How Do You Sew This Seam?

[Wizcrafts]

The first one of these pictures is a seam that came up on several cases when i searched and it is done from the outside. The guy in the link who used a landis probably did this seem as well on his machine and wet formed it afterwards.

The answer to how you sew long seams is you start at one end and work to the other, towards yourself. It can't really be done if you pre-glue, you need to put the seam together as you go. Its tight quarters but doable. Sometimes you can cheat and start from the center towards both ends in two pieces.

Nothing beats a transverse feed machine for sewing long seams on an bag. I lament not having one every time I repair a rifle bag.

My hillbilly solution is to remove the feed dog and presser feet from my Cowboy CB4500. I install the flat slotted throat plate and set the stitch lever to the zero position. I draw or scribe the stitch line on the top of the seam (and sometimes use an overstitch marker to id where the needle should hit) and move the bag to the left or right as I sew. It is tricky and sometimes requires a helper to guide the bag.
