prinze Report post Posted March 20, 2014 Hi guys, I am very new to the leather industry and now considering to buy a cylinder-bed sewing machine to make fashion bags with canvas and cow or sheep leather. I used to use old Adler 69-373 for a short time in a leather work shop and it worked pretty good. However, it's quite hard to find a second hand Adler 69 here in Thailand, hence I am looking for other brand/model which can deliver the same stitching quality and has similar specification. There are 2 choices at the present(all are used machine) 1) Juki DSC - 246 2) Juki LS-1341 I mostly use chrome tanned leather and the material thickness to be sewn is about 5-8 mm. Can you suggest which one is close to ADLER 69? What points should I concern when looking for second hand sewing machine? I am also happy if you recommend any other sewing machine(well known brand here are PFAFF, Durkopp adler, Juki, Seiko, Pegasus, Yakumo and several Chinese brands) Prinze Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
