TheMackinaw Report post Posted July 25, 2022 Hi folks, I hope you and yours are well. I am interested in a heavy duty Adler flatbed machine. I have an Adler 105-064 and an Adler 069-373 (converted to a binder) but I want an Adler heavy flatbed to add to the collection that can handle 24oz canvas with Tkt20 thread / 140 needle. Which would be the best mahcine for the job? 67, 68, 205? Or am I way off? Many thanks Thomas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michiel Report post Posted July 25, 2022 For canvas an adler 67 , 167 or 267 will do (best with subclass 373) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I once had an Adler 204-370 which could sew 3/4 inch with up to #346 thread. The head weighed about 125 to 150 pounds. It had warped the wooden table that came with it. It is a compound feed walking foot machine, identical to the 205-370 cylinder arm version, but a flatbed. This machine is out of production now. The equivalent is a Cowboy cb243. It is huge, just like that Adler! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMackinaw Report post Posted July 26, 2022 Thank you all. So - 67 needle feed / regular bobbin 167 needle feed / larger bobbin 167-373 walking foot / larger bobbin Is that right? Many thanks T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
