Sew luxury leather bag handles with Dürkopp Adler 205: Best practice

How to sew high quality handles for leather bags and handbags?  Special sewing gauges on the Dürkopp Adler sewing machine class 205-370 will give you the best results.

The welt and the welt jacket are guided directly by the sewing foot so that an additonal edge guide is not necessary. The distance between the material edge and the seam is always equal and small. This supports the luxury look and feel of the bag handle. This solution produces nearly no waste caused by bad seams or stitches so that you can save a lot of expensive leather.

The price of the sewing gauge parts is not only attractive for industrial producers but also for small manufacturers who already own a 205-370 or think about buying a used one and equip the machine with this gauge.
