Holster Making Video Overview

Great Video, well put together, and as for the mistakes...you learned from them And if you hadn't pointed them out, we'd all think it was just "Your Method" Thanks very much, you've done a great service for people who are starting out in this!

Eric,

I just watched your video for about the 5th time and I have another question.

It appears that in the process of cutting the stitch grooves you are creating grooves in all areas EXCEPT where there will be stitching. This seems particularly evident in the area around the rear belt loop where the two halves are folded together and stitched.

Is this because your Tippmann Boss sewing machine creates it's own stitch groove as it stitches?

Always curious about the details,

Lance

Lance - you are correct. I'm not cutting a groove anywhere that I'll be stitching - they're just decorative cuts. Reason being - the Boss does a good job with the stitches on the front side, and if I were to cut a groove on the back side, it'd be VERY difficult to align the stitches with the groove. If I were hand stitching, I could angle the awl to align with the groove. But with a machine, I'd rather just make the grooves decorative and let the machine do it's own thing. The machine does a pretty good job of flattening out the stitching on the back side.
