Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 14, 2019 Moderator Report Posted October 14, 2019 Are you asking about a Union Special or an Adler 105?

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 14, 2019 Moderator Report Posted October 14, 2019 43 minutes ago, archerydude said: a union special Are you aware that it is a twin needle (inline), chainstitch, saddle stitch machine for decorative stitches? You can contact Union Special for more information about the machine's age. Here is a link to a detailed manual for the Union Special 100TN. The copyright date on page two is 1962 for the second edition.

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 14, 2019 Moderator Report Posted October 14, 2019 I just read in the manual that this model was designed to sew neckties. On page 4 is the following description. Quote 100 TN For necktie closing, joining tie, lining strip and band. Needle travel 1 1/32 inch. Equipped with attachment for centering lining and tape. Machine may be used with or without tape. Stitch range is 2 1/4 to 3 stitches per inch.

And I have no idea what that is so I asked If it is a model 100 TN, it uses two inline needles to form the decorative saddle stitches.
