Just adding on here....I think I would need a pressure foot to get closer to d-rings and such, or closer to a edge...the weaver video showed these things for the 205...but of course as we know now it is ( the 105) not a walking foot...can I still change foot...?? JimBob

this is a standard 105-64 and the way I see it and I have seen a video from Weaver on the 205 series which has walking foot!!>> mine does not have a walking foot, the needle walks and the singel presserfoot is helping!!?? So parts should fit?? What parts/feet do you have?? James

No, the way I understand this the 105-64 is needle feed and does not have two seperate feet bars like I have seen on the 205-64??!! James

I am looking for different pressure feet for my Adler 105-64...also differnt roller guides...attachments, any used parts out there...my curent Pressure foot marks soft leather big time...are there different pressure feet out there, what can they do and what are they for??!! Can u tell I am new to this...HiHi...but I love this old Adler and it sews like a charm!! Anybody made his own pressure foot?? Looking for all info about this matter...I understand different applications sometimes need different pressure feet or guides ( roller guides??) Hope there is somebody out there to answer some of my questions... Thanks for your time and efforts!!! JimBob

cool job, especially liked the tip of your Tennis shoes in most picture....HiHiHi... OK, ther bag is great for a quick job, these kind of bags are "hip" right now...I got tons of people need one of them !! Ur flaps would be better as a whole part of the sides, keeps seems out of weather and does not wear out to fast...sides out of lighter material is Ok if it keeps somewhat the original shape....u have some folds in there...but no biggie...I like the outer front stitched to the sides better when lay top over top, urs is inside to inside...top over top seems more clean look and gives more ( better shape, form, cleaner look...) All in all this is a great side bag!!!! well done!! I have been doing many bags for all kind of scooters...u done a bro a heck of a favor!!! JimBob www.berkheimarts.com

All well said, if you glue it right, flaten it out, use a soft edge scraper and scrape it down, let it dry u have a perfect flat suface ( especially when using veg tanned leather...) Sewing is just as been said, not to much tension, cut a light channel, start from same side both ways and u be fine...dont force it, let it go its natural way>>>> JimBob

lets see some leather work, have not seen much on ur website... greetings James

There is a gent in Kentucky, his health is not well and he has several old machines, such as: Consew 118, Juki 562, Adler 5-5/85178, Singer 241-12, Singer 29/4, and Singer 47w62….. The Adler is a very old machine and a beautiful monster ( almost collectors item !!!) ....I have seen these machines, they need some TLC/cleaning but all turn and sew, all but the treadle Singer has cluch motors and tables/stands... I can provide pictures from him..... I like to help this gent, if you are interested let me know and I provide more info and a phone number!! No profit here for me to make, just trying to help... Again, most of these machines are old but maybe interesting for some of you... I am all new to this forum, been working leather for many years Greetings

I think I just bought a wonderful Adler 105-64 here in my neighborhood, now I will need lots of help, a manual...especially I like to find a service manual (!) sources for parts and people that own one and want to share the mighty secrets of sewing leather with an Adler 105-64 !!! If anybody has one, knows where to get manuals, shematics for threading and drawings of the inside.....parts or just want to share ideas...let me know. I am all new here and enjoy reading the posts on sewing machines....lots to learn, thanks for all help!!
