Doug C Report post Posted March 1, 2008 Ed, I really like your bags also! How do you hold the gusset in place for sewing? Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esantoro Report post Posted March 1, 2008 Ed,I really like your bags also! How do you hold the gusset in place for sewing? Doug I glue lightly and clamp. I remove the clamping clips as I stitch. The only gusset seam that is difficult is the middle one, and that is only about two inches on the corners. ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted March 1, 2008 You probably should go down to the Hobby store and pick up one of those miniature kitchen sinks to put in there for the pix. It holds everything AND the kitchen sink...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm curious to see how buyers will respond, as my standard size bag is 16" x 11.5". ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunfighter48 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 Hi Ed, Your progress on these bags in the last 8 months has been outstanding. They look terrific and each is better than the last. The detail on this bag is just extraordinary. Are you going to leave it natural or dye it? John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
