Machine Sewing Question

[Gregg From Keystone Sewing]

That sounds like a plan. I don't know any leather workers near by, but I can take a sample to a shoe maker, let him try on one of his machines.

Well, being in Brooklyn, you have a wide range of sewing machine companies, like us in your area.

Even we are only about 90 miles away or so here in Philly. We have people who travel up a lot farther from Delaware and Maryland than that.

The left toe foot will hit the studs. The right toe foot will be off of the collar.

The foot with no left side foot or right side foot, whichever direction you prefer to go, will follow the line of snaps with the stitch line approximately 1/8" outside

of the studs. You would normally have at least 1/8" to 3/16"between the stitch line and the right foot. It will land on the outside edge of the strap.

I have done this, it works.

I can put 9/16 spots on a 1 inch strap and sew along both sides with my 16-88 singer 22 oz. or less. stitch line will be1/16 from spots and about 5/32 from the edge. If it is thicker (up to 40 oz) my Landis #1 will do it if the spots are not more than 3/16 tall. everything has to be just right for this to work.
