Members Hags Posted October 25, 2019 Members Report Posted October 25, 2019 I have a chance to buy an Adler 205-8. It says can sew up to 1 inch of leather. I am having a hard time finding any real data on this machine. Anybody know anything about these units? Thanks Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.

Here are some links to those conversations and a manual. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/19014-adler-205-8-qustions/ User manual from Adler Considering that it has bottom feed only and uses system 214 needles (same as a Singer 45k), I doubt it can sew anywhere near an inch. It's more like 1/2 to 5/8 inch.
