally right for me. It’s taken me six years of battling inconvenient machines and my own stubbornness, but I finally made it. I’m here with all of you now, and I couldn’t be happier to join this amazing community. Thanks for reading, and I can’t wait to learn and grow alongside you all!

I didn't buy it, I found an Adler 67 instead you can see the picture in my other reply I'm pretty happy

It's not harsh at all, I actually did just that, went to the next one. I found an old Adler 67, looks like a boat anchor, but it's in mint working condition. It as a brand new servomoteur, a needle positionner, a knee lift. It's just 30 minutes away and he's including 2 hours of training on the machine. For 600 CND So I'm very happy, and, it's an Adle

I really like your explanation, I'm looking into one right now, it's 800$ CND, one leg of the table is missing, and I'm not sure about the functioning status, cause right now it's like a jigsaw puzzle. I have more photos if necessary You have an opinion on it?
