I don't have an Artisan. I do sew bullet loops with my walking foot machine, or my Union Lockstitch machine. On the walking foot machine, I install my right toe pressor foot set (no left toe and narrow inner and outer feet). The foot works normally when sewing the diagonal stitches under each loop. Then, it allows me to sew right up to the edge of the newly formed loop, which I hold down by hand, with a suitable Craftool inside it. The Union Lockstitch is actually better at doing this, because it has no inside foot at all.

It may also be possible to use a welting foot set to sew bullet loops. My set is 1/4" and is too narrow to cover the loop of even a 22 calibre round, covered in 4 oz leather. I'm guessing that a 5/16" or 3/8" (or metric equivalent) welting foot would do the job and allow you to sew right against the right formed edge of each loop.

if you don't mind buying john bianchi's 3 dvd set for making gun belts and holsters , he shows clearly in detail how to sew bullet loops. a wonderful set of dvds.

should be around $50. also included is a 90 min. dvd of him - his start in making holsters and the fame he gained through innovation. very well worth it.

Hi buffalocuir, John Bianchi and Matt Whitaker helped design my presser feet so you will be able to sew bullet loops. They will fit the 441 style machines. You may have to modify slightly. Thanks, Steve

Thank You
