Thank you for picture I get it now. Wha5 ma Hines did you use to sew tha5 on the stitches look good

Sorry should read what machine 

I sewed it on my CB4500. I appreciate the compliment, and thank you, but I wish I could show you something that I sewed on my Randall.  You would understand why I prefer it.  Unfortunately, it had serious pre-existing conditions and I traded it back to the trader I bought it from, and haven't gotten another.  I do have a Landis 3, which is said to nearly rival the Randall in appearance of stitch.

Matt, does the #6 have no feed dogs?  I know that it is a needle feed machine, but I've never actually seen one in person.  If there are no feed dogs, then it would be very possible to make a raised plate that would work.

That's right, no feed dog. The standard plate is very simple -- a short strip of steel with chamfered  edges, a needle slot at both ends (different sizes) and a half round cut for a locking screw.

The video below (starting around the 1:08 mark) is a little corny but shows a setup that looks promising for sewing thick leather extremely close to obstacles. I don't even know what subclass that Adler 205 style machine is, but that tall, skinny foot immediately behind the needle sure feeds that thick leather well and generally stays out of the way. The special throat plate also has cutouts that allow obstacles on the underside very close to the needle. I can see that combo working well with T-style buckles. Unfortunately, I have no idea where you can find such a machine, sorry.
