im not sure how to measure what you are talking about. there is a bar at the back of the needle that doesn't move that the roller foot is clamped onto with a screw.

Hey im after some feet for my sewing machine. any ideas I was told by adler in australia they don't make the parts anymore.

hey was just wondering if the reverse on a machine is suppose to hit the same holes as forward. I have a problem with my bobin dropping a ugly looking deposit of cotton if I put it in reverse, it also hits half the size stich as forward. I have found if I manually reverse it in the same holes as forward there is no mess. Any suggestions?

thanks im going to give #12 a go. according to the needle guide on this forum 200x25 is the right size for that thread, id just need leather point needles. apparently you can't run #8 in both top and bottom.

Hi i handsew leather with 0.8mm poly waxed hand sewing thread. Was after a machine thread that will look pretty similar. Would that be a 8 or a 12? Also would i be better with 200/25 or 230/26? Machine is a adler 205-6 and will only be used to sew leather.

where would a 133k8 fit in against these machines?

http://bit.ly/ZMC2Er That's the machine

theres a machine here called 205-6... i found out it does about 6mm. i decided its not heavy duty enough for me. i want a 3/4 inch one but they go for like 3500+ here

anyone know what these machines are equal too? Im after something that can sew up breastplates and western bridle browbands. was going to buy a singer 45k/25. which machine is better? do they sew the same thickness?

132k6

Hey guys I might be buying a singer k6 tomoz a black one. I do saddlery only strapping really. Would like to use it for some strapping but not sure what I can. I handsew everything at the moment. Just was wondering what kind of leatherwork it should be able to do. Someone just told me there bad for leather. I know they are good for mending rugs. What thickness will they go through?

anyone got one there willing to part with?

this skirting leather was 6-10mm in thickness. the strap cutter blade just broke everytime or the strap wasnt straight. However i used the strap cutter on 4mm bridle leather the other day and it worked great. So im guessing for cutting your heavy duty herman oak cutting style reins a plough gauge is the best.

bought some US leather skirting leather a while back was very heavy 10mm. my strap cutter wouldnt touch it. friends dixon plough gauge did it easy. was wondering if a osbourne draw gauge would handle. was cutting 5/8 straps. Also will a draw gauge cut 5/8 straps out of heavy herman oak? I know most people use ploughs here, but wasnt sure if it was just preference. ie going forward or drawing. thanks!

Hi im from Australia. After a 2nd hand leather splitter in good condition. pref osbourne or dixon.

Hi i've been looking the internet for a western breastplate (I think Americans call them martingales or breast collars) pattern to make for my horse but had no luck. Can anyone on here help me? thx
