Andrew Chee Report post Posted January 12, 2012 Hello all, I came across this type of case and I was wondering how the gusset for something like this is done. Do they use some tiny post bed machine to make this or some other piece of specialized machinery? Is it possible to sew a gusset like this (or something this small) with a regular industrial flat bed or cylinder machine? Thanks. Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leatherimages Report post Posted January 12, 2012 My guess, w/o looking at personally, is that the stitches you see on the gusset are ornamental (read false). It could be the front and back are stiched together, but I even doubt that. The gusset is probably just covering over where the f & b are glued together. But w/o seeing it it's just sour grapes.

Andrew Andrew: If you click on your picture and when it comes up, hold down CTRL (cmd) and Hit the [ + ] plus sign repeatedly you can size that up substantially. Then you can see that the stitches along the side of the "gusset" is different than the stitch along the top of the case. I think Leatherimages is right, it's a decorative feature probably just glued on to hide a seam. P.S. To get your screen back to normal... CTRL and [ - ] minus key.

Sylvia Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Hm.... Then is it even possible to sew something like this? Andrew I watched an Italian shoe maker show how to sew up those narrow toed shoes. And he had some serious tricks up his sleeves. I think it could be done, but I'm not sure it's worth the headache. I've tried to find the video for you but haven't had much luck. I'll try again tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
