Machine Sewing molded cases?

[MikeG]

Is there a way to machine sew molded cases like shown in the image?  I have seen some recent discussions on special feet.  I am guessing that with the proper foot I could sew close to the raised portion of the case, perhaps leaving more leather for the foot to walk on and then trimming after sewing.

Any hints on how to do this and/or any special feet needed would be greatly appreciated!

I guess with piping feet this can be sewn

Thank you - I will look for piping feet

I wonder if a zipper foot might work.

Thanks for the responses.  I have not had any experience with the different feet, so I appreciate these recommendations.

I use a special inline foot set on my Cowboy cb4500. The width is about 1/4 inch, or a little less. The presser foot sits behind the alternating inside foot and sews inline on narrow flanges. If your machine is a 441 or clone, you can get these feet from Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines, who are advertisers here.

sorry I was wrong, I misinterpreted the picture (have you updated it?), forget piping feet.

Thanks, Wiz!  I have a Juki LU-563 I am just getting set up.  I did purchase a Consew servo from Toledo -- I will contact them about feet for my application.

No sir, I didn't update the picture.  I really didn't know how to explain wanting to sew right up next to a vertical "wall" when making molded cases.  To date it has always been hand stitching.  I know manufacturers like leatherman must machine sew their cases, so I figured I would ask here.  The answer seems to be a narrow or inline (or both ) foot setup will be the ticket.

@MikeG I use these narrow zipper feet to sew close to molded pieces when I make briefcase molded handles using my 1341 clone. These may fit the LU-563 but I'm unfamiliar with it.

The H&E narrow foot set is nice and works well with the narrow feed dog & plate for the 441 machines when doing holsters.
