CdK Posted October 26 Report Posted October 26 My order is on the way. I preferred to get complete sets, that's the way I roll, as I have needed to modify/finish pieces in the past.

Members Constabulary Posted October 27 Author Members Report Posted October 27 (edited) They have arrived! Took 10 days from China to Germany and no extra charge. I´m using them on my 111G156. First glance.... The "fork" foot set works fine and line well with my feed dog - no issues. The right toe foot is touching the thread guide but the one I have installed is not the "original" one I have one from a 211 so that is on me. The left toe foot does not fit into the foot bar. The end that goes into the foot bar fork is a bit thicker than on the other feet It also has a different finish, the other feet fit well. Maybe I´ll do some grinding but I´ll check with the seller first. The scissors are sharp a hell. I ordered them for just having a pair in my tool box. REALLY SHARP!!!

Members Constabulary Posted November 1 Author Members Report Posted November 1 (edited) I'll get a new left toe foot but have to place a new order - thats okay for me considering the fairly low price of the feet. They for sure have something I could use. I also found some interesting cheap feet for the Adler 67, 167, 68, 168, 69, 169, 267 and so forth "line" in their store: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005008687919538.html nutin for me Singer Idjit but looks like a good deal for the Adler folks 😉 Edited November 1 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2

Here are some pictures: @Constabulary Variations like what you found seems to be somewhat common with some items I got from the orient in the past. Also the lack of good finish on parts, such as presser feet for the 801 bell skiver, have been a minor irritation but not uncommon even from touted & expensive US manufacturers/resellers. I'm fortunate that I have the tools and skills to finish or modify items to get them to work properly. BTW, the items I ordered are now in country and should arrive in about a week.

CdK Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago I received the 3 sets I ordered today. The L & R and needle feet fit fine but there is a difference in design and finish between the L & R but should work as intended. The "both" foot needed a touch with a Dremel stone to open up the width of the fork by the screw hole to allow the screw to pass through the hole, about 0.1mm. I've had this with some other feet sets in the past so no surprise. Quote Leather work machines I own: Thor 1341, Thor 441, LSZ-1 clone, 801 bell skiver, Tinker's Delight Shoe Patcher.
