Big things are headed to the workshop! š ļø
I just returned from visiting the incredible team at MJ Foley Co. in Michigan, and Iām so grateful for the expertise of Luke Westbrook (in photo with me) and Jamie Oliver. Weāve spent the last few months collaborating on a custom configuration for the Duerkopp (āDurkoppā) Adler 669-180010, and it is finally ready for shipment! Iām so glad I could stop in to meet the team and go over the new machine in person before it heads our way.
For the last year and a half, Iāve tested several manual binders, but none of them delivered the meaningful quality I strive for. This machine is truly differentāwith its oscillating binder arm and synchronized movement, the binder and presser foot work in perfect harmony.
A huge thanks also to Tennessee Attachments for crafting a custom binder to meet our specifications. Investing in the right tools is what allows us to keep our focus on quality and intentional design. I canāt wait to get this running in the shop!
MJ Foley Co - 100+ years (established in 1922) of serving the sewing machine industry. This is āhands-downā a phenomenal company to do business with.
