Same here, got some nice HO craftsman sides from Springfield in 8-9 oz....allmost impossible to cut with head knife, I am now using a shoemakers blade...still hard as it can be to cut....tends to slip and can ruin ur day in a hurry!! BUT it molds most wonderful arround any gun!! Not sure what causes this...its not age, I have some sides for 3-5 years here and they cut like butter!! I am sure this has to do with the tanning, my guess it has been sped up or something chemical added to it....this would change the consistency of the fibers...?!!?? Not sure... Only solution, super sharp knife, super careful and talk to the supplier....they need to hear what we need or not like!! My 3 cents... Jimbob

thanks a bushel for all the good info....will have to down load the repair manual....seems to me when it works forward (timing....why does it not work backwards...?) same needle position to hook....just different turning direction...hmmmmm...?? Will see what I can do, so far this has ot been a big issue.....but it needs to be fixed. Again, I will check on the manual and report back! Greetings to you from me... James

My dear Adler 105-64 startet skipping stitces in reverse....then more, and some more.... All is well in forward motion, no problem there....feed dog is tight, needle is new, and it stitches exactly back into the needle holes....if it sew sperfectly forward, it could not be the timing, wonder what efects the reverse stitching to skip stitches so badly... Seems if I go a bit faster in reverse it does better....but no need to go fast in reverse. Maybe some of you all have an idea.... Thanks for any info... James

will that roller foot fit on an Adler 105-64....? Or is there another roller foot for this Adler available...?? Thanks

Ohhhhh yeahhhh, Toledo Bob has always an aswer....I leaned this very early! If he just would grab his business and move about 400 miles south....haha... It is priceless to have an mechanic near home, a phone call can fix a many things....but a experienced hand touching ur beloved machine and actually fixing it is cool. And lets think a minute, answering a phone call and talking people throu a problem costs time and time is money!! So thank You Toledo Bob for many aswered calls....to me and many others!! I also try to take care of my machines myself, not a mechanic but can do basics...sort of makes ya feell good when that 60 year old sucker hummes again after u had ur hands in it!! Thank you to all GOOD sewing machine mechanics....!! James
