Hey im after some feet for my sewing machine. any ideas I was told by adler in australia they don't make the parts anymore.

Hi,

your machine is a bottom feed only and use the same feet size as the Adler`s cl. 204/205-64, 104, 105, cl. 5 and Singer 45 K (and many more).

I know that Cowboy bob (dealer on this forum) has both a roller foot and a harness foot that will fit your machine. I am 99% sure about that, but take the key with measurement (on the presser bar) to be sure. Those above feet's measure 8,4 to 8,8 mm key width.

The height does not matter, just adjust the presser bar spring.

Now when you know what to look for, you can also modify the ones you find self later. If you want some made for you, speak to Thomas Brinkhoff, head of spare parts Dürkopp Adler. http://sew24.blogspo.../downloads.html

Good luck

Tor

im not sure how to measure what you are talking about. there is a bar at the back of the needle that doesn't move that the roller foot is clamped onto with a screw.

Yes that is the one, take of the roller foot and measure the square part of the bar its mounted on. I do not think Adler made a unique presser bar for the - 6 subclass. I am pretty sure they have used the same as on the subclass -64, and on other machines with similar feed system. I have three different big Adler and they all use the same feet. The only ones that are different is the jump foot, sub cl.- 8.

And the triple feed sub cl.`s - 74, - 374 and - 370.

All the other class`s: 4, 5, 104, 105, 204 and 205 feet`s will fit on your presser bar. I am 99 % sure of this. Then if they will be any useful to you is an other matter. They can be of different length, but that does not matter either. Some are segregated, feeding feet`s. You cannot use them without grinding them smooth first (because of the passive presser bar). Do you only have the roller foot for your machine? One foot DA still stock is the regular -64 foot, however it is very expensive and to wide. What are you going to sew, use the foot (feet`s) for.

Here is a pic of the Cowboy 2500 narrow harness foot that also fit the Adler. It is 10 mm wide and have a inside key width of 8,4 mm. ( to 8,5). The presser bar of my Adler 204-64 i about 7,5 mm, so the foot is a bit to big but thats no problem. When you tighten up the screw its no play in it. Cowboy bob ( Bob Kowar on Toledo Industrial sewing machine) sold me this one for about 50 to 60 $. Cowboy Bob is his member name here. I attach a bad picture of it on the Cowboy machine.

that's the foot I want for it. also need a spring for the roller foot, as it moves when I lift the foot due to having no spring. the bar on the machine is round is about 7mm. in a square shape Im trying to put a pic up.

Hi,

thats the first time I have seen a picture of a 205-6. You will not be able to break that one, its built like a tank. Here you see a better pic (a bit better anyway) of the CB harness foot. Yes you got it right, thats the square bottom end of the presser bar. I do not think other than DA will sell you that spring, if any at all. I think you must buy a new roulette roller presser foot. Alternatively, just find a Little piece thin spring metal and drill a hole in one end. Then heat it and bend the other end slightly. You can use a thin metal saw blade HHS grade (grind of the teeth). You see on the pic how it works, it should be easy to make. You can also buy a foot like this (pic) at the same place and to about the same price as the other foot. I bought it from him, http://www.tolindsewmach.com/, he is a member here. Cowboy Bob, he normally reads all the sewing machine related topics. The foot you have will fit your machine better that this aftermarket one, so take my advice and fix it. If you are going to use old Adler machines you must be prepared to customize your own sewing feet`s. Not much are available for these anymore, you can do it.

Good luck
