Members Oldtoolsniper Posted March 30, 2015 Members Report Posted March 30, 2015 Wow, that is really nice. What size thread did you use top and bottom? I'm asking because I have an Adler 30-1 that is pretty much the same machine. Any tips on using the thicker thread? Quote
Members BobW Posted March 30, 2015 Members Report Posted March 30, 2015 Nice work, Shakey. I too am curious about the thread and needle sizes. Is that the biggest thread you can use with the 29-4? I've been looking at them on ebay for a couple weeks. I'm still not 100% sure this is the right machine for me. It looks like it does a good job on the thicker stuff for you. Quote Bob
Members Shakey Tate Posted March 30, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 30, 2015 Thread size is 138 with a 22 needle on the border. 207 with 23 needle on the finished fold over of the holster body. I used 138 on the edge because first its mainly for looks and the holsters are two layers laminated, 5/6 and 3/4. Second because I the bobin on these machines is small and won't hold much of the big thread. Holds about enough to sew two or three holster layered edges. I use the same size on the bottom as I use in top. Usually on edge I just stitch with the hand wheel for better control. Thanks for the complements. Quote
