Default Potential Quilt Piecing Machine

Just in case I ever get the urge to piece a quilt made out of old saddles, I picked up an Adler 205-64 that I’m going to try nursing back into use this winter.

It doesn’t look it from the photo, but it’s about 9W x 24L x 18H, and weighs about 100 pounds. I want to make a handcrank out of it, but probably not a portable.

Have you seen Karen McTavish's Facebook page? A while ago she was trapunto-ing leather for a set of dining room chairs.

Looks like a cross between an anvil and a sheet metal riveter.

Straight up, I showed that to my Armor students last night and the reply was "hey, that's got some really nice forming surfaces and curves, how thick is it?" lol... I said NO to re-purposing an old industrial into a metalworking tool.
