@nickyhorses You really might like to tell people where you are. This is a global site with members from all over the world. It would appear from the IP address you used that you are likely the Temecula, California, 92592 area. You should add some info to your profile, including your location.

Michiel sent me a copy to post here. adler 204 servicemanual.pdf Also applies to model 205

Do a YouTube video and post the link. File sizes here are limited.

Have you considered a new routing for the replacement line? Might be a lot easier in the long run.

Don't lift the presser foot so high that it releases the top tension disks. It's not skipping stitches, so the needle is in a good location so the hook still grabs the loop. Having made these comments, it appears that you are losing the bottom tension rather than the top tension as the knot isn't being pulled down into the leather. Or, are you pulling the top thread up as you are completing the stitch? @Wizcrafts should be along to help soon.

Don't know why she hasn't updated her website, but she has gone out of business and is retiring. Sounded like it was prompted by some sort of disagreement with her supplier. Look for her on Facebook.

There is a thread https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 that has some helps for resizing photos. Even for the iPad. There are online sites too.

bermudahwin hasn't been on this site since August 19, 2019. This is an old post (in the wrong forum). I will be locking this thread and archiving it in old/sold.

OP hasn't been on the site since May 10. So I am archiving this. Locking and moving to Old/Sold.

Thanks for adding the photos. You can use various apps or software to reduce the size of your photos. 800x600 or 1024x768 pixels is adequate size for most details to be seen. Smaller files are also great for people on the fringes of the internet that take a long time for larger files to download. Some helps are located in this thread. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171

Just wanted you to be aware for future posts. Also add a post to clarify your shipping if you aren't happy with shipping world wide. Some locations get very expensive. Happy to have you here, as we can all learn from each other as we proceed down the road of life.

@mrwatch A picture or two would help so we can see what you are trying to describe.

@YourToolinBuddy Moved your post to the Marketplace where it should have been posted. Your offer of free shipping may come back to bite you. This is a global forum, so you may be asked to ship anywhere in the world! Please read the marketplace rules and comply https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/

Perhaps you could describe some of your work here instead of relying on your website. The website feels very impersonal. with discussion here, and a few photos with your explanations would be a better way for us to get to know you better.

I rode bareback for years as a kid cause I couldn't afford a saddle. I remember riding someones horse with a saddle one day. Couldn't get the feel, was bouncing all over the place. Had to kick my feet out of the stirrups! Then my ankles were getting clobbered by the stirrups flapping all over the place. Wasn't too interested in a saddle anymore!
