How Did He Do It?

That's not a bad idea. It looks like he indented it and then used a camouflage tool or something over it. Modifying a screen roller might do the trick to get that clean edge.

That indentation is caused by the center presser foot. It has a lump behind the needle hole that is supposed to push the stitches down into the leather. My Toro 3200 came with that foot, and after 3 projects, I decided that it had to go. It left those big marks you see on the bottom tip of the sheath, on every turn I made on my work. I ground the foot flat and polished it up and no longer get those ugly marks. The lump was rounded and it ran off one side or the other of the stitch line, leaving those marks. Gump

I did the same thing with my machine.
