Good Dürkopp Adler Machine For Sewing Hems, Cuffs And Arm Holes On Leather Jackets/coats? (Italy)

Hi Dominic,

I had a very quick look and nothing jumped out at me. My advice would be to send them photographs of the kind of work you do and see what they have that would suit.

I think you would be best with a machine with a wheel foot rather than a walking foot machine because you can see what you are doing much better with the wheel foot. Wheel foot machines will feed garment leathers just fine.

Hi Dominic,

Dürkopp Adler makes the world finest sewing machines; I got six of them my self.

About your question,The website had a great collection of sewing machines. I found many machines that you could use there.

You need a one-needle lockstitch arm or postbed machine, triple feed or wheel and needle feed (on the postbed machine).

I found only one Dürkopp Adler triple feed arm machine with one needle There

There were many Dürkopp Adler postbed machines including some special models for working with jacket armholes and sleeves. There were many Pfaff models there to but no prices, with out knowing the prices it’s hard to make a recommendation.

But I still think you will get more for the money buying a pfaff 335 triple feed arm model that a Adler 69, or 269. (similar model in Dürkopp Adler, The Adler’s are more expensive)

Find a machine with an Efka 220V Dc 1600 or 1550 motor. Or a Ho`Sing position servomotor. With those motors, you will be able to sew stitch by stitch among other things.

The company has many machines that you could use; It all depends on your budget. Tell them what you need and your budget. Then post their offers for you here with the price, this way it is easier to help you. Trox

Thank you so much, you are always very precise and informative in your responses.

However, I've found a big second hand industrial sewing machine dealer here in Italy.

Here's the link to his website in English:

Are there any particular sewing machine that you think could potentially suit my needs? Could you indicate the brand and model of the machine pls?

I'd appreciate any suggestions and recommendations. Thanks.

Dominic
