lazybum Report post Posted December 16, 2010 Hi. I was scouring the webstore of obbigood label and i noticed that quite a few wallets have this kind of card slot as shown below How does one achieve that kind of card slot without the card inserted via the top slot falling all the way to the bottom?

BIGGUNDOCTOR Report post Posted December 16, 2010 The slots pinch the card, and the lower cards keep the top cards from falling lower since they are angled towards the back when inserted. That's my story , and I'm sticking to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skald Report post Posted December 16, 2010 I am eager to get to know too. I fear BIGGUNDOCTOR is both right and wrong. I.e. many or most (all?) just do it the way he describes, but I think it's too much too ask to explain to anyone using it that "You have to use the bottom slot first" - and then the card goes mysteriously "gone" when using it in everyday tear and wear. You could of course put some small bits of leather at the backside, and glue it to both layers, at the point where you want the card to go no further. But that would quite surely be visible on the finished product after a while. Not nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
royslsbry Report post Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) When I make a card slots I have a folded piece of cloth ( like silk something thin) behind it to keep the cards from sliding down.The cloth is glued down first at the bottom and glued a the the top of the first slot.The cloth is folded half the way down of the first slot from the bottom( I usually use a card to make sure it is where I want the top of the card to be ) then is glued down there to the cloth already there and glued then at the top of the next slot I glue it and I fold it again half the way down the second slot and glue it down and fold and the glue at the top of the sec slot and so forth untill I reach the top. Then it gets stitched across the slots and top and then I place it in the wallet's liner and stitch the bottom and edges. You don't have to stitch across the slots unless you want to.Once all pockets flaps ect are attached to the liner it gets glued and stitched to the wallet body. I hope this makes since. Your making pockets behind the slots.hope this helps. Edited December 17, 2010 by royslsbry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazybum Report post Posted December 17, 2010 Oh ok so to do that kind of card slot it involves gluing only? Cause i don't see how the stitching across can be hidden. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
royslsbry Report post Posted December 17, 2010 When the sides are stitched it will hold it in place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
