Presser Foot

[Red Cent]

Just asking. I recently sewed a mag pouch. Below is a fuzzy picture. I sewed this using the edge of the leather placing the right single presser foot against the edge of the pouch leather.

Do they make a presser foot that is just a little more away from the needle?

I also recently sewed a belt. Didn't think about it then, but I could have used the same method. Would like to get a little farther away from the edge.

The answer depends on the make and model of your sewing machine! Whatcha got?

Cobra 4.

Why aren't you using your Cobra edge guide to place the stitches where you want them? It can be set any distance to the right of the needle.

Yep, got the edge guide. I have used it with belts.

When I make the mag holder I mold then glue the molded part to the back. The back is usually a bit bigger and I trim when finished. Anyway, with an "adjustable" presser foot you could do corners, tight curves, or other things that the guide would be an obstruction. You could do a real neat guided circle. Using the edge of the leather would insure a flowing stitch always at the same distance from the edge.

It occurs to me that the left presser foot could be shimmed to stand a little away from the needle. Can't do that to the right single presser foot. Have to think about that one.

Looks like you need a drop down edge guide. It can ride on top your bottom layer with the bearing guide against the top layer. Allows fairly sharp turns.

Hey, I found a couple of interesting things in my search.

Anyone familiar with this machine?
