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
-
Leaflet with specs:
i have one
bought it as a sailmakers machine
but you also can zig zag leather pieces together
-
Yes i did Some werk on it
Here you find the service manual (which helped me with everything)
It is in german,
there is also an english version on that site but that is from the singer 169 which is the same as de Adler 69 (yes that is strange)
regards, michiel

Hi georgi,
As far as i know There are a lot of Adler 69 around and there are a lot of aftermarket parts avalible.
the Adler 169 on the otter hand is rare and it hard to fine parts
i have both machines but only use the 69 for binding.
I would like to know Adler 269 binding kits fit
Regards, Michiel

Are the inner and Outer foot both rising not high enough?
or is one doing it beter than the other ?
btw: my interpretation of “ footlift “in the specifications is the Max distance between the machine bed and feet and not the movement of the feet While sewing (but That is how i read it)
my adlers in that class have an footlift about 7 mm but i think the movement of the foot is also more like ca 4 mm
regards Michiel

In the picture its aan rollerfoot nut its the same procedure for an walking foot
and the Gauche van be a piece of wood or something else with the right size
Sorry, auto correct om my ipad only does dutch so changes everything

Great machines
if it is in aan Good condition i would nog worry too Much about spare parts
sent you aan pm in Dutch......
-
Yes its a adler 69
but i canot Say What subclass it is with only these Photo’s
I can see it has needle transport at least ....(or triple feed but it is hard to see)
-
The adler 98 is definitely stronger than an berina 217
the feed dogs are much wider and its an stronger machine, verry useful for sails
the adler 266 / 166 is for heavy needles and threads (needles 140-230)
but like wiz says : for boat covers and other stuf which does not require zig zag an triple feed machine is better
(i use an adler 167 for stuf like that)

If you turn the machine by hand (slow) you can see if the stitch in reverse is longer or constabulary is right
(my guess would be you are missing stitches in reverse...)

Hi nick,
i have an 98 too and never found a manual.....
beware: on the back side there is a cover,
if you open it you will find yourself with some loose parts!
i just wanted to take a look but it toke me some efford to get everything back in place the right way (and with the timing right)
but if its not working properly maybe some did the same and did not succed to get it right again.
Kind regards michiel

2 hours ago, Constabulary said:
Michiel, you would not believe how much simpler this is on a Singer 111 - guess how I know
Every time I need a part for an adler i think about you and your singers constabulary
(but i still keep buying adlers)
-
ther are no timing marks, but when you put the neelde and hook in the right position for timing the hook
you only have to put the belt on its place
-
this post was verry helpfull when i had to replace the timingbelt of mij adler 169
when I did it again with an adler 67 I made some photo's of how i got the belt through the gap....
