Members JoDeeH13 Posted Wednesday at 05:58 PM Members Report Posted Wednesday at 05:58 PM Hi, I'm a long time lurker, but I don't remember introducing myself. About 6 years ago, my husband and I bought a boat cover canvas biz. With it, came a Singer 531B-8BL/Consew 206RB-2, a Adler GK373-67, industrial machines, and a patcher Adler-30/Singer 29K71 [or similar]. I was sadly mistaken that the elderly couple would help train me with the machines, and it didn't happen. I was lost until I found this site. The members helped me find manuals, etc. I was especially excited when I learned that my machines are built for leather. When we picked up the patcher, it was covered up in a dusty corner, and I was told that it didn't work. Thanks to the info I found here, I was able to clean it up, and get it going. I love that machine. I've repaired ball gloves, purses, and used it to sew patches onto the g-kids letter jackets. Last year, launched me into leatherworking. My firefighter g-son asked if WE could make a leather radio strap together. Well, that WE project ended up being totally me. It was an experience, that's for sure, but I loved it. So, my attention now, is leaning more towards leather work. After I posted a picture of the strap, a friend has asked if I would repair the rope/braid on her leather bag. I am thrilled that this website has been updated. I'll be looking for help with the bag project. Thank you, admins, for all of your work. I am so excited to be back! Quote
