Best practice: How to sew felled seams in leather with special foot with integrated guide

For felled seams in leather normally an adjustabe additional edge guide is used. With the innovative sewing feet with integrated guide from Dürkopp Adler you will not need this additional guide anymore.
Adjustable guides are a great help, but have the disadvantage of slightly varying distance between seam and edge due to manual adjustment.

The advantages are:

• easy handling due to small sewing gauge size and free sewing area
• always correct and constant distance between edge and seam
• constant high quality sewing result

Dürkopp Adler offers tw types of feet (see attached pictures):

• feet with long sword for mainly straight seams
• feet with short sword for frequent curved seams 

All feet are available with integrated guide on the right or the left side of the needle.
