I figured I would start a new 'thread'...no pun intended! I am in need of some assistance with threading my machine. I do have the manual, although a bit confused. The manual covers the 104 and 105 series but what is confusing, the 104 looks to be a 2-needle machine. Do I follow the threading procedures for a 2-needle machine even though mine is only using one? Does it thread like the 205-64, looks as if they are roughly the same, although the 205 has a walking foot? I will revisit the manual and study it a bit harder...right now the coffee hasn't kicked in and am just a bit confused about it. Thanks in advance! V/r, Chayse

I have begun to finish up cleaning and repairing my Chandler 305-64 (Adler 105-64 clone) and I am faced with the issue of having only 1 presser foot! Seeming that the original Adler presser feet are prohibitively expensive...I am at a loss. I either work with what I have or possibly sacrifice my only foot so that it will except more available foot options. I have looked and have found close substitutes but it would be a roll of the dice if they will actually work or not. I have attached several pictures of the foot that I currently have and I know that there has to be different presser feet for this machine that will work...hoping not to spend an absorbent amount of money for different foot options. They have literally cloned everything when it come to sewing machines...why not feet for this machine. I have thought of casting different feet or possibly trying to fabricate my own on my mill. Then again, i could modify the only foot I have to accept different feet from other machines that are not so expensive. I would basically cut the foot portion off the 'shank', mill it so it is as close to horizontal as I can (hopefully within a few ,001's) and attach more common presser feet. Basically, I am asking the knowledgeable folks here on how I should proceed....so let's hear it...at this point...I only have one option without modifying the only foot I have....

I just acquired an Adler 105-64 leather sewing machine. I am looking for the user manual that goes with it so that I can make sure I have it threaded right. If anyone has one, please let me know. Any other helpful info on it will be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU
