You might be able to get the Adler to do this , if you rigged up some sort of straight edge line guide* on the arm so that as you sewed along the arm you could watch the stitched seam that you were sewing stayed aligned with it, and thus make sure it did not wander.

*Something that went around the upper arm and held a block with a hole bore vertically so that it allowed a vertical bar with a straight edge to be lowered so as to rest parallel to the lower arm on the material along the seam as you were sewing.
Two large "hose clips" or strong cable ties to hold a bar with a vertical hole and a side hole to allow a threaded guide stop screw..that would let the bar slide up and down..then on the bottom end you attach a small bar about 50mm to 100mm long that rests on top of what you are sewing , right up against your stitch line..and parallel to the lower arm..if you watched that your stitches stayed "along it" that would keep your seam " along the arm" pretty straight..Not perfect..but it might do until you can get a true along the arm machine.

You have a picture with an example of this?

I checked out that ad and the machine is setup as a standard crossfeed machine, not up the arm. The foot and feed dog must sit inline with the arm to feed up the arm. This one soen't have that.

This is the machine that he needs, the problem is that in Argentina there should not be any, you will have to consult what is the import price!

Does anyone know any place in the United States where they sell it to check the price? Thank you!

There are 2 different long arm types there and I think you are wanting the 7411RL-37 Feed up the arm sewing machine for transverse seam. There are 2 videos there showing the differences.

Good catch, Wiz.  Do you think the machine was modified from an 11-13 or misidentified in the eBay ad as an 11-13?
