Hello John, Do you know where the 3-stitch zig-zag cam came from? its hard to find one, Do you still have it and is there a change you would be so kind to make a scan or something for me (so i can make one myself) kind regards, michiel

Great posts, thank you very much!

Good news! looking forward for your pictures.. regards michiel

As far as i know the bobins of my pfaff 138 fit in my adler 69
-
-
Or post a picture of your hook/bobbin
-
Thread size 20 shouldnot be a problem for your machine make some stitches by hand on a smal strip of leather without the lid right of the neelde (so you can see the upperthread pass the bobin) my gues is ther is too less space for the tread to pass the underside of the needle plate maybe the bobbincase lifter is not adjusted for bigger thead (or it is missing at all)

I mean the trhread guide pin:

When i thread a machine i usualy take one or two turns trough / around the thread pin on top of the machine most of the times i do not see much difference in the way i make the turns. but with some thread, when it starts to un-twist in the needle it helps to make turns the right way (in one direction it will make the thread loser and in the other way more thight) this works for me….

Adler 205-64 timing question/s
Michiel replied to Cumberland Highpower's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
When i buy an used machine i always try to get an service manual and follow all the steps in it (Even if it seems to make normal stitches) -
Have you seen this video? (and some other ones on his channel)

Here you find parts lists for the adler 120 https://www.duerkopp-adler.com/en/main/Support/downloads/index.html?action=search&prop0=%2Fcommons%2Fdownload%2Fpublic%2F120%2F&prop1=

This looks like a fine machine for what you want to do
-
The sewing machine on your picture has only one foot (so it has not “triple transport”)
-
But that said that Adler 68FD62S looks like an nice machine and if the price is right you should be able to use it for some leather topstitching (but still are better of with an other machine for the rest of the work)
-
I think Constabulary is right: start with an flatbed (triple transport) second machine for upholstry could be an postbed (for topstitching) but more likly a double needle with better transport have you seen this channel?
-
Good to read you solved your problem there seems to exist moving bindersets for the adler 269 (which may fit on the 169 as well) but they are expensive anyway I will keep using my 69 for binding….
-
Is the binder synchronised (with the needle and inner foot) or fixed?
-
Looks nice how is the stitch length when stitching on a piece of card board or paper (and without thread)?
-
I do have a parts list but its too big to post here for me if you sent me a pm i can mail it to you regards michiel
-
An adler 98 wouldnot be my first choice for a binding machine (only has drop feed) I have never seen binder kits for this machine (and parts are expensive) but if the machine is working you always can add an standard edge binder
