Thank yall much, I reckon I am on the hunt for 180, in the 135x16s...too many dang numbers in these needles for my feeble mind to grasp...lol..but I will get it down...
-
Been using a Boss for years, bought a nice used 1541, been running round point 135x17, I found some 135x16, 140 size 22...is this the biggest? What would be the biggest needle I can run in this machine? I have searched here, looked at the manual, and googled, but I guess not understanding what all the numbers on the needles mean is a hinderance... I would like to run a 138 nylon thread, and should I run the same size in the bobbin? Or a size smaller?

I have had my GF for about 4 yrs...had my first issue a couple months back...my warranty had long been gone and I was really worried about replacing it...it went dark...(prolly from me burning stuff I wasnt suppose to)...so I emailed them....they agreed to send me a refurbished Plus model just like I had, with a new warranty. It did cost me a grand...but mine was fried...I am back up n running, and it has paid for itself over and over....I make custom stamps, burn plywood, etch tiles, & etch and cut leather goods with mine, and that was the first issue ever...and it was remedied in less than 2 wks total down time...the only negatives you will hear are from people who have not bought one..

I ended up selling this stitcher to a Canadian...he paid what I had in it, and for some reason hauled this thing back to Canada to put into a museum...lol...from Germany, to Fla to its resting place in Canada...

Needle plates....is what I bought for it...lol....I can't figure it out....

I have an Adler 30-1 with cobbler bench that I have given up on.
I don't really care to ship it, but if you want it my bottom price is $500.00
I bought a couple needle for it and it may seem like a dream for you, but I bought a Boss and will not look at this thing much longer...if u want pics look at my previous posts, I have put up pics, but don't have any loaded on this tablet...thank ya...

I live in Tampa, I have an older Adler shoe patcher, and I am in desperate need of someone semi locally to look at and possibly bring her back to life, I have purchased the parts I knew were missing, but it still needs someone with a better eye....I hand sew all my stuff, I like it, but would love to be able to use this Adler....anyone have any clues?
-
Update, package arrived from Constabulary....could not be happier, Adler parts definately fit an Adler machine....lol....now to learn a new art....the art of sewing with a machine...lol
-
Thank you all very much, I have only just found this site and could not be more pleased with the help I have gotten...The parts are coming from Germany, and thank you again very much Constabulary...
-
Constabulary, how much? And where do I send the money? I just got off work, and was dreading the process of grinding and drilling....lol
-
Thank you very much Chayse...if it wasn't for the contours on that 29k plate I think I could get it down to size myself ( it almost fits), but it doesnt seat flat on the arm...so yeah it'll have to be flat..cant wait to get it going, to atleast figure out if I can machine sew...lol...or be stuck on a stitching pony my whole life....BTW I got it for 200 bucks, and it looks like that is all that is missing, probably fell off when the people where moving it after their grandma died...
-
Now to find a used one somewhere in this great big world....
-
From what I can make out the Adler plate should be more straight opposed to oblong. My next option is trying to machine the 29k to fit, but I would much rather buy one that fits
-
Howdy, glad to have found y'all. Started doing leather sheaths only this year, and have been bitten by the bug. The only cure I have found is more leather....lol
-
Oh I must also add, this is my first machine, but I do leather work at a shop on wknds with a lady who has been sewing 50 years. Just never with a patcher....

I came across an Adler 30-1 (grey). When I bought it was missing throat plate, and bobbin....I searched and from what I found was Singer 29K parts should fit, so I bought the needle plate, bobbins, and plate pin. Well the bobbins fit, but plate or pin do not...is there another singer that is compatible? Maybe I got mis information
Does anyone laser etch their patterns directly onto the leather?

I case my leather, etch, cut, whatever it is I am doing, then I clean it right up with more water and a toothbrush...no soot from cuts or engraved, and when done it looks like a stamp...mine is a contained unit, so I cant use any finishing products beforehand...just plain ol veg tan...
