The cons are that you have to have enough free space behind the first stitch for the trailing presser foot to grab onto it, and that you will lose some vertical space (~ 1/4") due to the tall upper section of the inside foot.

Uwe Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 I made a small batch (5) of my version of the inline presser foot (named UP441-ILSS) and they're now available for sale for $70 ($90 for the set) in my ebay store: http://r.ebay.com/C7t3Tt If you're located in the U.S., you can also order directly from me for a 10% discount (send me a PM to get the ball rolling) Here are a few shots of the production version: Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos
Members dikman Posted July 29, 2017 Members Report Posted July 29, 2017 No doubt about it, Uwe, you do some nice work! Constabulary, the bluing worked, just thought you might like to know. Not quite up to Uwe's standard, but, hey, the leather won't care . Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

RockyAussie Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 They look pretty good Uwe but can I ask if you considered putting in a groove at the bottom to straddle the thread? Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram

A thread groove would be fairly easy to add with a small diamond file or an angle grinder. I also considered making a variation with a slightly angled/curved bottom surface to conform to the standard curved throat plate, and also one where the rear foot comes super close to the front foot with almost not gap at all. But realistically, I have to stop making changes and settle on one design at some point to start with. I'm lucky if I sell enough of these to pay for all the end mills I broke making the half dozen iterations leading up to this one.

Though stainless is IMO overkill. It's a shame getting things cast is so expensive in small numbers. Well that's the case here at least.Hope it works out.

Members AdamPCain Posted July 31, 2017 Members Report Posted July 31, 2017 I have yet to buy my first machine but am soon. I run a 5000 watt CO2 laser and these could easily be cut the blanks out and then mill and drill the step out. I can't wait to buy a machine to make some diy parts. Quote

Uwe Posted October 26, 2017 Report Posted October 26, 2017 I'm working on another batch. They'll be ready shortly.. Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos
