Hockeymender Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 Hi everybody! Does anyone have experience with the Durkopp Adler 69? I am looking for a good machine to make leather bags (cylinder arm) Kind regards, Rodge The 69 is an excellent machine. Used one as my mainline machine for years. Loves 92 thread, but as Glenn stated it will sew 138. Has a large hand wheel and that lends to give the machine a little more power. The only negative is the bobbin size, it is not as large as the bobbin on the Pfaff 335. Quote Regards, Joe Esposito www.hockeymenders.com instragram: @hockeymenders.com
Members Janett Posted September 5, 2017 Members Report Posted September 5, 2017 I'm trying to learn how to use a Singer 17SV-20. It is nearly identical to a 17-23 that came with it for parts. I'd like to be able to make leather handbags. Any suggestions on where I might learn? THX! Quote
Members DrmCa Posted September 6, 2017 Members Report Posted September 6, 2017 Looks like a textile machine for setting sleeves into shirts. I hazard a guess it is not a walking foot machine. It may be good for very lightweight leather, but even then I would prefer a walking foot machine as this one might mark either side of leather.
