I am hoping that this will allow me to sew the welting to the flaps of an English saddle. That said I am not sure whether a holster plate or a stirrup plat would be better. I emailed Cowboy to see if there plate might fit. But haven't heard anything yet. I spoke with Weaver the screw pattern seems correct but the needle slot is off. I know this is an old post but I stumbled across it and thought it all looked pretty similar to a 205-64 Adler I had as it seems to be a needle feed machine rather than the a 441 style with walking foot. Coincidentally I wanted to fiddle with the foot a little to get it to be able to sew closer to edges. As you can see the Adler foot was not chicken feed. You'll laugh but I found one of my 133K13 darning feet fitted the bar perfectly and I was able to grind and polish it to make a nice foot with one toe very short and almost missing.. I am in Australia but in desperation prior to my 133k13 foot find I ended up conversing with a Barb Hershberger at Weaver who sent me the following: Item Number Quantity Ordered UOM Description Unit Price Extended Price 205-20-008-0 1 EA PLATE HOLSTER 65 65 105-22-003-3 1 EA FOOT ADLER 158.54 158.54 N-800-005-107 1 EA GUIDE COMPLETE ROLLER 159.5 159.5 65-3062 1 EA WORK PLATE W/GUIDE ATTACH. 180.95 180.95 Quote

But if you need a plate, maybe this will help. These are the plates we supply for the CB-4500. I realize this is an old thread, but do you have any of these? Quote
Members Old Coach Saddlery Posted March 29, 2020 Author Members Report Posted March 29, 2020 Thanks for the help. I actually picked up another Bull and it had with it a number of plates someone had fabricated. They where just what I was looking for. The best part was I didn’t know it when I got the machine . I just stumbled upon them. Quote
Members DavidMillsSaddlery Posted April 3, 2020 Members Report Posted April 3, 2020 Another Bull? So you like them so much you’re running two of them? Quote
Members Old Coach Saddlery Posted April 3, 2020 Author Members Report Posted April 3, 2020 To be truthful I purchased it as a spare for parts. In the add for it I noticed it had a little damage when they moved it from what ever auction it had gone thru. The seller was not familiar with sewing machines so I offered him $500 pointing out the damage. Once I picked it up I made an attempt to bend the curved bolt that hold the spring for the presser foot on top of the machine. I now have 2 machines. One set up with 277 and the other with 207. And another at my employers. Lol. My personal collection is 2 bulls a juki DNU1541 and a 30-70 Adler. Quote

Members Old Coach Saddlery Posted April 11, 2020 Author Members Report Posted April 11, 2020 I have also sewn on a Juki pro 2000. same as a 441. I would recommend that machine or a quality clone. Easy to find parts. Nice machines. Quote
