Is there a way to sew loops for cartridges to a gunbelt with a sewing machine....do you continiously sew or do you back tack for each loop...what pressure foot would be needed...thinking it has to be VERY narrow...?

Any input...thanks so much..

John Bianchi's videos showed sewing the loop down, then going off the loop leather, . . . diagonally, . . . to start the next loop. I also had a commercially produced belt a number of years ago, . . . it was done this way also.

The foot doesn't make that big a difference as the loops will be lying flat anyway, . . . or at least that is my experience. After sewing, . . . come back and form the loops as they should be.

May God bless,
